Please can anyone help me with the vacuum advance on Hotchkiss distributor....have removed plate inside and the vac pipe just ends as a hole inside,so when you suck on pipe there is no connection to mechanism. Many thanks in advance for any help.

Did comp test on all 4 and around 110.Changed plugs,cond,points.Fitted new oil pump cos not 100 % about pressure.Good spark on all 4,took off head to check valves and general cond...all seemed fine.She will not fire and have towed her too. Any ideas would be very welcome.....many many thanks. Barry.

Hello,my name is Barry,i'm 47 and live in Llangollen,North Wales. I currently own a Bedford MJ and Hotchkiss Jeep. Don't get to meet up with too many like minded individuals so have joined here to keep in touch with what's going on. A few of us meet up at the "Powys & Mid-Wales" MVT group but we are very small ! Am thinking of looking out for some other vehicle soon.....oh dear !! Anyway,bye for now and see you on the site!

Can anyone help me........can't get Jeep to start. Tried everything,cyl pressures are around 120,new points,condenser. Sparks are good.Took head off to check valves etc and all seems fine. Any ideas please,it's not often i fail but this one's got me. Cheers
