My 1600 single port recon engine has done about 6k miles. Just done oil change and fitted vdo oil temp gauge and sump sender. Went for a 60 mile drive today and the gauge only got up to about 55 deg C. Same on return journey. Only went 45-50 mph. Engine compartment not hot and side vents hardly...

Not for the purist but great for storing my fishing rods in. Last year the Gendarmerie and Caribineiri were initially confused but good humoured. Looks even better when the top goes up in to firing position. 😜 Nb. Perhaps shouldn't be in technical forum ?

I want to fit a temp gauge to my 1600 stock engine. I have looked at all ( I think ) of the options. What would you recommend for the sender, sump (photo) or dipstick type ...or I think it can go in the side of the engine where the blue wire is on the attached photo. This last alternative I am...

Doing some adjustments and noticed that there is ( or should be ) a retaining clip to hold the front of the roof down. I have the part attached to the metal van roof but the part riveted to the fibreglass roof is missing. I have searched everywhere but can't find any info. Does anybody have a...
