carb flange.. rock the carb and look at the rubber mounting... yours is split... 15 quid on ebay and 30mins unbolting.. you will need a new gasket

update... i drove to Croatia and back on this set up over 10days... clocked 124mph gps on the autobahn - sounded like it needed more fueling at top end so i have bought a booster pump and regulator... 2500miles later i did some calculations and I am getting 24mpg... oops

Now with photo

Pic of car in primer for the trip with my son.. bear in mind it was saved from the scrap yard !

Hey so we are heading to Croatia from Bristol and started to have gearbox issues. Lightly noisy/light whine gearbox and jumps out of 5th gear. Given its Sunday (France shuts on sundays) all I could get was some 15/40 to top up the oil by taking speedo off gearbox). Its not jumping out now but my que...

Hi - so one of my plugs(offside) has sprung a hole any hints or tips how to replace including how to get the old one out and how much i need to disassemble to do a decent job. Im driving to croatia in the summer ands its going to be 40c plus so i need everything sorted. Btw im in Bristol if anyone w...

Just to say, Ive just had a good experience with a 38dgas. minor issue with butterfly not sealing on throttle but easy to sort out... and about £300 cheaper than a real deal weber... a lot of 'genuine' webers were poorly made. I would say that it seems to be made out of a different alloy mix.. so as...
