Cheers mate, emailed that one but haven't had a reply yet

Managed to track down a replacement one from a (fairly) local breakers



It's got one sensor missing but I was hoping to swap the one out of my original one...



That didn't work

[The Milkman]

Thanks to some help from a few guys on here, I've found out that the two sensors are for the autochoke and manifold preheating. My car has a Weber replacement carb with a manual choke!

After a bit of googling and reading through Haynes, it would appear that the grey sensor is for the autochoke, so I can do without that one. I'm going to try the 'new' one but not bother wiring the red sensor (preheating) and see how it goes

[The Milkman]

Bought one of these from Euros to replace the corroded bit, unfortunately it was a bit too short, so I fitted the one I got from the breakers and didn't wire up the sensor. Seems to be working ok (now I've bled all the air out the system!)

Gave the boot and rear arches a clean.

After a wash, de-grease and another wash.

[The Milkman]

A coat of Auto Glym super resin polish

That's tidy.

[The Milkman]

That's tidy.

Thanks, getting there slowly

[The Milkman]

Carried on going under the rear seat. Loads of dirt, twigs and hair to get rid of.

[The Milkman]

Usual treatment, wash, de-grease, another wash and a coat of super resin.
