Re: Clutch slave cylinder- delay in retracting

Hello,
I have had this very problem, I even changed the clutch, no fix. The problem turned out to be the rubber hose which connects the slave to the hard pipe from the master cylinder. The rubber hose swells and reduces the return flow.

I'm sorry to hear this sad news, I have one of his 1 7/8" systems. Ian was always helpful when discussing my various requirements.

Looking for a wheel builder.

Hello, I've been cleaning the wire wheels on my S2 and found a couple of wheels need a few spokes replacing. Does anyone know of a wheel builder in the Cheshire area would be ideal.

Thanks,
Dave

Fuse ratings?

Hello, I've checked the tech library but couldn't find the info telling me what the fuse ratings are for each of the fuses in the fuse box. Anyone know the ratings 1 - 8 fuses?

Thanks.

Air conditioning service?

Hello, I have a/c fitted in my S2 FHC and I would like to have it checked over to see if it is viable to get it working or just remove the system. Anyone know a technician based near J17 M6 Cheshire who I can contact?

TIA.

Removing the rear side marker lights

I'm looking to remove the rear marker light on my american s2 FHC and wonder if anyone knows of a supplier of blanking plates to fill the holes left after the lights are removed?

TIA,

Re: Car documentation when Buying in US

All you need is the title and bill of sale. Its easy to import from the US. If the car is over 30 years old and has been used on the road, there will be a tax receipt which will contain all the details of the vehicle. Example attached.

The final step is to remove the series 2 tailpipes and replace with the series 1 pipes.
Thank you for the info.

I already have the S1 pipes, also have the MGB lamps. Just need winter to turn up now.
