Thankyou mystery, mystery solved! I'm surprised no one sells a replacement for series landrovers. I'm sure the rubber diaphragm deteriorates above the hot manifold and can cause running issues. I'll take mine apart and inspect. I've ordered the 3 emissions hoses, im sure mine has been leaking air.

I was going to try one of these. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/394371707703?norover=1&mkevt=1&mkcid=4&mkrid=7101734352455402&criteo_campaign=770863&criteo_adset=447149&criteo_ad=1906178&cto_pld=hfwefGLSAABGKNBenwvaVQ

I think applying something regularly is the key to the preserving underneath.

I've used Dinitrol before on a Peugeot 205 and it was very good, it gave a nice smooth black finish.

I didn't know it when I bought them but all 3 companies are British.

I've reluctantly started to give Leylandi series 3, some protection today. Last weekend I used a wire brush on a drill and white spirit to remove old waxoyl then jetwashed. I used Jenolite rust converter and 2 coats of Buzzweld chassis in one then filled the cavities with Bilt Hamber Wax. A...

Good on uncle Stan, SS fuel tanks aren't cheap to buy. A new carb, ignition and timing check should get her idling nicely.
