Thanks Sakkie / Hercules - you have listed quite a few items which I did'nt know about.
Sakkie, according to my information the Gabriel front shock part nr. is 56172. I am not sure though - perhaps the number on my list is incorrect.
I bought my Lada with a Gud Z 95 oilfilter, and I have never used another type since. I have seen other Ladas with shorter filters than the Z 95, but I must say, I do prefer the longer (Z 95 ) filter.
Here is a list of SKF repacement bearings for the Gearbox. (Baxter / Ahma) The first number, listed below, is the original part no. :
Part no 2101 - 1701033 = SKF 615722 Part no 2101 - 1701108 = Needle bearing, not available in SKF Part no 2101 - 1701190 = SKF 6306NR Part no 2107 - 1701073 = SKF 613441 Part no 2101 - 1701068 = SKF 616073 Part no 2107 - 1701073 = SKF 613441 (2 bearings) Part no 2108 - 1701031 = SKF NJ205ECP
Thanks

Danie, You could have the correct part no. The best is to remove the shock and take it to the spares shop.
I had the short oil filter when I got my Lada, but I think it depends on the owner. Both should work.
I got my bearings from Bearing Man for the gearbox. SKF is expensive and they had no stock.
If I find the invoice from Bearing man I will post the part no.

Trying to find Master Cylinder (brakes) replacement seals, I once found a perfect match at a local spare shop :
Fiat Uno master cylinder seals - part no. 4396 (bought for R12.00 on date of purchase)

Master cylinder and Brake booster looks like the Fiat Uno 1100. Must be the same seals.
Thanks Danie

Some of the above mods I have not tried myself , but have been told about by other Niva owners.
I have seen on some Niva's there is a length of steel tubing coming out of the intake manifold with nothing connected to it. Jan at Lada Centurion told me it was for excess fuel to run out at when the motor floods. I was worried that as there is negative pressure in the intake manifold that air would get sucked in through it, along with dirt and dust. So I figured out a solution. Go to the nearest pet shop and buy a one way valve and a length of fish tank silicon hose. Stick a pice of hose onto the steel tubing then the one way valve so that the fuel can run out but no air/dust gets into the motor.
I've been running this on my Niva for the last 3 months with no problems.
You just need to correct your air/fuel mixture due to no more air coming thru the tubing.

Thanks for the list of replacement parts Ari - and welcome here.
I agree about the steel tube without any connection on the carb - it certainly sounds a bit strange. Apart from sucking dirt and dust, the air / feul mix would also be incorrect. I am quite sure that the engine will loose power as well, or might even battle to start..........which might lead to more flooding problems.........
The one way valve sounds like a very good idea - please let us know if any problems occur in future.
I noticed that a weber carb has been fitted on your Lada. Do you know whether the carb has improved general enjin performance ?
Regards
Danie

Welcome Ari and thanks for the info.
The pipe coming out of the intake manifold is not for when the vehicle flood. It is part of the exhaust gas recirculating system and must be connected to a valve on the exhaust manifold. This allows a small amount of exhaust gas to recirculate through the engine as soon as water temp passed 48 deg. The system is described on page 55 of the Lada workshop repair manual.
Regards.
Hercules.

Thanks for the info Hercules.
The pipe on my Lada has been blocked off completely - I bought the car like this, and never bothered to find out about the valve (without any connection) on the exhaust manifold.

Danie

Thanks Danie.
My vehicle is fitted with the valve and i think if the system is not used or some parts is missing, the best is to blank all open pipes and holes off. This will ensure that no air and debriss is sucked into the engine and cause serious damage or an exhaust leak that will cause valve damage due to compression loss in the exhaust manifold. The pipe is so high in the manifold that incase of a flood, the engine will be allready damaged by a hydraulic lock before any fluids will run out from the pipe out of the manifold.
Regards.
Hercules.

Thanks for your advice Hercules.
There is a possibility that the valve on my Lada' manifold is stuck in the "closed" position - I never heard a hissing / leaking noise before, but perhaps a leaking noise will be dampened by the valve.
So I hope to find a way to blank the connection end completely.
Regards
Danie

Thanks guys for the feedback
I think that when the previous owner of my Niva put the Weber 36/36 DCD carb on, he took some of that exhaust gas recirculation EGR system off for some reason.
I don't know about the performance gain because I got my Niva with the Weber 36/36 DCD carb already on

I use a modified 128 Fiat LDV water pump on my Lada.
The mod consist of the following. I drilled the mounting holes open to 12mm, remove the pulley and press fit the original pump pulley mount wrong way around on the shaft, to use the original pulley and fan. On the studs I used spacers to be able to fit the cowling bracket. The pump still work very well after 18000km in everyday highway driving and crawling. The part no. is W17203A and available from any spare part dealer.
I also use 10 liter of anti-freeze in my Lada.
Regards.
Hercules.

The window winder mechanism can be replaced with a mechanism of a Toyota 1800 Venture. It require a small mod for fitment but work very well. Jan at Centurion Lada do the same mods when the original winder mechanism broke.

When my heater valve got stuck in the open position, I fitted a ball valve in the water feeding line in the engine comp. Now I can still use the heater during winter time and shut it off in summer. The Lada got a very good hot heater and is a welcome in winter time. All parts and fittings is available at any hardware store.

Thanks Hercules.
The importance of a good quality antifreeze should never been underestimated. I bought my Lada without any antifreeze in the cooling system. The water was rusty, and I beleive that the one blocked water channel in the cylinder head gasket can be related directly to the fact that the car has been running without a good quality anti freeze.
Apart from lubricating the waterpump, a good quality antifreeze usually inhibits rust in the cooling system as well.
Regards
Danie

My Lada still had the screw on feul cap when I bought it. I replace the filler neck with one from a 80's model Fort Granada filler neck. I only had to cut the filler pipe shorter to make it the same lenght as the Lada Pipe. It fit perfect even the mounting screw is in the same position. Now I got a lock cap on my feul tank and the cap is available at any spare shop.

hi Ari the 36 is a close match to the original solaris.....little gain not much... how ever i have a 40mm installed wich also came with the car....nice power but way to much fuel usage and also it cuts out the gas system quite alot....well now i'm having huge problems with the carb...and want to fit a different type 36 or 38 and maybe even a 32. Thanks guys for the feedback I think that when the previous owner of my Niva put the Weber 36/36 DCD carb on, he took some of that exhaust gas recirculation EGR system off for some reason. I don't know about the performance gain because I got my Niva with the Weber 36/36 DCD carb already on Ari

By the way, - I've got a standard Lada carb, without aircleaner (and I think a standard intake manifold as well) up for grabs at the moment. I am not sure about the condition - never bothered to have a proper look........
I've just got to make sure about the intake manifold - think it's still lying somewhere in my garage.
Anyone who might be interested, just let me know.............no charge, exept postage fee.

I am sure that should Ari decide not to use the carb eventually, he will be willing to contact you.........
