    Sounds like a visit to the Citizen's Advice Beureau and possibly the small claims court?

    PAS should have a rubber doughnut at the top not a U/J

    Sounds about right. You don't want them working loose!   ??)

    Well I suppose you could use a supercooled, high energy magnet?  ;)

    I've been removing them by gently tapping around the rim with a screwdriver and a light hammer. This eases the cap out without too much grief.

    I have a standard GT6 silencer in S/S with a 6-3-1 (Mike-the-Pipe). It's not loud but sounds luv'er'ly  8) Can you fit a TR6 6-3-1 into a LHD GT6 (anyone)? They are supposed top be a better version. Its the steering column you see.  :-/

    Broken diff

    Richard B replied to GT6 M's topic in Drivetrain

    I had one like that a couple of years ago on the way back from an Autosolo in the PI Spitfire. Diff went bang and as I tried to drive off again, it pumped oil out of the hole in the casing  :'(

    Tailgate

    Richard B replied to Fesour's topic in Body

    No there's a pair of torsion bars under the plastic cover. At a guess one has broken. Either get S/H or have a spring maker make a replacement. AFAIR You need a piece of wood between the bars to remove/refit if they are intact. You'll probably find Mike Weaver has documented it in his 4x4 Estate Blog.

    Panic over. I'll order from Chris on Wednesday. As usual, delays have crept into the project...  :X

    Have a look on eBay. I think the 2000/2.5 style pump is the same.

The socket style with rollers is the type I recommended above. The knurled type is not as good and requires more access.

    http://www.canleyclassics.com/searchforapart/?desc=REVERSE%2FINHIBITOR+LIGHT+SWITCH&ptno=BAU1074 James Paddocks also list that part No. I'm sure I bought one from Dave last year for Alison's Dolomite J'Type O/D.

    Is there anyone within easy (50 miles) travelling distance of Guildford who has anybody got a set of Superflex trailing arm bushes for a Stag / 2000 / 2.5 that they can loan? I will order a set for Chris Witor next week and send direct to anyone who can help. or pay cash. Just that I have had to take rather more off of the wife's Estate to change the diff and I may as well change the bushes whilst I doing it. I'd like to get the job all done this weekend.

I don't ever like disagreeing with you though matey!  ;D Whilst I also respect Marcus's 'tinkering'/engineering skills, I think straps are better there to accomodate rock in the engine. We'll probably find Marcus's engine is suitably secured and this is not a problem for him.  :-/

It was a Stag owner (professional mechanic) who got me onto those stud extractors. Make sure its that type though. and yes the old studs are a write off. I bought the S/S studs from E.J.Ward expensive but I thought worth trying. I had new plated steel studs stick after less than a year on the engine. :'(

    Have you tried these? They have got most of my Stag head studs out. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Stud-Extractor-Removal-Tool-4pc-Set-3-8-1-2-Drive-/261010958297?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3cc57727d9 Supplied by various companys, Sykes Pykavent, Snap-on etc...

    Stub Axle

    Richard B replied to Lightfoot's topic in Drivetrain

    Just push it in and do the nut up tight (check workshop manual for torque). Use a new nyloc nut.
