Re: [T3] strange clunking from final drive and ignition timing,

<x-charset iso-8859-1>15mpg (UK) is pretty poor even on short journeys in winter.  Most likely it
has leaking needle valves in the carb tops.  I'm assuming the fuel lines
don't leak - pretty obvious if there's a petrol smell though!
Does the oil get fuller?  That can happen with a damaged fuel pump
diaphragm.  Sniff the oil - is it rather thin, higher than normal and
smelling of petrol?
