Nice old film which I had seen a while ago already. Tests on the Stuttgart-München stretch and Stuttgart-Heilbronn it says. Stuttgart is known these days as Germany's largest car park and is the place to avoid if you can. The original Autobahnen were nearly always concrete sections with expansion jo...

It is not professional Workshop Quality but assuming that your garage floor is not smooth concrete, you may like to consider a self levelling screed ( if my Translation is correct "Ausgleichsestrich" ) which is probably available in sacks from builders merchants. When mixed , poured and lightly trow...

The type is mentioned on this article http://www.oldclassiccar.co.uk/car-heaters.htm [/quote] It was interesting to read that the K-L Monitor was made for the Thermal-syphon type of cooling System that my Austin 8 has. I am trying to find out how it works, if anyone has seen a technical description ...

If it wont move then you may have to revert to a three-way Extractor - they are cheap enough. Be sure though that it really is the oil seal in the Timing chain cover that is leaking. From Memory, the soft alu front which the lower bolts are screwed into are difficult to seal perfectly and the result...

I use Fertan a lot but your Surface Problem has not been a concern. I wash it off after it has cured liberally with water where possible. I suppose it is the non metal Areas ( e.g paintwork) where it does not cure and if not washed would remain sticky for eternity and spoil any subsequent paintwork.

I have, like many others, fitted a 3,9 diff to my 1098 Traveller. As expected on some of the hills around where I live, you have to drop a gear to climb up them in comparison to before but for longar journeys on the Autobahnen it comes into its own. The car will comfortably cruise at 100 and therefo...

Yes ! I have just managed to tighten up the RHS to the next available Slot for the split pin and this indeed cured the free Play! Many thanks for the tip. On the LHS, I had an initial shock, thinking I had broken something as the nut came loose when I tried to tighten it. This has a left Hand thread...

I noticed to today after parking my 69 Traveller that the inside of the RH Front tyre was worn down quite a lot. The LH one was perhaps slightly worn on the inside, difficult to tell but certainly nowhere near like that on the right. I jacked the front up when I got home and checked to see if there ...

The Planet will always survive in as much that it will still exist and Support life. Whether human beings survive or not Long term is immaterial to the survival of the planet. Even if all the nuclear bombs in the world went off at once and destoyed most of life on earth, in a Million years or so, li...

What is the Gadget on top of thr Thermostat housing?

..pity in some ways that he did not. The world might have been a better place. But then someone alse soon after would have also got the same idea.

I, like many others on the mainland, were dismayed at the original vote in June 2016, alarmed at the British Governments hard line Approach to what Brexit should mean but then somewhat perplexed at the reaction of the British Parliament to the Agreement as negotiated and agreed. But Mr Bercow was ve...

I have not seen one this year but in the last few years our garden here in central Germany has been visited by what Looks like a small hummingbird but is in fact an insect which normally lives in southern Europe but when the weather is warm enough, sometimes get across the alps. I did take a Picture...

Not a Problem Joachim, I understand German one-wall-free !

so, I did the brake pedal test with the engine not running but I did not really notice any difference afer frequent light depressing of the pedal. Then I removed the screws from the White plastic diaphragm cap and as it was prised free air gushed out. On inspection the rubber diaphragm looked to be ...

Do you have any more Pictures of some of the other cars at the Show?

With a servo fitted you should be able to lock the wheels without difficulty. Has the servo been stripped, examined and rebuilt. Is the servo diaphragm serviceable? Thankyou Phil and Richard. The Servo has never been stripped ( by me anyway) but I did fit a non return valve in the hope that it woul...

interesting read on the above. i have a servo assist already fitted on mine but am never sure if it really operates correctly or not. I do Need to apply good pressure to stop quickly but I have never been able to lock the wheels in braking even though the entire System has been renewed i.e new MC, O...

You went to USA ? My respects, you are brave!

the taste of tea is ruined by the Addition of milk and is positively horrible with sugar as well.
