Morning Guys, I was adjusting the tappets the other day - 1 and 2 cylinders ok, but when I got to number 3 I saw that the valve guide was moving up and down with the valve! I realise this will need replacing but would it need an oversized guide or is it a more common problem which just requires...

Evening Guys, I have a dilema. In 2004 I paid to have Cavity Wall Insulation in my house. It was one of the first discounted schemes whereby I, the Energy supplier and the Government each paid a third of the cost. Fast forward to the end of last year when I decide to replace the old ventilation...

Ok Guys, You know best so here goes. What is the difference between 36 and 40 idf's? I understand that they both have 40mm throttles so why can't I fit 32mm vents and use them on a bigger engine? Regards, Si

Hi everyone, I'm just about to clean up my 36 idf's and need to remove the chokes. On the larger idf's they are held in place with a lock screw and nut, but can't see anything similar on these. Anybody know how they come out? :oops: Regards, Si

Due to a re-think on my engine plans my pair of genuine Italian weber 36 idf's are up for a swop. I bought these about 2 years ago, partially stripped and they have remained that way and sat in WD40 ever since. I paid £130 for them, but looking to swop, so what's on offer? Regards, Si
