Early 2.0 carb cylinder head on ebay

[Doctordiesel77]

It has been there a while, so I guess seller will be open to offers, it is an early one with mechanical pump, but I guess it could be used on a later engine if you blanked the pump hole off. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/375529945521

There are no wires, it is operated by manifold vacum and opens a valve between the two ports on the carb if vacum is high......

The next show on the list is Wassand Hall on Sunday May 25th, entries close on Sunday 18th. Entry form is on here https://necpwa.org/page.php?id=54 . This Esso service station just off the A1035 / A165 roundabout looks like a good meeting point, 11 o'clock should be early enough, as the show gates don't...

Welcome to the forum, there are fewer Montegos than Maestros around, but decent ones do appear sometimes. If you use facebook it would be worth keeping an eye on the owner's club facebook group...good luck!

I will be adding to this, but the first one I've found is that the diff bearings in all of the VW gearboxes (4speed, 5 speed and automatic) Rover part number BAU 2570, bearing manufacturer's part number LM29749 / LM29710, is the same as a Freelander 1 rear diff bearing (to vin 2A374724) part number...

If he can get hold of front struts I'm sure that there will be someone that would do him a deal with cash going his way? It seems as though postage from China to here is much more reasonable that from here to China (I've bought inverters from China that would cost more to send back than the total purchase...

Saltburn is a 'just turn up one' and is free, which is a bonus, I'll put details on here closer to the time. The plan for Tadcaster is to meet up in the eastbound layby on the A64 that is just west of the roundabout at about 9 o'clock, there is a gap in the central reservation so those of us coming...

Almost there, electrical faults sound pretty minor anyway, which is a change from some of the other surprises along the way!

Cheers, I've corrected the date. Yes, was a very good day at POL (bit of a long day by the time I got back!) sorry I missed you, it might have been when I went for a stroll up the hill to admire the mass of cars. Hopefully catch up at some of the other shows ...

Strange, there is no ballast resistor and the starter and ignition circuits shouldn't be connected (other than both being operated by the ignition switch!). If you connect a live wire from the battery to the white wire on the + side of the coil it should turn the ignition on/ make it keep running. Be...

As far as I remember the spindle assembly is the same, but the drive link/motor is very different....

If you check fuel & it is ok, do the ignition/oil lights come on when engine stops? if not, then it may be that the ignition switch is gummed up due to lack of use, switching it on and off a few times might clean it up....
