My Mark 2 has been in storage, I have done a couple of jobs but there are some I would leave to a garage. So I’m looking for recommendations in the Kent area. If you know of a particular place that you felt could be useful I should be most appreciated.

Can anyone recommend a good garage for servicing and general work in the Essex, Kent area

I have not had any opportunity to use my Mark 2 for some time and lacking a trickle charger to keep the battery charged I have now got the battery charging. I would like some feedback regarding a good source for a replacement. From what I’ve seen there are two ways of approaching this, one is the “l...

Hello I own a 1966 MK2 and have recently got it back from “restoration “ you may gather from the quotation mark all is not well. I’m not inclined to go back to where it worked on before, so I’m looking for a good garage in the Kent area, your recommendation would be most appreciated

Many thanks to webman for producing he photos, as you can see there is a marked difference between the two PAS drives that mate with the pump.After speaking with David Manners today, my only option is to send them both dynamos and they will refurbish my old one as there are none available to swap wi...

Well now that the dust has settled the drive on both of the dynamos is different, with the old measuring 10mm and the replacement being 5mm I have taken photos and e-mailed David Manners although their e-mail does not appear to have the facility to attach photos. Let's what that brings

Hello Dear Readers Well things have changed after thinking that the voltage regulator was at fault I noticed at tick over the dynamo pulley was not moving a loose belt maybe, so I adjusted the belt up and turned on the engine. At tickover with the wheels straight ahead all was well, but as soon as I...

When I took the dynamo off with the power steering pump, I detached the pump and inside there was covering of red dust. So I thought that instead of replacing just the brushes,let's push the boat out and replace the dynamo. After two days of BST(blood sweat&tears) the situation is that the ignition ...

Many thanks for the suggestions, I will try them this week and report back with my results. This could prove useful for someone else. Thanks again.

Best Wishes

red charge light stays on even when driving at 30 mph, but not every time glows very bright on tick over and will not go out. the car has an automatic belt tensioner, do these work? orshould you stil tighten the fan belt. Does this point to new brushes required or a voltage box problem. I do not own...

At last! I finally completed the job yesterdaythere was the inevitable one stud that would not move, but using my secret weapon of lashings of plus gas and my Irwin stud remover it gave up the ghost. Watjag kindly sent some replacement cross headed screws and studs,I attached the servo to the shroud...

Just noticed the subject is "Servo Replement"! Still it got a few views! I will remember this if I ever have trouble with the clotch or the badywork not to mention the alactricals

Many thanks for your reply, I believe that the three longer studs on the servo unit are also part of the attachment of the servo to the wheel arch.With your help and what I now know, I hope to have the new unit on this week end (weather permitting)


Regards Alan

Can you please advise the removal sequence for a servo on the Mark 2. Most of the connections are off but the hydraulic connection on the top at the front of the unit, next to the larger atmosphere connection is partially obscured by the wheelarch. Can you remove the shroud from the wheel arch?

Hello David
Just going for the day, I think, although a stop over would be nice. If the situation changes, I will certainly be in touch
