Lada Niva Hussar

Dad had to sell his very rare RH drive Lada Niva Hussar last year. For his birthday, I took apart and decorated a crappy model RC version. 'Rust' included, obviously.

Mysterious starting problem

Hello!

I was driving my Lada Samara 1500 from 2001 when I managed to cut the engine by accident.

Not thinking much of it I put a gear in and drove away.

Now the machine won't start.

The relay does click, there's power in the battery and I changed the starting engine.

But when I turn the keys it doesn't even try to start.

I'm falling out of hope with this and figures someone here might have an idea :)

Autompire Sofia

Evening all. I’m looking at buying a Lada in the not so distant future and I’ve found a company on Facebook and instagram called Autompire. They’ve got some beautiful cars and the guy has good responses and everything seems 100% legitimate so far. I just wondered whether anyone has had any experience with this company before?

My niva doesn't want to run without choke

I have a 1982 lada niva made for the Soviet market, and i barely got home on my last drive, it doesn't want to run without the choke and if i want to start driving, it stalls after a few seconds of driving and doesn't want to run without the choke, it had no problems before except for not wanting to go full throttle in 4th gear.

Lada in the summer

Hello. I have a 2007 Niva with A/C. It’s in very good condition and I use it daily. Just to be safe in summer I installed an extra thermostat for the radiator to open in 93-87 degrees Celsius instead of 99-93 from factory only. In Greek summer in highway I see for OBD I installed that in highway with 100-110 temp goes up to 98 degrees when AC is on. Radiator working constantly. Is this normal and safe?? Relatively new owner nice to meet ya all!!

Fun fact: You could buy a brand new Lada Niva in Tunisia from 2018 to 2022!

Unfortunately, the war in Ukraine stopped everything. Supply chains broke, and getting spare parts became very difficult. But a lot of them are out there on the roads .

Honestly, besides the heavy fuel consumption (it drinks a lot!), for me, it's simply the best car in the world. Unstoppable, purely mechanical.

A true legend!

Clutch Bleeding - 93' Niva 1.6.

What's the best method for bleeding the clutch cylinders on my 93 niva? I've tried both regular, and reverse bleeding, but I'm not convinced I've purged all the air.

The workshop manual (see attached photo) asks for the clutch pedal to be depressed when tightening the bleeder union at the end of bleeding. What's the purpose for this?

The manual also asks for the free travel of the pedal to be 0.1-2mm (adjusted by the pedal stop). Later on, it says the free travel ought to be 25-35mm. Why the two measurements? Does anybody have a guide on how to adjust the pedal stop?

Cheers.

Question

In the following months, Ill buy my second car. I already have a Niva and Lada is my favorite brand. How easy is it to get parts for other cars like Volgas or UAZ ? I love Zhigulis but Volgas are simply Volgas and I am yet to see one where I live, Ladas there is a few
