    oil fouled plugs

    Check the float levels at both front and rear bowls by removing the flat brass screw on the side of the bowl with car on flat level ground. If gas rushes out or is not oosing out when you rock the car a little, then they are off. This will make it run rough and foul the plugs as described.

    Air Con: To fit or not to fit, opinions please.

    The greenhouse effect is the biggest factor. Walk up to the car even on a mild sunny day and open the door and slip in. You will be sweating in short order. My a/c went inop the first of this summer. I had a few events to do before getting it fixed/recharged and removed the side windows to...

    ZF Fluid level??

    When I first got my CAV it had some drips from the right out-put seal. I needed to check fluid levels. I did a search and got multiple different answers. I called RBT and got transferred to Lloyd the owner of RBT. Lloyd said to use "NO" additives at all! Amsoil is "Snake oil" IMO, so...

    RBT difficult shifting into reverse

    Butter! Mine shifts like butter now. It's all in the finite adjustments both in the cables, linkage at the far end cable attachments, and also in the shifter box linkage where I found the main cross bolt had backed out a bit. It took about 3 hours of dinken around to get the right combination...
