The non-steering lock switch is quite easy to replace. In theory you can replace just the barrel, but the whole switch isn't much more expensive. I replaced the switch on my LWB a year ago with a cheap blue box one while I got the steering lock sorted and it's been ok (and the steering lock one...

One option is parabolic springs. Lots of different opinions about parabolics on here and I haven't tried them myself, but they will give you some increase in body ride height and a softer ride, with maybe some loss of load carrying capability. Lots of info on here if you're tempted to go that...

Mike, the fan motor itself has one speed. The second (slow) speed comes from feeding power to the motor through a resistor. If you have only slow speed working, it may be a faulty switch, or a wiring problem like westone had. IF you only have fast speed, the resistor may be faulty. Note that the...

You don't need the brown/green wire for the heater fan circuit. The wiring diagram for the Lightweight (the one in David's post) has two brown/green wires: one for the brake light switch and one for the hazard switch, so if you have a spare brown/green wire, it may be that either your brake...

You can get everything you need to make your own loom - e.g. from Auto Electric Supplies or Vehicle Wiring Products - including the correct colour cables, but by the time you add everything up, it might be cheaper to buy one ready-made. It depends on the state of your current loom - if it's not...

As others have said, ignition problems can give symptoms exactly like carb issues. But if it won't idle at all without the choke, I'd check the throttle stop screw (i.e. the throttle isn't completely closed when the acc pedal is released) and the idle jet. If the idle jet is clogged, the engine...

+1 for checking the ignition system. I spent several weeks chasing a carb problem that turned out to be poor quality (brand new) points that were overheating. However, it sounds like the MOT tester set the mix too lean to get the HC reading down. Dippypud's link has all the setting info, but a...

Hi, not sure if your 2A has the CB or the CV master cylinder, but if it's the CB then according to my old Autobooks manual, it needs a special technique: "the system must be refilled under a pressure of 14lb/sq in since the angled position of the cylinder leads to air becoming trapped at the...
