#1 Stay Up Float Kits

Post by christopher storey » Wed Nov 01, 2017 5:43 pm

Has anyone tried these ? I am a bit puzzled by the reference on the Burlen website to the "easily adjustable float level" and wonder what this consists of .

The reason I ask is that on my Mark 2 I have been having flooding, and on looking at the floats, I find that 1 is leaking with multiple vertical cracks ( only detectable under highish magnification ) . Very strange, and not something I have ever seen before

I've used the nitrophyl plastic floats on a couple of cars. The advantage is that they can't leak.
Not sure if this is the same thing.

Just to say that I now have installed these, and they seem to work very well indeed . They are priced about 30% above brass floats ( and at my age are probably not worth the extra :bigrin: :bigrin: ) but they have an indestructible feel to them . First class service from Burlen, BTW : ordered on Wednesday evening , and delivered to me Friday 930 am
