We have this already

....and unlike farcebook or faceache whatever it is called we can also give a friendly

I have made contact with the owner and am just awaiting contact details to arrange collection. It's quite close to me.

I thought it important to save it, even though I have a bit of a storage problem. When I have collected it on the trailer I'll upload some pictures and see what others think.

Keep the mag stored safely.......... so you can look back in a few years time and see how young toy used to be

It does make you think about the actual knowledge of journalists sometimes doesn't it

Can't be far away now

No there is no adjustment at that end, it's a fixed length cable with an adjustable mounting position on the wing.

If it makes you feel better I have the same issue on my 412LS, but I think the pawl is badly worn. Yous used to work OK, so it can only be adjustment.

Should be nice

Is the deed done, or are you about to have an intense period of polishing and shining in advance of the photographer turning up ?

I had a car featured in a magazine back in 2001, I wonder how much longer these magazines are going to survive ?

It's a fiddly adjustment, especially when the moving finger is worn

I can't remember which way it goes, but it does only go one way

Nope, I can't see the join

Are these but welded, or are you making a lip and welding from the rear as well ?

Welcome !

Looks like a good job you are doing there. How long has it taken so far ?

You've used the search function haven't you.......... I couldn't find the thread either.

Send a PM to Broady - he did something in the end I think

Sounds like an interesting diagnostic approach...... but more progress made.

It's the only way, one by one eliminate the problems until your have none left. Sometimes you have to make things worse to get to the root of a problem too.

That's a good recommendation to the "snail"

Oh, I'm sorry Broady I really can't let that one go. The original series was not a cartoon, it was Supermarionation, puppets on strings, not involving Sandie Shaw. If you have ever watched Stargate this particular segment, as a tribute to Thunderbirds, has a hilarious ending https://www.youtube.com/...

When are you putting the other T3 into the bodyshop, I thought so on the earlier picture, but now with the full image I'm quite sure that's not the right colour :lol: Unless the modern film decided the colours should be more primary for the benefit of todays audience The 3 is not aligned properly ei...

I only had Thunderbird 3

I also had Chitty Chitty Bang Bang ...... occupants lost, I think the Child Catcher got revenge

My toy collection is bigger these days, as I think it is for all on here

I used to have Thunderbird 3

Nice to see her in use.

Are you making rockets now (big red ones)

Yeah, water ingress is a foreign country for us guys, but it'll be like carb pre-heating or oil cooler / warmers on modern cars, the coolant acts to provide the heat rather than electricity. In that section I think he is showing pictures on MB parts. Sounds like a plan, if you can get them moving fr...

a quick google gets this

So maybe the piston is just stuck. I would be tempted to fill spray some plus gas or diesel in there and leave it to dissolve whatever may be causing it to stick

Auxiliary air valve lets additional air in when the engine is cold, to go with the additional petrol to overcome higher friction. If it isn't closing , then it's like the idle bypass is wide open, so high tickover. The heating element (I think yours should have this) should have about 12.5 ohms resi...

I wouldn't go for copper, never sure where all those particles will end up, especially on a FI engine.

I have seen this a couple of times, I think I just put some engine oil on the filler cap and neck and rubbed it in. Massage for your fuel filler

I have bought from The Samba in the US before. Absolutely no problems, it's a VW forum like this one, except a lot bigger, not generally infested by sharks. Used ones from $16.50 ?? Pay by Paypal and you'll have protection anyway. There's a whole lot more money and pain involved in a carb conversion...

Loads of choice here, from $16.50 unknown to $100 NOS, plus the shipping cost.

No excuses left at all now
