Usually with the 5 door shell.. and chassis, and enegine, and gearbox and interior, and axles.. I report every one of these I see to the DVLA

The wiring on the whole works! as far as the heater is concerned anyway. I do know the vac pipe for the recirc valve is shot, but by the time I noticed it the heater box was back in, and I can't see this making the heater cold, but as vac lines have been mentioned I should posibly say that when...

The sensor seal is fine, however it stayed in the swivel, as did I think the bush of which you speak. As my sensor looked like a bit of tin with a wire at one end!. when refitting it pushed most of the way, but I had to tap it using the open end of a spanner layed on the top of it and used a...

stop using petrol, use propane instead.. 220 miles to £36! (RRC vogue SE 3.9 auto)

it is also possible you have the vaporiser plumbed in the wrong way round, there is an inlet and outlet, as I had this probelm just after I replumbed my vap in series as the original install was in parrallel. Thhe vap would freeze up till the engine was totally warm. Now I have swapped them...

I had a realtivly un eventfull fail fro the MOT today, there is rust at each end of the long brake pipes from front to back. This is not severe, depending on how they clean up I am tempted to clean them and paint them as I ahve done a number of times before (due to the lovley weather we are...

Yes the engine warms up quiet quickly not it has a new thermostat, however I still have the heater issue. I also have now noticed a few others which are possibly related to haveing had the heater box out, namely a whole load of electrical systems now do not work which did before this. They are...

More non workingness.. although not as important as the heater ATM.. The dash lights are not working at all, that is nothing that is on the dimmer is working, as mentioned earlier I did have the whole dash apart this summer to replace the heater unit so this may have effcetd somthing I...

Hi I ahve a heater issue with my classic. It will not blow hot, if you allow it to warm up and then turn the blower on it blows warm for a short while, but starts to get colder, till it's lukewarm at best. The car has an LPG conversion fitted and the vaporiser was plumbed in parralel, I had...

KME is (or cetainly was) a polish copy of BRC equipment. I have one of their vaporisers on my 218 VVC coupe, can't say it has given me any trouble and it wasn't new when I got it, so would say its not a bad bit of kit. I woudl also add that the OMVL Dream XXIN is pretty damed good, been about...

In fact the corrosion is above the area where the stregtheners are (were!!) welded to the side sections. The alloy floors don't have this bit. What I found really odd was the fact the alloy one showed no rot in either the alloy section or the two steel sections! Normally I woudl expect the...

Nice.. reminds me.. have you seen the number of 'tax emept' 5 doors about? why do ppl do this.. I report them for tax evasion when I see them. If you are going to ring a rangie to avoid rod tax.. at least use a 3 door one!!!

That is exactly the same as I get from my RRC Classic most of the time. seen 250 but 220 is about right and its an 80 litre tank. Mine is single point open loop. I am pretty sure the reason systems like mine have such a bad rep is due to the owners trynig to make it uese less gas by leaning it...

I've got this problem with my RRC, ('92 with steel floor) so I am cutting it out and repalceing it with a proper alloy one pop rived it as it was originally. Thats what I would do get an old rangie floor cut it down and pop rivet that in. It's how it was originally desigend, so the structural...

I have found what seems to be the stadard rust in the boot floor of my classic (rotted down each side of the main section) not serious but annoying. How hard is it to remove this section? I ask as I have the alloy boot floor from an earlier 5 door classic and buying 2 disco floors woudl seem...

The original fault is now fixed, however… It now blows hot air, for a short while and then goes cold if you use full speed. Is this an air lock or caused by the LPG vaporiser being in parallel to the heater and reducing flow through it as a result? The blowers turn off totally if you use...

As far as I can tell having the whole dash in bits.. the AC will only blow though the centre dash vents! there is no ducting on it to blow air from anywhere else. What does the resistor look like? as the one for the heater fan is a cylinder about 1/2" diameter by about 2" long. (this is bolted...

It does indeed.. but on my '92 Vouge SE the heater blower resistor is inside the heater box, looks just like the one on an SIII. However the fans for the aircon are on an entirely different circuit, and no idea how they are controlled! so there may be two resistors? What would be nice is a...

That depends.. if its like mine ('92 vougue SE) its NOT under the decker panel.. it's inside the heater box whcih will make you wish it was under the decker panel.. Stewart

This will possibly be of some use, but should raise a smile.. I have a Mk1 'Frogeye' sprite, and some years ago it was my daily driver. On several occasions I came back to it to find the ignition wires hanging down from the dash. THose who know these cars will recall there is no real security...
