I think you need to revert your rear suspension to standard and work out what is causing the odd tyre wear!!! I suspect iffy rear alignment and dodgy shocks. The alignment has ripped the inner edges off and the socks are causing the bald patches if I remember my '70's public information films correctly.

Fix the fuel vapourization problem.... our water cooling system for the fuel pump helped but dont think its along term solution as you need a very co operative passenger and a supply of water! "Little Red", 13/60 Herald convertible with 1500 engine and O/D, (2007 10CR, 1/2 2009 10CR and 1 RBRR). March 2013 Back from darkest Norfolk and now very shiny.... 2017 rust coming thru again. 2018 Rebuilt engine and gearbox and now fully Megasquirt'ed and much fun to drive! |

I wonder if the crappy and expensive european petrol has been clearing crud off from inside our fuel tanks? Hmmmn. Drained the original tank that had been pluggeed to accomodate the `new` tank and all the fuel was blue in colour ?? PUBLIC RELATIONS and ADVERTISING OFFICER
