On my SV, I replaced all 4 dampers and springs for less than £600 .... supplied by ProComp Motorsport, using dampers from Protech which were revalved by ProComp to suit the Caterham. Work really well for my road use.

Couldn't take a photo, but I passed a shrink wrapped helicopter on a low loader on the A2 this morning. Recovair truck

Cut the cable ties on the gaiter. Undo (just crack) the lock nut at the outside end of the track rod arm which sits against the track rod end. Mark the inner faced of the lock nut position on the rod with a bit of paint. Find the flats on the rod and unscrew the rod from the track rod end ... etc

And when fitting the gaiter and you can't reach through the side skin to push the wide end on to the rack (nearside on my SV), fold the mouth of the gaiter back on itself half an inch or so, push it up to the rack, then use a screwdriver or spoon handle to unfold it and it pops into place over the rack spigot 👍

Just remove it and add the extra oil drain holes on the shelf of the sump gasket. Why take the risk.

Talk to someone like PGM, Boss Racing or Sevens & Classics

To measure current, the meter has to be in the series circuit, not in parallel.

Don't put brake fluid in the Gunson EziBleed bottle. Just use it as an air reservoir. Otherwise any air leak on the cap makes an effective brake fluid sprayer.

Change the single wire sender first. Cheapest option. They can be unreliable

That is too low. The fan would always be on, draining the battery ! The thermostat should do most of the work, with the fan coming on at higher temperatures, ie when stopped in traffic. Mine indicates a steady 80C all day long.

Don't lose the o-ring on the stem of the pick up

I hope 60psi is for the tow truck -
Contactless laser thermometers are very useful, but give false readings if aimed at reflective surfaces, like unpainted aluminium or steel components. If you have to use such a surface it is suggested attach a piece of tape first.

No, I recall it was higher in the 80s

Examples for fan switch
-
Look at the marks on the fan switch in the top of the radiator. Possibly something like open at 92 and close again at 87 ? Sender is not very reliable. What thermostat do you have fitted . I use an 82C to keep things cool at any ambient.
-
The connections for the switch lighting circuit are very close to the cut out in the dash. Very easy to short when moving switches. Wonder if a loose strand touching dash ?

See above. The post at 14:49 on Wednesday.

Clamp gone to first claimant

I'll have a look at the size of the lot over the weekend and get a price

Mk 3 2000E wasn't manufactured in 1970. This is from a Mark 2 Cortina

There is a very different feeling to brake (clutch) fluid and engine oil on your fingers. If it was clutch fluid, expect to find the level has dropped in the master cylinder.

So, this system is still available.

Update .... Sold .... 2 hoses, steering clamp and lambda sensor.
