Coil?

Yes thanks all - my local garage who look after my X-flow have cleaned the assembly today and all seems well at the moment but obliged for all the information. FYI Jonathan : RCP @ Milton Common quite close to you and a really good bunch. They tell me lack of use probably caused the problem.......

Should I need to replace a caliper, am I correct in thinking this to be sourced from the Spitfire parts bin. For my 1996 SuperSprint X- flow .

I seem to recall that someone on here reckoned it was from the original mini.....

I think you'll find that Johan is asking about possible ramp and sump problems. Seems sensible to ask the train people direct would be my plan.

Lucky old neighbour......

Interesting -thank you both.

I'm wondering if and when hardened and thus leaking O-rings are renewed, whether the carbs. require a complete retune or would the status quo remain? Also does anyone have a notion as to the cost of a new set of coolant hoses for an X-flow ie Samco silicone or the standard rubber and which type is advised? Many thanks.

Well I pretty much agree with what's been said except for the hand brake issue. When I'm properly strapped in I find it impossible to reach the handle at all! Hill starts are therefore best avoided. The car is as quick as I would ever want it to be and they sound sublime when about their business......Go for it !

Wot he said! £85.0' ish.......

I'm hoping that will be a Breitling for that money!

Professor's taxi please!

And there was I thinking it was a town in Anatolia...........

Longer vigorous pumping, freshly charged battery and bingo we're off and running ! Sun is shining too so good luck Terry. Thank you all for help in this.

Mechanical pump Terry. I will have another look at the problem tomorrow when the weather is kinder - good luck to you as well ! Pressure building as the MOT is booked for this Friday.
