I've been on this exact search in the past month for my 1850, although at 175/70R13 size to go with 5.5" wide alloys.
The main ones that came up recommended were the Uniroyal RainExpert3, Falken Sincera SN832 and the Continental EcoContact6. The Falkens seem hard to find now in 175/70R13 size ...

I have searched but a lot of the posts are quite old and not many photos remain.

I'm in the process of installing a new stereo in my 1850HL, bit overkill but I've been buying up bits for relative bargain prices, currently all in just under £500 which I'm pretty happy with.

It's in the diary!

Have you got an in line fuel filter currently fitted ??

I have one in my Sprint which when I changed it last year had done a brilliant job. The amount of debris it picked up was astonishing.

I also have a filter king fitted which again ensures a better delivery of fuel to the carbs.

Just a ...

On fitting the tank breather hose, it's much simpler to remove the metal upper pipe which is only secured by the 2 hose clips at the bottom. Take out the millboard panel (if still fitted), slacken the 2 hose clips on the filler pipe and remove the fuel cap. The upper pipe can then be twisted free ...

Great result Rob!

We will have to meet up for a drive out somewhere when the weather warms up and the salt is off the roads!

HNY!

Certainly, now I can (touch wood) trust it to be more than 5-miles away from home! Just bought an Accuspark Strobe so I can correctly set the advance as when ...

Just to update, after the cleaning out in the previous post, the car has now been running faultlessly in terms of any spluttering on two seperate ~30min drives out

Thanks for the detailed reply, I have today cleaned out all the lines and carbs forward of the fuel filter and will give it another go tomorrow.

I managed to grab a quick video of the spluttering, it runs fine and then this kicks in.

I have posted a couple of times on the Facebook group but thought I would post here to keep track a bit easier.

I bought my Dolomite 1850HL back in August, and ended up bringing it home on the back of a recovery truck as it started spluttering and cutting out not long after I filled up with fuel ...

Hi

I must say i am suprised you find these tyres expensive. I dont think they really need the V speed rating, but it does just show the quality.

60 profile tyres will not react well with your chassis, it has a completely inappropriate carcass structure which will finish the progressive ...

Not done a lot of miles on them yet but at £75 each they do seem a superb tyre. Better than £160 each for a period look I don't really need.

Did you go for 185/60R13 size?

I fitted a setof Yokohama Advan HF Type-D A008S tyres to my Sprint last year, it is a period tyre from the late 70s early 80s with the correct speed rating for a Sprint and just shy of 100 a corner. Very pleased with them :D


Interesting, not come across that option, any comparison with ...
