    Buy on ebay circa 500 quid for 800 Watts

    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/135183588992

    Great discussion here.

    https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6659783/plug-in-solar

    But how long to get your 500 quid back? I've read savings of circa 150/175 quid a year a current(😉) rates.

    How long will the panels/kit last before it packs up? Will you get your...

    Thanks for that,Dave. there was quite a bit of info about residual pressure and even using two gaskets on the end plate, but cutting them so that the piston butts up against the plate not the gasket, allowing the piston to clear the return hole.
    I had a good look inside the cylinder and pulled out the valve in the bottom of the brake side. It looks as though it may not work as well as the old ...

    Do you mean the dual Clutch/Brake master? There is nothing 'at length' (tandem) about them.

    If you search the archives here, the TRW dual masters seem to have gone through a bad patch about 10 years ago. I seem to remember it was to do with the valve in the brake bore.

    With that in mind I fitted an AP Colparo one a few years ago as a replacement for an old TRW one. Then follow...

    It might be worth a look at the MGA section archive, as they use a similar cylinder. I thin kit has been discussed a few times.

    The 'live' BBS is anything but, ATM.

    This?

  • b higginson24 March 2026

    Can anyone tell me exactly what is, or are the perceived faults on some TRW tandem master cylinders?
    I have just managed to strip the thread on one of the ports of my Mk3 Sprite’s m/cyl, but I have a TRW one which came with an abandoned project that I bought, so I thought I take a chance and fit it, but am a bit wary if there are any safety critical issues.
    Thanks. Bernie.

    " European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen has declared the time has come for negotiations with Iran to reopen the blocked Strait of Hormuz given the perilous energy situation around the globe.

    Speaking in Australia at the conclusion of a new free-trade agreement between the EU and Australia, she said: 'The situation is critical for the energy supply allies worldwide.

    This Midget, currently for sale on ebay, has Frontline suspension.

    It looks a bit severe.

    As you are changing distributors it's probably easier to leave the clamp plate attached to the engine.

    But before you do that note what the timing is set to now. With a neon light you will need to do it in low ambient light levels as they aren't very bright, it helps to put a little white paint into the notch in the pulley (as in the attached). TDC is the top pointer on the cover and th...

    Seemingly all the rage in Germany, soon to be available/legal in the UK.

    Anybody here know about them?

    Any good?

    Worth it?
