This any good? 1/4 in bore Rubber Fuel Hose - SAE J30 R7 for vintage & classic cars

....as, obviously, the previous owners did!

I wasn't suggesting splitting it, just knocking it off with a hammer and chisel! Hit the corner at a tangent and it will come off. I did this for years before I got round to buying the correct box spanner...

Might just be tight - silly question, you are turning it anticlockwise? they aren't handed. The get-out-of -jail method is to take a sharp cold chisel, place it on the corner of the nut at an angle and hit it with a big hammer. It might bugger the locknut but it should shock it off.

Mayo in the rockers isn't unusual in an engine only used for short runs. Get it good and hot and see if it disappears. This may be the week to do it!

Interesting..... The book says:- brown/red to terminal 1 white/red to terminal 2 White to terminal 3 both brown leads to terminal 4. Mine's a petrol so I can't comment further!

Fuses are for wimps. (no, I've never understood it either)

Brown wires are live - someone's just picked up a convenient live feed from the flasher. The horn should be fed from the battery side of fuse 1.

Check you've got the right connections on the relay - there are wiring diagrams on this site. Is the relay clicking when you try turn the lights on? Is the relay coil fed from a switched feed (normally the headlight feed in the UK so the extra lights only come on with hi beam). The extra switch...

Posh ******!

The bulb should be wired across the points gap. Old timers would trap a ciggy paper in the gap, pull gently whilst turning the dizzy and stop when the paper just started to pull out. Q1. have you adjusted the gap correctly? Q2. have you replaced the condenser?

pdf Land Rover Manuals | Landroverweb.com has the proper land rover book. I think it's an improvement on the Haines.

It clips into a sprung bracket that's on the back of the speedo - don't confuse it with the flasher unit!

The two brown wires are the current feed from the alternator and the voltage sense back to the regulator. Assuming the alternator isn't fried you can just replace these two wires - I'm not sure what size of wire you need but they're reasonably thick. Join them at the solenoid end. The...

What are the symptoms? Is it blowing out steam? is it losing power? or is it just reading hot? Running without the thermostat should still allow the engine to run at a reasonable temperature. Could the voltage regulator that feeds the temp gauge be nadgered? - if so your fuel gauge will be...

Weighing to the nearest mm! LMFAO! Yes the best way is to use a balance and match the lightest bit. You might have to make your own balance but it won't be difficult.

Not even sure about that - modified chassis plus all the other bits would have meant a Q plate.

Assuming you have points, check the points gap and the condensor - These would be the symptoms of failing ignition components and I would guess is the likely problem - check the spark. If that's OK move on to fuel...

Permanent live is usually brown, earth return is black. If you use any other colours write them down in your manual.

Running the wires alongside the existing loom is a god idea, you can tape or spiralwrap them together to make it neat.
