Hello my names Tom Flanagan from Basingstoke, I'm new to the club.
recently bought a 1987-88 sj413.
Few little things, you may have heard this a million times but I have quite a loud whining noise coming from what sounds to me to be the gear box. I get this from when the clutch is in there is no noise then when engaged and accelerating its gets louder. Also the higher gear I go the more whinier it gets, any solutions ?
Plus my vacuum gauge on the dash when driving says poor. And the car struggles to get past 50. I have read a few sites and post and gather it's all the hoses to do with my carb etc. Is there anywhere that do a complete hose kit ? Or is it just find some hose and scissors and crack on ? Or is it something else that can cause this ?

Cheers for reading and I look forward to being part of the community
