My '85 Jap 410 already has a 1.3 5spd in it, so not totally original anyway. So I got to thinking maybe a Vit 1.6. First thing is there are 8v and 16v Vit engines around and also maybe carb and F/I variants. I'm actually quite happy with a well-sorted carb set-up (got SU on at moment) but what is re...

my winders are Ok Donkey - it's the channel that bolts along top that I need one of - it's not mounted on the winder in your pic. I'll try India Maruti I think and it might be the one in the door coming off is Ok.

thanks all - I'll be up your way again soon Steve, put it aside please, and I may nick that tailgate off you also. Id Donkey has one please pm as I could maybe do with one each side anyway.
many thanks

Drop the clutch and freewheel, all is calm, noise ...

Hi, welcome etc!! My only advice would be really try and be patient. The odds of the first one you see being the right or best one are almost nil. I know this because....?? Patience will pay big rewards in terms of the value you get, and if you have looked at a few you'll soon know the good uns. Bro...

excellent 410 - you did very well indeed finding that I think. Keep it nice then And in the UK !!

Technical question - is that a poppy on the front bumper? Someone will bite your hand off for that ;) I realise you are passing this on, but before the proud new owner does a clutch check the cable and adjust or replace - I put a new clutch in mine recently cos the old was high so I assumed - and th...
