Thanks Gents, Appreciate the information.

Its still a tight fit having now attempted to relocate it, so for now I wont fix it permanently, but if I notice any running changes, that will be my first port of call..

Thanks again..

Hi All

Could someone confirm for me please whether the small piece of metal that sits in the rocker cover (the breather, so the one that has a rubber pipe connected to the carbs pipework) is a push fit into the rocker or whether it should be fixed in some manner.

I ask because I have removed the ...

Just picking up on this thread..

Is anyone able to offer a suitable alternative gearbox gaiter that would fit or could be used to replace one on an early Sprint please?

Have seen/read other threads that suggest that a Stag one might do the job but was wandering if anyone had any other potential ...

Hello

I was wandering if anyone has managed to adopt a better/improved solution for the door handle mechanism and the poor clip system that is housed within the door itself. I have an issue where front doors won’t open from the outside due to the metal link assembly slipping out from the clip… Have ...

Thanks all

Appreciate the help and information. Hopefully will get around to looking/fixing this issue at the weekend..

I have just spent some time searching the forum which I don't find the easiest to be honest, however on this occasion I have found an article that Yorkshire Spam did and also a link to another site, where he kindly shows the centre bearing differences. The manual sprint one ...

Hi Steve

Thanks very much for the reply and that all made sense.......Until I spoke with a friend about it and he posed the fact that he understood that the early Sprint's was based on the early 1850's and on those cars the centre bearing was below the support bracket not above... He pointed me to ...

Hello All.

Looking for some help in confirming the fitting of the prop centre bearing please. I fitted a new speed cable yesterday and whilst underneath noticed that the prop centre bearing isnt secured (no nuts)... I have never had the prop off nor really looked at it to be honest and so I need to ...

Thank you Gents.

I believe it to be electrical rather than oil level as the level was topped up a little while ago but i will check that as well, so thanks for that advice Sean...

With Alun's advice on the exhaust removal, I think I will pop it up off the ground onto axles, take a look at the ...

Hello All,

After some help with regard to the overdrive on my car as I am trying to diagnose why said overdrive isn't working... :shock:

I have power when the ignition is on coming through just one of the two wires that go to the switch. My question is should both wires be providing power or is ...

Thanks Richard.

Will take a look at this as well. Much appreciated.!

Thanks Steve.

Planning to whip the side lights out for an inspection after your comments so thanks for the heads up!

Thanks everyone. Happy to hear that all of you point the issue to being a bad earth and not something else!

Shall take a look at the weekend if it isn't too warm!!

Thanks again, really appreciated.

I seem to have something a little odd in respect of the front lights and their operation. So situation is as follows:

• Side lights come on ...

Hi Ian/Mike

Just a quick note to thank you both for your help/information on my issue....

I purchased a hose-tail and fitted it recently, leaving it for a few days to check on seepage from the master cylinder... Had a very very small amount so had to tighten a tad further, but now all seems well ...
