First off, thanks for all the incredibly useful postings on the site. They've been a real saving grace whilst getting my baby back on the road after some time in storage.
Next I'm wondering if I might for a little assistance with, what are hopefully, the last few niggling items I'm struggling with:
1) My baby has sat in storage for quite a few years (kids and a divorce will do that, ya know), and she's having some re-teething issues relating to engine(?) noise (fairly strong knocking at idle).
2) She's also not able to idle, but revs smoothly in neutral over 1100 or so upwards, and also has a strong pull up through the gears.
3) I'm having a bugger of a time with the electrics. Everything was working great when I first put a battery back in her, but now I've lost dash lighting on the right side of the cluster, along with the Neutral light, clock and gear position, as well as flashers not working. Everything else electrical seems to be working fine.
4) Lastly, I've been trying to bleed the front brakes, but am running in to a big problem with pressure from the front master (all lines disconnected from the cylinder, just pumping to build pressure, then releasing and repeating, but to no avail).
I realise this a big shopping list on my first posting, but I'm really at a loss here, so all commentary gratefully appreciated.
Cheers, Alex.
