This si one place you could have 'internal bleeding', with no outward signs. You would have fluid leaking into the vacuum chamber of the booster, if this were the case.

82. Re: Problem solved... now one more (score: 1): Author: JACranwell@cs.com; Date: Mon, 30 Apr 2001 07:04:50 EDT; Check that the anti-squeal shims are installs between the caliper pot and the brake pad. Also, anti-seize gease (copper) is a good idea on the retaining pins and the shims. Good luck, Julian.; /html/alpines/2001-04/msg00370.html (6,861 bytes)
83. Re: running in.. (score: 1): Author: JACranwell@cs.com; Date: Mon, 30 Apr 2001 07:22:41 EDT; My advice would be to keep below 4,000 RPM for the first 1,000 miles, and yes don't 'load' the engine by keeping the revs too low. Most important, re-torque the head after +/- 1,000 miles. Regards, J; /html/alpines/2001-04/msg00371.html (6,402 bytes)

Re: Differential Gear Check (score: 1): Author: JACranwell@cs.com; Date: Tue, 23 Jan 2001 14:39:50 EST; There's a useful section on this in the factory workshop manual on this, as well as a method for testing the 'pre-load' tension on the pinion. I can scan these for you, if needed. Julian Cranwell - S; /html/alpines/2001-01/msg00171.html (6,492 bytes)

(score: 1): Author: JACranwell@cs.com; Date: Fri, 26 Jan 2001 13:06:12 EST; Over in merry old England, we have an expression (possibly borrowed from elsewhere) which reads 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it!'.

86. Re: Europe Trip (score: 1): Author: JACranwell@cs.com; Date: Mon, 6 Nov 2000 07:58:51 EST; Less surprisingly, we had many German and Italian POW's in the UK. They were mostly put to work (paid) on the land, alongside the womens's land-army, which my mother was a member of. The interesting; /html/alpines/2000-11/msg00081.html (7,931 bytes)

Re: Europe Trip (score: 1): Author: JACranwell@cs.com; Date: Mon, 6 Nov 2000 08:05:55 EST; I have to confess to using mostly the fast lane on the Autobahns in Germany, as we are restricted to a legal max of 70mph here in the UK.

(score: 1): Author: JACranwell@cs.com; Date: Wed, 22 Nov 2000 09:01:53 EST; I paid your estimated value just to have my SIII body and chassis restored in the UK, and it is definitely not concours condition in other respects. So I'd say your valuation, if anything, is on the; /html/alpines/2000-11/msg00267.html (7,429 bytes)
89. Re: Tempreture Gauge (score: 1): Author: JACranwell@cs.com; Date: Mon, 27 Nov 2000 14:27:25 EST; A simple way to check if the sender unit is shot is to short its connector wire to earth. If all else is connected OK, then it should read full scale deflection (>100 celcius). Julian Cranwell; /html/alpines/2000-11/msg00342.html (6,680 bytes)

I had the float chambers off at least 6 times before I got it just right. I suspect your float le; /html/alpines/2000-11/msg00344.html (6,758 bytes)
91. Re: Brake anti-squeal goo (score: 1): Author: JACranwell@cs.com; Date: Wed, 29 Nov 2000 05:31:55 EST; Try softening the goo with hot water, then separating with a flat blade, taking care not to damage the rubber piston dust cover. The best way to avoid squeal is to use the anti-squeal shims which fit; /html/alpines/2000-11/msg00378.html (7,686 bytes)
92. Re: Brake anti-squeal goo (score: 1): Author: JACranwell@cs.com; Date: Thu, 30 Nov 2000 04:43:08 EST; If it's that bad, it sounds like you've got metal on metal. I assume that you've checked the pad wear. It is also possible that the pads or the calipers are the incorrect type, causing the metal bits; /html/alpines/2000-11/msg00404.html (7,534 bytes)
93. Re: Distributors (score: 1): Author: JACranwell@cs.com; Date: Tue, 10 Oct 2000 05:15:47 EDT; The difference is probably due to the earlier distributor being of the SIII and earlier type. This has a drive shaft for the rev-counter, whereas the later series had electronic rev-counters. I'm fa; /html/alpines/2000-10/msg00103.html (6,908 bytes)
94. Re: clutch shudder (fwd) (score: 1): Author: JACranwell@cs.com; Date: Tue, 10 Oct 2000 14:09:32 EDT; The judder could potentially be caused by oil contamination on the clutch plate. Even with a relatively new clutch, oil could have leaked in through a faulty rear cranck seal. Julian - SIII - Surrey; /html/alpines/2000-10/msg00118.html (6,524 bytes)

Re: Fron Brake Calipers (score: 1): Author: JACranwell@cs.com; Date: Thu, 12 Oct 2000 05:34:26 EDT; Having dismantled (and successfully re-assembled) more calipers than one could shake several large sticks at, I can confirm that there is absolutely no reason why this cannot be done by any competent; /html/alpines/2000-10/msg00164.html (7,285 bytes)
96. Re: Front Brake Calipers (score: 1): Author: JACranwell@cs.com; Date: Thu, 12 Oct 2000 10:17:48 EDT; I think you'll find that the unobtainium is rubber. More than adequate replacements are available from the aerospace industry. As to the assemply under pressure, I'm sure that is right, but, as long; /html/alpines/2000-10/msg00168.html (6,840 bytes)

I've had a copper pipe between my clutch master and slave cylinder for 10 years, and no cracks. This is significant, as this is a pipe which; /html/alpines/2000-10/msg00357.html (8,189 bytes)
