Glad it worked out for you! Be brave! Plenty of good advice here

Take the whole thing off, clean and replace filter and O ring otherwise it’ll do your head in.....like my leak ☹️....I see you say you are a novice mechanic, you won’t be for long wit a Series All the best and welcome

Right, progress. Wing off to get acces to clutch box. Gasket fine and tight all round the sides apart from the wee H bit in the middle. Load of sealant over it, all good, leak gone ! Handy getting the wing off can nip up the steering box at the same time

Mine did that and it turned out to be a short in the fuse box under the steering wheel

I cant get it either. Seems the channel directs water onto the clutch pedal box, its a LHD, and the clutch box was renewed last year with a new gasket. Ive poured water right onto the back of the pedal box where the slave cylinder is and it pours through somehow☹️ Inside is sound, no holes or...

Its a kind of temporary thing to see if it works or not if it does am thinking of making a rubber un ......and the bulk heeds been well painted last year

Thanks guys, Thats the thing I was wondering about originally! My homemade canvas seal seems ok, it sits against the bulkhead fine and when I get some seals for under the bonnet all should be well! Hopefully.......

Some progress, Ive fitted the bonnet hinge bushes and made a wee seal from some canvas from my old Ser 2 hood....Steve2268W, Ive only got kind of inset seals in my vents which were fine for Spain...am ordering a set of seal now!

I was self employed and spain changed the goalposts after brexit, needed to continually make a certain profit every year to qualify etc also the Mrs couldnt get residency as she works in the UK, prior to brexit it wasnt an issue due to freedom of movement, theres more, i could go on and on and on.

Thanks Steve, yes Ive got seals in, seem to be fine altho maybe ......looking at them again, they’re certainly not the right pattern, something someone else has done before me I think....

Great minds! Yes, I replaced the lower windscreen to bulkhead seal last year! So am narrowing things down gradually.... I’m an Argyll native, spent a few years in spain till brexit bolloxed it and home we came

Ahve just ordered them, nae shoes for the kids this year

Thanks for that, I had totally overlooked the function of the bushes! Am off to order some, will get them on and try the hosepipe test!

Excellent, will try that. Upon investigation this afternoon its coming through the clutch pedal box, which was replaced with a new gasket a year ago. Am thinking preventing water gettin in between the bonnet an bulkhead is preferable to taking all the brake servo and clutch box out and...

Yes , am pretty sure I dint have those either☹️ If no seal fitted originally, has anyone fitted one something like a door seal alomg that channel against the bulkhead?

hi folks, in the joys of pouring rain and howling winds that constitute ‘summer’ in Argyll, I’m having to use the Series as a daily driver as my other cars in the garage☹️ Have discovered an annoying leak through the clutch pedal (its an LHD) and I was wondering if there should be some sort...

Did mine with paintman and a brush, only prep was washing down with white Spirit....amazed at the quality of paintman, went straight on wi a brush, no probs

Excellent, thanx

hi all, am replacing the original pigtail glowplugs with new ones and am replacing the original 1970s wiring as well! Can I just check that I’m right in thinking that the glowplug wires are 60A so 6 mm sq. wire would be the right? Thanks all .

Yes, it was used on the farm for the first couple of years then went on to a TF plate......i painted it with spanish navy boat paint initially here it is in the mountains
