Steering Box seal

Hello, I need a new oilseal for the bottom of my steering box where the shaft comes out, I've had a look in the parts list but can't find any parts listed for the box.

Thanks

Rob.

Thanks Scottie, I've sorted all the oil leaks and currently putting the engine back in.

Samurai 1298 & 1324 engine differences ?

Hello, I've got my Samurai engine out to fix some oil leaks and I'm having problems getting parts from my local Motor Factor, mine is a G13BA (1298) and was wondering what apart from the obvious CC's is the difference with the 1324 engine. I'm changing F & R crank seals, cam seal, timing belt, f...

Re: Which zener diode

I thought wiring the HP lights through a relay would be sufficient to avoid melting anything.

Re: Temp sender reading too high

Gave up on trying to make the temp gauge work and did this instead to go along with the OP gauge and clock I had been wanting to fit.

Pretty standard apart from a Weber carb, gentle restoration in progress - still requires speedo worm and a couple of oilseals.

Re: Temp sender reading too high

Yes, I see how my theory is flawed however it irritates me looking at the gauge right up in the red (orange) . I will get some readings at the weekend including the resistance when the sender is placed in boiling water and hopefully the gauge will become more useful ( reading normal at normal and re...

Re: Temp sender reading too high

t2.JPG I've got the gauge reading to roughly normal by fitting a variable resistor from a light dimmer and adjusting. I will take some readings at the weekend and calculate what resistor will be required to correct the gauge, I will post the Maplin part number on here when I have it sorted. Then ho...

Re: Temp sender reading too high

Yes, spanish , so it sounds like a common problem. A mate who works in a car spares shop has a few 'new old stock' items which he has saved over the years , he is going to give me them to try so if I have any success I'll let you know. Cheers. I did a bodge repair by wiring in two very small dash bu...

Temp sender reading too high

The temp gauge goes to the top when the engine warms up, I'm sure it's not actually overheating and I think the cause is incorrect sender, however I have tried a couple of replacements and they do exactly the same, I have tried an Intermotor 52545 and a Cambiare VE 718026 both have a black collar. H...
