i now understand why the last owner kept it under a cover, im going to try and get it off him… still owe him ?150 and he didnt mention anything about the waterfall coming into the car so might use that to get the cover or some discount hhmmm.
i'm finding the longer i own this car its becoming apparent it suffers exactly the same problems as my first mk1 i had 15 years ago, some things never change

took plate off round the pinion, bearings resemble a collection of clegnuts. bugger.
took off adjuster plate, more brown water, and a seized plunger. got that out, wasn't even touching the rack.
and the rack looks like a brown mouldy stick.
lovely
looks like a new rack for me then!!
had to clean and put my old one back in for now though untill I can get hold of one.

Had this problem for about a month now and no matter what I do or how much money I chuck at it I can't get it solved! It's just putting a huge hole in my pocket….

i feel your pain mate, i have the same symptoms minus the white smoke. i have replaced all the vac hoses which made it a bit better. fuel lines and filter next. if that don't do the trick i'm going to get a new carb.
i thought about torching mine but it would be a waste of time as the interior is sopping wet from all the window/sunroof seal leaks

did you replace the fuel lines or take it to a garage? is this an easy straight forward job? my lines are pretty perished and on their last legs
Did them myself, also made new rigid stainless pipes which are days away from going on sale!

the other day the car was parked on the drive with the nose end pointing down the hill and there was a lot of water in the rear passenger footwell and there seemed a fair bit in the boot as well.
last night i parked the car with the real pointing down and this morning there was a bit in the passenger footwell and less in the boot but now some in the driver footwell
found some rust around the bottom of the windscreen seal so in going to seal that up. the sunroof seal has totally gone so that needs replacing or sealing up and i need to run a bit of wire down the drainage gutter and poke about as i'm sure they are clogged with rust.
the list of things to do grows yet again
