Ah well. I unscrewed the bung as directed and indeed some water came out.

Its as if there should be a shoulder inside there for the probe to fit against with the thre...

Cheers, just had a look at mine and I have a plug with a square hole in it round about there. Just unscrew that and screw in the probe?

Hi all,

I'm currently looking for a fingerbar mower to hang off the back of my Power Major if anyone has one they do not want??


Thanks!

Pity you aren't in Ireland, I'd swap you steel wheels for your four spokes if you fancied?

What he said ^

Is this what you wanted to show us?

Your casting codes work out to July 18 & 19 1963

Your engine number 08C is as you say 1963, but the number seems a little high? Are you sure its 08C967812 and not 08C867812?

I guess the clue is in the photo

Hence my reason for extending the centre tube and doing away with the lower element. I'll try a...
