Hi all
I have just discovered one of my struts is weeping, so need replacing.
Are gas filled inserts worth the extra cost ? They are at least double the cost of oil filled.
Would like some opinions before I buy, thanks in advance

Re: Hand brake adjustment
Hi all
Handbrake now sorted.
I think the problem was caused by a slightly damaged self adjusting ratchet, replaced this part, cleaned everything and now working perfectly.
Can't post a picture as I can't make it small enough!
thanks for all the advice
cheers

Re: Poor running - wrong coil?
Hi all
Reading this thread with interest as I have the same set up as Joe. I have had the annoying misfire despite new plug leads, rebuilt dizzy, red rotar arm, rebuilt cylinder head. How do I bypass the ballast? Where is it located?
Thank you in advance

Differentail clonk
Hi all
Got a clonking diff when pulling away.
I can feel a fair bit of play on the back wheels when jacked up off the ground. The diff otherwise runs quietly.
Is this a diy fix ?
Any advice gratfully received

Re: is PAS worth while?
Hi all
I converted my 2500 some years ago and have never looked back.
Quite a lot of work, but well worth the effort.
