 :Welcome:Paul
If you are looking for parts I have quite a few from my S2 when it was overhauled

[jbcollier]

Overhauled?!

More like magically transformed!

Perhaps not magically as there was a heck of lot of work but certainly transformed.

Thanks 7upJohn...

Let me start the list of parts needed with LH door quarter glass. Currently have a lovely misted up piece of plastic as a substitute.

Or if anyone else has one, or knows where to get one.

Thanks.

That I don't have the originals are still in my car

[Paul_71]

....... Steering lock/ignition switch?

Hopefully, you'll find a good used one at a good price, but failing that, r.d. (rdent.com).

A long couple of weeks working on the car and finally made some progress tonight. After flushing, cleaning, rebuilding, part searching/buying and not to mention sorting the heap off mess on the ignition electrics, I got the car started. I'm still not getting any fuel and so had to manually squirt fuel into the carb.
I ran a vacuum pump on the fuel  line going from the side of the tank to the lower inlet on the fuel pump and it's blocked. Not in the pipe but in the tank. The other pipe going to the front of the tank and T piece is clear. Should the side pipe be blocked? Any ideas what's going on and why it's not sucking fuel?

If it were me, I would drain both tanks, take out the RH tank, and see what crap there was inside the tank.

If you just blew the fuel line with compressed air, what was blocking it would still be there in the tank to block it some other time.

[Paul_71]

Should the pipe inside the tank from the side entry point be open? Meaning if I run compressed air down it the fuel should bubble?

[jbcollier]

All pipes should be clear.  Use compressed air carefully, making sure there is somewhere for it to go by removing the cap first.  Build up pressure slowly as you do not want fuel and fuel vapour to suddenly be sprayed everywhere.

I can't get it clear. Tried spraying cleaner down there, followed my compressed air and nothing. Tried a few times over the day and still a blockage inside the tank.

Any other ideas??

[jbcollier]

Remove tank and:

- get it boiled out at a rad shop;

- cut it open and replace the plugged pipe; or,

- replace it.

What type of cleaner did you try?

[4129R]

Can't you stick stiff wire (fence wire) or an opened out metal coat hanger down a section of the feed pipe to see if you can move the obstruction?

[Paul_71]

I tried PB blaster and also tried a brake cable from a bicycle. The cable came to a holt at the end and repeated jabs didn't free anything up.
Thanks for the advice everyone. Thinking to remove the tank and have it looked at by my local rad and tank specialist.
