Re: Cylinder head removal 1098

A copy of the blue soft backed workshop manual is an essential. It will show you how to best remove the cylinder head and associated components. It is one of the easier jobs, personally I would check see if a decoke is necessary too, I just love the sound of valves plopping when grinding them in. ht...

Re: American road tests a Minor

What a weird air filter ?
And the first time I have heard a quarter light called a smokers window.
I wonder why there is a chrome rolls royce badge on the rear number plate ?
And apparently the car is dated because after all 1957 Britain was behind the times.
Nice kid, but he needs to do his research.

A series engine info

I purchased a copy of the A series engine by Graham Robson and straight away in the acknowledgements found a wonderful source of info. I used my search engine to look for John Baker "Austin memories" a website full of good stuff. Anyways up, its worth a look. http://www.austinmemories.com/...

Re: Advice please, new owner, hiding contents of Traveller

If you google car cargo covers you will be offered a choice for other models, I think you will have to take one of those, fit a couple of brackets to slot over the back seats and arrange catches for the other end.
Could be a nice project.
You will have to measure the width of course.

Re: Fuel pump woes

I dunno. I had an intermittent fault that turned out to be the item shown under the distributor cap. The engine would stop and would start again because the rocking of the engine when turned joined a broken cable, temporarily. Can you hear the fuel pump ticking all the time ? In other words, is it t...
