Always worried when main jet is lower than OEM. You need to run rich at high rpm as fuel cools the engine just saying...

If you are running the latest, I would check the plug colour after a 50 mile motorway drive, as it could be too lean??

Mark I have just done this sh1..Y job! I fond the inner bushes a challenge. Maybe because I bought Marks hard version.

The outers are all down to careful alignment with both wishbone allowed to lay at the same angle (my struts were off). Even so I needed an 8mm pry par to line up the hole, a g clamp to squeeze the u bracket down and a large pipe wrench to squeeze the u clamp together and then the bolt would do up (I decided to do the first bolt down quite hard after doing various permutations....

I am glad I dont have to think about it again....

Good choice with the R-Tech. It is soo much better than the Clarke/Machine Mart items. Mine has let me get away with welds that would be impossible. Always check your settings on test pieces before doing real work. Thicker stuff is easier than thin for learning on.

Thanks for the advice. The welder was recommended to me by a friend. I was looking at cheaper used items but artery were at resto show with a special offer on so took advantage of that albeit with the gas I am into it now for £1000k  I do wonder how much I am saving over paying someone to come round and sort it out but hey ho.

I will look at that again Eric.  One end bush is not quite right but after 4 hours I wanted to go in a cry...

I have used a RS on the back, but couldnt figure out the front application.

Thank you so much

Electrical / rear window heater Beta Berlina 2000 1979.

How is the exact working of the rear window heater switch? When switching on the ignition (no start) it is ready to work or only by running the car?
