    Losing power going uphill

    Hi Ozziedog, do you know if there are any known issues with ICT34s? When thinking about it, whenever I’m going uphill, for example a slight incline with speed bumps at 5mph in 2nd sounds like the engine is choking. Hill starts cough and splutter and then motorways approach a long hill and...

    Losing power going uphill

    Hi I’m having issues with power. Fine on flat but when I get to hills it really loses power. On steep hills dropping to 2nd. Then I get a petrol smell. Sounds a bit clackety as well. Could this be a compression issue with a cylinder head gasket? Running twin ICT34 Webbers on a 1776. Would...

    Swing out Cooker and buddy seat wanted

    I have an original wooden buddy seat. Text me your email 07980 787190 and I will send photos. It's one of the one that you can remove the back rest. I do have cushions as well but a bit tatty. We do come down to Devon but not planning anything for a while so not sure how I would get it to you

    Drop Spindles

    I had exactly same issue. Had to change front tyres to 175/65 and had stops slightly adj to stop rub on full lock. All works fine now. Kept the larger tyres on the back..they were fine. It does seem none of the wheel suppliers has a Scooby about this and they should really give a little guidance

    What size tyres and wheels?

    Just had replica Fooks from VW Heritage fitted with dropped spindles. Had to have 185/65 R15 on the front otherwise the tyres rub. Be carefully as the new wheels stick out further and any larger tyres can catch your arches. Also when on full lock they can rub so you may need I your stops...
