It was meterman's old 1.7.
Fault is apparent whichever propshaft has been removed, which would point towards the t/box area. I'm still thinking of the intermediate shaft assembly.

Not with the starter solenoid. It wouldn't turn over if that was faulty. Presuming the fuel pump is ok, did you retain any of the carb solenoids when you tried the other one? I'm wondering about the ...

The ones you'll get over here were all undersealed on entry to the UK, in addition to the coating put on at the factory. Theoretically, they were also inspected / treated annually for six years, but t ...

Same checks as you would have done with the MG. Sills, wings (inner and outer), chassis rails underneath etc. They're no more prone to problems here than others, but can suffer after years of use!

Best source of parts is Neil, the owner of this site. He posts out to you, and delivery times are very short. Not like main dealers of other marques!

Hi Greg,
On here and E-Bay is as good a place as any to start looking. A decent one will cost in the region of £500 to £600. Reliability depends on maintenance, but they are inherently s ...

Apparently the front diff came out to be checked over as part of the axle checks / repairs, and is ok. I was wondering about a similar fault in the g/box or t/box, but was hoping for folks with a bett ...

Matt has recently had another problem with his Niva. The front stub axle assembly is sorted, but the following came on suddenly, after the vehicle had been driven without issue for quite a few miles. ...

Remember, when fitting a wedge lift (or similar design) at the front, the presumption is that the anti-roll bar MUST be removed. This is because of the ...

With LF 6.5mm and LR 15.5mm you stand a better than average chance of having steering that's heavy to the left, i.e. when turning right. This arrangement leans the kingpin inclination (caster angle) f ...

It's not really a problem. There are two schools of thought on this. One says that you should stop all ingress of water, then remove bungs to drain out what gets in, when it does! The other says it's ...

You will have a smaller rolling radius, but the width is the main thing. We regularly run 205 tyres on 16" rims, so 195 will not be a problem. Bear in mind the 16" rims should have tubes fit ...
