Re: Tatton Park Roaring success
Hi, great turn out and lovely day. This show never ceases to impress. Bonus for me I managed to sell my 411. I was parked in the for sale paddock. Now Dubless, will be looking out for the next project!

Re: Any suggestions to what's causing a bad misfire?
If you have not run the vehicle prior to driving to Stanford hall you may of sucked up some grunge from the tank. I’m guessing that could be a big job to clear!

Re: Any suggestions to what's causing a bad misfire?
Seems you have covered all the basis already. Nothing more annoying I have been in your shoes many times. I’m no mechanic but have a thought, could it be the fuel tank breather clogged? This would result in vacuuming. Worth a check.

Tatton Park Roaring success
Tatton park Sunday 1/8/21 great day close to a 1000 cars on display thousands of peeps having a fun day in the sun.
A roaring success for me because I sold my 1965 bug. Didn’t manage to speak to any members to busy with my sales pitch, maybe another time. Rob

VW show Tatton park
Just booked my ticket for Tatton park. The event is on Sunday 01/08/21. Bookings only no paying at the gate. If the event is cancelled the ticket will be rolled over for 2022. Fingers crossed all will be well. Hoping to see some members there.

Re: 411 brake callipers
Cheers Steve, I bought a re build kit from brake parts but didn’t need to strip the callipers. Just removing the brake pads and spraying plenty of brake cleaner and gently depressing the brake pedal and forcing the pistons back has done the trick. No sticking on now. However the perished outer seal ...

411 brake callipers
411 brake callipers, can anyone tell me whether these callipers are fitted to other VW ie bay window camper vans etc. May be needing a couple soon for my 1972 411. Outer seals have perished. Any pointer much appreciated.

Wow!! I knew most cities and large towns were heading for LEZ zones, but I thought that was another way for them to empty your bank account. This is serious I’m getting on it.

Re: Ignition fault or vacuum?
The vacuum unit was new, the major problem was an injector was hit and miss I replaced it with one I got off you, cured the running and idle speed with finer adjustment of the throttle valve. All good now.

Re: Vintage Voltage
One other thing regarding electric you lose your historic status. I’m assuming road tax would be nil anyway but you would be looking at MOT for sure. Can’t remember where I read that but I didn’t dream it.

Re: 411 LE, parts to be saved, act quickly
Hi David good find, I’m guessing the obvious stuff would be light clusters they look reasonable, clocks switches wiper arms wouldn’t take up a lot of room. At this point I would say I’m interested but not desperate. Far better these parts went to someone who is mid build I would be wanting them for ...

Re: 411 petrol flap
Hi the cable moves freely, the issue is the articulating piece on the cable end. It needs adjustment to line it up more with the rigid section if that makes sense.

Re: 411 petrol flap
Before I rip the carpet off the bulkhead where the pull cable passes through is there an adjustment to the cable at that point?
