Thermostat housing on a Conquest

Hi all I have just changed my thermostat and the tapping in the housing is very worn and I am worried that I can not do the 5/16 UNC bolts up tight. Has any one fitted Helicoils here? On the left side looking from the front of the car I could break through to the water take off ? Would this matter i...

Having fitted a new recondition unit brought from 'Daimlier Boy' complete with new in out pipes all is well. Many thanks Br...

Re: CONQUEST BRAKES

hi Brian-H
Yes I understand I thinks that is what is happing.
But which rod do I shorten I think it might be the rod between the brake pedal an the master cyclinder item 29 section L page 2 in the service
book? Do you agree ? The gaps on the front idler lever are about wright.
Thanks Bryan

CONQUEST BRAKES

HI AS YOU ALL MAY KNOW MY BRAKES ON A DJ252 ARE POOR. When backing out of the workshop even on a low tick over I have to put a very great force on the foot pedal to stop the car. How ever I tried the hand brake to day and the car stopped dead. So have I got some of the trunnion settings or the link ...

Re: Brakes on a Conquest DJ252

MANY THANKS ALL . How ever I am still not sure how to connect up the servo and what would the effect be on the rear brakes. If the servo was in the master cylinder output as is normal in new cars the front would work much better, but what would be the effect on the back brakes? If the servo was fitt...

Re: Brakes on a Conquest DJ252

Many thanks Peter Is the DB18 like the Conquest ie rod brakes on the rear pulled by the master cyclinder? If I fitted a Servo I am sure the front brakes would work much better but my little brain is not sure what would happen to the rear brakes? Would they get a increase in force or less as the foot...

Brakes on a Conquest DJ252

HI all The brakes on my DJ252 require a lot of pressure to stop . I have changed the front shoes and fitted 4 new wheel cylinders. My DJ260 is better but I think there was some changes on the MK2. As I get older the foot pressure gets harder to do. Could I fit a servo with a 3:1 pressure gain? I hav...
