Hello Chris,
I cannot comment on the seal and if the 124 is suitable or not. But I would say that importing items from Australia or other places into the UK, you shouldn't have to pay import duty if the declared value is under £25.
Good luck!

Hi,
Any advice on what grease to use on the gear lever mechanism as shown in the pictures.
Would a general purpose grease be okay or should I be using Lithium based grease or even a silicone based grease. Also, how much should I be applying? just a thin coating or plenty?
Cheers,
Chris

Hi Theo,
So, just an update on the above seal!
I live 30 minutes away from Simply Bearings, so I drove there this morning with the seal but unfortunately, they were unable to help, apart from offering to send it to one of their manufacturers but they could give no indication of time scale or how much it would cost to have one made.
I have, however, found a guy in Australia(The Fiat Factory)who is selling them but they are £19 each and that is without delivery costs and the dreaded import costs and who knows how long it would take to arrive if I placed an order with them.
Anyway, I went and ordered a seal for a Fiat 124 and although it looks different and does not have the recess for the spring, it does fit and the spring sits against the seal rather than in a recess and the whole thing fits snuggly inside the propshaft, so fingers crossed it will be okay.
I am wondering if this seal is a replacement/upgrade from the original?
Regards,
Chris

Hi,
Trying to locate the seal that fits on the end of the gearbox output shaft on my 131 2.0L five speed gearbox. It's the seal that fits at the end of the output shaft and is held in place with a centering ring and circlip and the seal has a groove on the side facing the engine, which carries a spring. I have tried Ricambio and Middle Barton Garage but this seal is not something that they stock.
regards,
Chris

Here's the latest information about the weekend:
1: AFFILIATE TOUR OF PAMPLONA
As you know, this activity is completely free, as our partner, Juan Carlos, offered to organize this activity on his own.
We will be in a minimum of two groups, one of which will try to provide explanations in English.
We will visit the most iconic sites in Pamplona's old town, as well as part of the San Fermín bull run route.
Juan Carlos will indicate the meeting point at the time, but please note that it starts at 7 p.m. Those arriving late should just let us know when they will be in the area so we can join the different groups.
2. INDARA NIGHTCLUB
The tour will last approximately one hour and 30 minutes, allowing us time to get to the Indara nightclub. As you know, we've reserved an exclusive space for us, with Ibarra music playing for two hours.
During this time, we'll also provide dinner, which we'll initially have as a snack.
In this case, we recommend arriving early, as the price will be the same, whether you enjoy the activity, the full two hours, or half the time.
At 11:00 PM, everyone can do whatever they want. The private space we're in will open to the public, and drinks will be the same price.
3. ACCOMMODATION AT HOTEL MAISONNAVE
Please note that guests staying at the hotel must cross a pedestrian zone, which is prohibited to vehicle traffic unless you are a hotel guest.
The parking lot is located 50 meters away from the hotel.
We recommend that you first enter the parking lot, park your vehicle, and then visit the hotel reception to check in.
As you know, dinner on Saturday will also be held at the hotel.
The doors of the restaurant will be open. This also applies to guests who are not staying there but are registered with us.
This is a single menu with no options, except for those with food intolerances, allergies, etc.
4. LANDABEN VISIT
The Landaben factory tour will officially begin at 9:30 a.m., so we ask that visitors arrive at the factory by 9:15 a.m.
A parking lot will be provided for their vehicles.
Those staying overnight at the Maison Nave Hotel should be aware that the official delegation will leave the hotel parking lot at 9:00 a.m. Those who are not there by that time will not be able to wait for them, but they can go on their own. As I said, everyone will have access to the locations we will visit.
We recommend arriving early because, although this is a free activity, it would be a shame to miss out on some of the information we will provide.
Due to capacity constraints, several groups will be organized to visit the museum. Groups who have completed the tour should go to the parking lot, get their cars, and head to the following location: NOÁIN TOWN HALL PARKING. There will be some manager or collaborator who directs these operations.
5. VEHICLE PARKING, NOÁIN TOWN HALL SQUARE
As stated, we will arrive at this location in stages. Organizers will be there to locate vehicles and indicate the location of the tent where everyone should go to register. ALL attendees must go through the tent.
We will remain at this location until 2:00 PM.
6. LUNCH AT ASADOR LIZARRONDO
As we just mentioned, at 2:00 PM we will leave the Town Hall parking lot and head to the Lizarrondo Asador, where we will eat.
In this case, all vehicles will depart at the same time. We are waiting for the local police to facilitate this departure. The route is quite short since it is located in the same municipality.
At the Asador, chairs have been reserved for young children who will not be eating a set menu.
Children's menus will, in principle, be ordered at the time and also paid for at the time, so parents will be responsible for this.
Once the meal is over, the organizers will give all attendees the afternoon free to do whatever they see fit.
7. DINNER AT HOTEL MAISONNAVE
Initially, the time has yet to be finalized, but our intention is to hold it at 10:00 p.m.
This would conclude Saturday's activities.
8. VISIT TO OLITE
On Sunday, we have several activities in the Navarrese village of OLITE. The trip from the center of Pamplona can take approximately 40 to 45 minutes, so it's best to be prepared and start your vehicles at 9:15 a.m.
As you know, there will be two groups.
One will visit the Marcor Real winery, while the other will visit the village of Olite and its buildings.
Both tours are scheduled to begin at 10:30 a.m. and last approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes.
After both tours, you will return to the winery. You can visit the village of OLITE and vice versa.
For those who, due to time constraints, have chosen only one activity, we will try to accommodate the first-hour groups.
The guided tour will be conducted in Spanish for one group and in English for the other.
The winery tour will be conducted in Spanish for one group, while the other will be bilingual: English and Spanish.
After both tours, we will go to lunch at the Casa Zanito restaurant, located in the heart of Olite.
After this lunch, the organizers have no further activities planned, and each attendee can do whatever they wish.
For our part, the vehicle gathering will be concluded.
