Bad hot starting can be the result of a build-up of pressure in the fuel feed line of a carburettor equipped car which causes flooding of the carburettor either during hot soak or whilst cranking.

Some manufacturers addressed this problem by fitting a fuel return line to the tank. However, this is a cumbersome solution for owners of cars without this feature as it involves making irreversible modifications to the car. Thankfully, Webcon has the answer.

Webcon’s Fuel Line Pressure Relief Kit consists of extra fuel hose, clips, and two tee pieces, (one with a valve and one without) to create a by-pass loop in the feed pipe which then bleeds excess pressure build-up from the system.

Installation involves just cutting the fuel feed pipe before and after the fuel pump then inserting the by-pass hose via the tee pieces. As well as the components listed above the kit also comes will illustrated instructions.Solving a hot starting problem really is as simple as that. . The kit is available with 8mm I.D. hose (Part HSK001) or 6mm I.D. hose (Part HSK002) and retails at just £27.71 plus VAT.

Available directly from Webcon and from appointed Webcon dealers around the world.

Over the years alloy parts in an engine’s cooling system – particularly the thermostat housing – tend to corrode leading to unsightly green oxidation and eventually, coolant leaks.

Fortunately Mini Spares can offer a direct-fit replacement thermostat housing for early Minis and the Morris Minor. The Mini Spares part comes complete with a threaded take-off to fit a temperature sensor or electric fan controller, (just like the housing originally fitted to deluxe versions of the 850/998 Mini until 1968 that came with a temperature gauge).

This alloy thermostat housing can be ordered as part number 12A408 at £54.00 inc. VAT.

If the take-off is not required at the moment it can be blanked off with a Blanking Plug (ADP210 at £4.79 inc. VAT) and washer (1B3664 at 30p inc. VAT) both available from Mini Spares.
