G422er   10 #181 Posted February 19, 2012 Hello, Just bought a 1966 Riley Elf. First chance this afternoon to lift carpets and remove seats. Anybody got a cheap MIG welder? Also has Hydrolastic suspension which has leaked and needs refilling. Does anyone know where the filling valve is? Iam sure I will find out myself but if anyone can point me in the right direction it would save time. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
bill557 Â Â 10 #182 Posted February 19, 2012 I used to restore a riley elf. Found it hard to get a hold of parts. Still good value for money if you can get a hold of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Cheers  On the Austin 1100 there used to be a valve (similar to a tyre valve) just below the front n/s unit. May be the same on the Elf?

Charlie J Â Â 10 #186 Posted April 12, 2012 I have a 1971 VW Beetle, sadly off the road at the moment though as needs a lot of engine work and a new gear box. We did have a rather fantastic couple of years on the road though! Â Can't actually afford restoration at the moment so it will be a little while coming. Hope to purchase a 1970's VW panel van in the next couple of years too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
