Androo

Thank you for that

Is it complete?

Came across this spare part in my box of spares. I know what it;s for. Just need to know the correct part name and, is it complete? ie: washers missing etc.... Thanks

Many thanks

Just need to know if I can mix a 110ah with a 135ah battery in my bank and charge them with a Waeco Multistage 45 amp charger without any issues? They are both wet cell batteries.

Can someone help me out with a question regards the 'Topic Title'. I was led to believe, that all Trad Sterns access from the Counter, was off set to the right.I have now been informed that there are Trads with access straight down the middle without having to step down to the right and pass through a door to the bedroom, (conventional layout). I can't find any info or, photos to prove this. I thought all Trad designs were the off set type having to step to the right etc...

Firstly, what type of stove do you have? This is my set up. When it's windy I just close the bottom and top wheels accordingly.

many thanks

Can anyone tell me what the approx horse power would be for my BMC Thornycroft 1500 ? Thank you

Yes. When I clean the stove I always remove the baffle plate and scrape it well.

Chimney/Flue clean. From what folks are saying then, it could be damp coal. I will try and dry it out before banking up for the night

Don't know if anyone else is experiencing this problem but here goes: I have a Morso Squirrel 1440 which has an air vent wheel on each door. Last year it was a simple process of banking up the fire so it would burn all through the night by leaving both wheels open between 1/4 and 1/2 turn on each wheel. Doing so the stove would slow burn and still be lit the following morning. This year for some reason, following the same proceedure as above the fire will not stay in! The inside of the fire has been cleaned and all vents and, chimney flue are clean and free of any obstructions. The coal I use is 'PURE HEAT' and I purchase from the same outlet and I have never had this problem before. If the fire is fine then I can only put it down to the coal. Is it possible that this batch of PURE HEAT has some kind of fault? Regards

Sender is on opposite side to lift pump. There was a small oil leak on the pump/block gasket and also a fuel leak on the body of the pump, (a hairline fracture) which caused a few litres of diesel underneath my engine. None has gone in the sump as the level has not risen at all. I use engine oil 20w/50 Multigrade API SE/CC Specification which was last changed 10mths ago. The present oil has done less than 100hrs

I can't remember off hand but, I don't think so..... I'll take a look asap.

There was a small oil leak from the gasket but surely this cannot affect the pressure so much....... can it ?

It has two scales: KG/CMS & PSI (see photo) I don't know what you mean by ' engine broken down' it, runs well. I read the PSI scale and like I mentioned, since fitting the new pump the PSI has gone up from 50PSI to the mark between 50/75 when engine just started. It then settles on the mark between 25/50 when warm.

I have noticed that since fitting the new lift pump the oil pressure gauge has gone up from 5 to 6 when engine cold.It settles at about 3 when warm. Is this normal ?

They supply via Ebay also: http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/m.html?item=370304485662&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_ssn=thornycroftengines&_pgn=2&_skc=50&rt=nc

You're welcome.

Do you drink the water from the tank or, is it just for showers/washing dishes etc...?

OK, the pump was exactly the same as the old one. I did have a few problems with leaking pipes etc... but that was my own fault for over tightening and squashing the olives! All seems good now. Thanks for any help offered Androo

Hopefully not as this supplier assures me it's the same as my old one. Just hope I am not eating my words tomorrow when I pick it up

OK, I have found a supplier who assures me that they have the exact type of pump I need so, there is no need to alter the piping thank goodness. £27.23 plus £4.95 P &P They deal in BMC & Thornycroft spares They are only 20mins from where I am would you believe! They only do mail order. I ordered it yesterday and it arrived today but I missed the post so I will pick up tomorrow. Here's the supplier details for anyone else who is in a situation similar to me regards unusual pumps etc... A.M.C Diesel Engineering Ltd in Longton, Preston A.M.C Diesel Engineering Ltd Address: Hall Lane Postcode: PR4 5ZD City/Town: Longton, Preston (Lancashire) Contact us: 01772 613003 I believe my type of pump was used on the vehicle below: The Hindustan Ambassador is a car manufactured by Hindustan Motors of India. It was in production from 1958 to 2014 with few improvements or changes and is based on the Morris Oxford III model, first made by the Morris Motors Limited at Cowley, Oxford in the United Kingdom from 1956 to 1959. Despite its British origins, the Ambassador is considered as a definitive Indian car and is fondly called "The king of Indian roads".[1] The automobile is manufactured by Hindustan Motors at its Uttarpara plant[2] near Kolkata, West Bengal. Some Indian politicians, such as Sonia Gandhi, use the Hindustan Ambassador.[3] As of 25 May 2014, the Hindustan Motors suspended the production of the Ambassador

The only gasket between the block and the pump was, a paper/card gasket no block gasket/insulator fitted.
