It doesn't affect the fanhousing, but the thicker pump makes you ask the question Different pumps have different sized galleries, so you need to keep an eye on whether the galleries align between case & pump & on the sizes of galleries Big galleries on pump/small on case would give you stonking oil ...

Were Barry & Rich overseeing the build?
Just wondering if anyone checked that the oil galleries in pump/case lined up ok?

Can't be... the engine support bar goes over the oil pump nuts
Look at the support bar/ heat exchanger area

I should really have said Fan!

It needs to sit right in its position- you might have it caught up on something

Fanhousing should be vertical, so check it's not at a funny angle

then loosen the pinch bolt on the linkage

And by the way, Your lovely new dissy clamp looks good, but it needs to be under the dissy, not resting on the block as it was in yesterdays photo!

I would suspect that the rear of the fan shroud isn't properly seated & that You've set the relay lever/thermostat linkage in the wrong position?
Whip the impeller off & the head tin on 1 & 2, slacken the pinch bolt on the linkage, then loosen the back of the housing & give it a wiggle

Sorry it's taken me so long to get to this guys! Massive thanks to all that came down- We had a highly successful weekend, to the extent that most of it now fits inside one side of the garage! I had a bit of a brainwave on Saturday night, that resulted in one representative of each club being invite...

Don't dismantle the calipers Graham.. All the advice I've ever seen was that You shouldn't, & I've certainly never seen a Torque figure published

Type 3's do tend to be a pain to bleed, Graham, so You're not the first to encounter problems! You'll forgive me for raising these points? Shoes adjusted? pushrod adjustment checked? (freeplay) New components compared to old? New brake fluid? What kind of quantity of fluid have You pulled through? A...

Theres a nicer fuel filler in Your Heap Dave!
Is it worth saving the lenses off headlights even if reflectors are knackered?

if you have an idle moment Dave, post a pic of fuel pipe!
Seats look like they're sold unfortunately, but I've told the guy you want the cables out of His old ones
I found a clutch cyl & it's destined to stow away in Broadys car.
Have a shufti too at the gearbox in pics & tell me?

there is/was someone knocking them out years ago

And its not uncommon to take a grinder to a 3 bolt door, thus making it a 2 bolt

There aren't Lukeyoung, but bath can be a perfectly romantic day out!

Bath City Centre has excellent shopping, Fine dining establishments, and ample opportunities for a bit of culture/History etc, if You need to distract or compensate Her Oldtimer…

Where are You Park83?

You'll need to be armed with dimensions-length, width, internal width, shape etc...

yes & no! It's like the case of the bloke who said he wants everything type 34 & is now throwing his toys out of the pram... it's not possible to separate all the type 4 parts out..theres approx. 200 boxes, and some parts are shared between different models. When did You last see type 4 parts for sa...

£20 for the sill?? please get the money to Broady! If that's too much, give him a budget & We'll make sure it gets to you (as long as its not really silly!)
The rest of You, please get your money to broady- it's not fair to expect him to pay for it all

there's a used one I know of & I think there might be a nos one.. 1 or both will head in Your direction on Saturday
If that fails, a quick call to Dave is likely to yield results!

I've omitted to tell you all about the nos eberspacher glow plug( make me a silly offer!) & there's 1, round clutch cylinder probably unused (its going in Broadys car, you lot can figure it out between you!) Theres also a gearbox, but it's been so long, I can't say for certain what it is.-see pics- ...

Thanks Broady! If anyone knows anyone who might be interested, please spread the word ! If nothing else, it's going to be free entertainment watching the type 34 brigade all trying to get their mitts on the same things! I will not enter into bidding wars.. prices are what I say they are, but I'm ope...

Bad/good news I'm afraid chaps!

I'm sorry if You feel I've misled you with offers of freebies, but as no-one was particularly jumping at the idea, I needed to get word out to a wider audience/ I can't remember if we did the chucking bits in your car routine on Dave when He came down, but we certainly did with Kieron & Shaun. in th...

Side markers are going to be £10 with lens, £5 without. Sparkywig & Broady have first dibs on them. I've found a local type 4 who is coming, so if You guys want stuff, you need to make sure Broady knows( He can then let me know via facebook) & I'd suggest You ensure He has the money in advance, so t...
