1600miles and no breakdowns? Nice one

So the chain and the sprocket were rubbing on the casing in the area circles red, surprised the chain is still ok 😨, how much play was between the tensioner piston and its housing, I replaced mine as it had light scoring , but if the bush inside the housing was worn could be an issue. Assume all...

Book values are 145psi for 7:1 and 160 psi for 8:1 head, 50 seems well low but it’s consistent in 3 anyway I would guess your tester not reading correct too. If you have a cracked valve seat , these can be replaced to suit unleaded petrol

Change the water pump while in there and the tensioner, you could run a long tap down the threads around water pump as they could get corroded up, change any iffy looking bolts for new too. I didn’t use the a beam torque wrench I guess as you use it to tension belt with a click type it’s clicks...

fluke make good stuff

I got this one https://www.screwfix.com/p/kewtech-ac-dc-multimeter-temperature-probe-600v/94916 Apart from the normal voltage and resistance it does diodes and capacitor checks , with the temp probe can check thermostat and the setting point of jam, even has a buzzer for continuity

Yes , repaired bottom and added new skin, see link for more pics 😀, I just did the one door wouldn’t fancy all of them

Try clamping off the flexi hoses at the front wheels and at the back axle and see what pedal feels like then. Then release one at a time and you will see where the problem is

Usually on the oil filter housing

That big hub nut is cheap and can be unscrewed by tapping round the edge with a screwdriver or chisel if you don’t have the box spanner

Wrong that’s a Salisbury axle which is correct for the 109

UNF makes sense
