Watch the dates, old post that OP did not return on.

Probably a very old tractor as well.

As above first thing is to ensure structurally and mechanically sound. If that has been done you can focus on cosmetics. What you have looks from the single photo to aboriginal and unmolested. As they are currenrtly what command the highest...

That is good to know, mine is very much the same [1990 Ninety] good chassis and bulkhead, tidy inside but bit tat body, paint non existent in some places but it is still a working farm vehicle. Out in the country side looks fine but not so in a...

Found where they go and I’m a dick. They came off the wing where the indicators go. 😏

TV's Mythbusters proved it is possible to polish a turd, but a turd is still a turd even if there is a shine on the outside. Checking and sorting any issues with chassis, bulkhead and running gear is what should come first.

Oh..........aren't we allowed to help them and ask questions? When did that rule get put in place?

Have you considered lowering leafs and chassis mounted neons?

It could be something getting hot in the speedo. Perhaps a drop (no more!) of oil where the speedo shaft runs in the bush in the back of the speedo might help. Logic: The speedo relies on the generation of eddy currents. These currents...

Fresh diesel.

Never heard of plastic tank for the side mount.

I got new bolts 👍 120-150Nm seems high 😬

Just tighten up with a usual length ratchet handle and socket. If your bolts are original worth getting a new set. Some come with pre applied thread lock. [no spring washer used] Not only does it keep em in but is better than using copper slip...

Standard drop plate for series at John Craddock £23, couple of fat washers will do instead of silly priced plate in @Wildefalcon post. Bolts will be imperial size.

Yeh gave them a good clean.

Remember which way the fuel pipes go. The link pipe between the carbs has a restriction for the return These carbs are simple as above needles or float stuck. Gentle tap with a bit of wood on the base sometimes frees them up

And I did not bother painting them.

It may be worth a double check that the crank flange and flywheel mating surface were totally clean.

Could result in clutch judder but this is just a guess. How and with what did you measure it?

Got some of the zinc plated ones when I fitted new door five years ago, still good and I live by the sea.

It wasn't me, way over my head. I worked on aircraft for 24 years but the car system is beyond me. It took a guy who knows the ford engine to work it out. Took him 30 mins.

Turns out to be a fault in the immobiliser system. Rear passanger door wiring damaged sending an error signal to the ECU.

Who would have thought, well done for finding the problem.

Ask the stork to take it back.;)

Some of the old seal kits did both slave and master, on just did not need all the bits for the slave, like I said no guaranty.

The cylinder seals for your slave may well be STC 500090 from LR parts [ no guaranty] Do not pull the rod as can be a git to replace through the slave hole. To clean out the housing remove tunnel, gearstick and access plate and blast with an air...

Shure needs an inner wing to bolt that res to.

It's one of those modern plastic coil sprung things. A car of some sort. Probably got those fancy wind up windows and such like.

10 hour job on a lot of vauxhall cars, at £60 per hour. Makes a lot of vehicles beyond economic repair. It's one of the reasons I keep my Landrover.

That's what I thought, not happy as they are.
