Apparently he can cure clutch judder even on a 75 with just 4k on the clock, with his flywheel skim. "Done loads" he says. http://forums.mg-rover.org/showthread.php?t=149240 I'd like to see him open the VDO pump and replace the brushes or repair a worn commutator segment! Notice he doesn't say how he fixes them. More likley, he'll bypass it and let the under bonnet pump do all the work (until it gives up). Ron

can repair them on the car buddy 50 quid to make it run again
I was tempted to reply to his comment of "can repair them on the car buddy 50 quid to make it run again".
I'd love to know what the fix is? |

I'm surprised .org haven't given him a health warning or had a 'chat'. It sounds quite dangerous to me. I will let a mod there know, just in case Mike

Of course we don't know the particular advantages of the "Car Buddy 50" over the previous 49 model. Perhaps it's heavier with a better grip handle

I think he is just a budding tech looking for some weekend work
Book, covers, and all that, he will probably be here soon so lets not beat him up till he has had the chance to prove himself. After all I don't have a clue what I am doing either yet I can pull "sealed" rad fans apart and get a good few more miles out of them can't I Unless you drop the one you are working on that is |

Ron,
Have you pulled your old tank pump to bits yet? ... would be very interested in your findings |

The pump itselt could be replaced if we could get hold of them. I couldn't find them on VDOs website when I entered the psrt no. off the pump. Its not repairable as its held together by the outer can being crimped over at the ends. I haven't prised it apart yet to find the fault, might get time this weekend. Ron

I can hear it now.
"Sorry guv' this ones too far gone have to fit a new one, that'll be 50 squids for the diagnosis and", you know the rest. Or conversely, a few squirts of WD40 and Bobs your mothers brother. Cynical? Moi? |
