I don't have an oil cooler on my 1850 auto and have been advised that it is a good ideal.

Does anyone have the pipes and a oil cooler that don't need please?

If the plugs are sooting up I would suggest that you are running too rich.

it claims to be only 26,000 miles, also to have been 'restored', how extensive was the restoration? it does look a mess underneath, a few patches tacked on, the over spray; so simple to brush on some black stone chip.

be interesting to see what this goes for.

They can be repaired with Pirellli webbing, unless you dont have one at all. un do the fixings each end and cut a new lentgh of webbing etc.

Does anyone have a part number for the Hyundai LSV? I have not come across any for sale on Ebay or a Google search.

Also check that the metal around the bolt holes is flat, previous over tightening can distor the gasket face.

Sams here, does a few shows too, takes parts along etc, I've been to his man cave where he keeps all his stuff, stock constantly changing.

For parts that fall in to the 'unobtainable' or 'rocking horse poo' category, he is my first choice.

I dismantled mine to see if the bearings were seperate from the shaft but they are not, the shaft forms the inner race. Although if needed a new shaft could be made with an interferance fit to the new bearins,

But could to see you were able to find something suitable.

I believ it is a single row type going by the picture in the parts book, different to the stag unit.

I don't have one on mine now, not sure what became of it.

I bought my door seals for my sprint resto from Rimmer bros many years ago and I am very pleased with them. I made a cut guide from some aluminium U section which allowed me to cut the front rubbers at 45 degrees and the rear ones at 60 degrees. I used superglue 406 which is designed for glueing ...

Are N12Y the correct plug? I thought they should be N9yc

I briefly join the RAC based on their 'all wheels up' policy, useful if you have an auto. The first tiem I called them, it took them 12 hours to get me the 50 miles home from when I first called them. The mechanic concluded the fuel pump in my Audi A4 had died, phone brekdon truck at about 6PM.

I lagged my down pipe, keeps the heat out of the cabin and it also improves flow through the downpipe.

Hi

I live in Silsoe Bedfordshire, I have 3 Dolomites at present including an 1850, more than happy to come over and give advice etc.

A sprint condensor has a longer lead but there is a similar condensor with a short lead, i just made up and extsnion lead.

I fitted a Simon BBc unit to my 1850, the Accuspark on my 1300 didnt last long.
