Can’t stop watching all your videos just got myself a 1972 r and all your videos have been extremely helpful, I have a problem with the first gear, it jitters when mostly from a stopped position when going uphill. Really don’t know what to do or who to give it to, do you have any advice on any mechanic in West Sussex area? Thanks again for videos

Hey - that might be something simple like the clutch or the clutch cable. You should check that the cable is fixed to the side of gearbox, near the back, and is tight - I have heard of similar symptoms that you are experiencing caused by this. Also, check the tension of the cable (check out video 111). Let me know how you get on ... and if you want to discuss, please DM me on Instagram @the500workshop, or try and find me on Messenger (James Dilley) I don't know any mechanics specifically around that area - sorry

Changing the Dipstick Rubber Seal on my 500D today because the three extrusions on the rubber seal shaft became heat hardened and effectively rubbed off, causing excess oil to pass out the top of the dipstick seal into the engine bay...... messy & smoky (Ricambio Part No: RIC-866 = £1.14)
