I´m sure the jubilee clips were as effective as a hand brake on a canoe - I´m going to fix the problem rather than attempt to use the force (!). The centre propshaft bearing is on order...

As for the carb I´ve found a number on it





Does anyone know about the Weber 36 DCD?

(Seems to be popular-ish on VW Golfs)
