Oh dear. There are so many of these stories about dvla nowadays. Vehicles registered under the earlier procedures were mostly put on the dvla computer record during the 70s and 80s. Much of the data was hastily copied from old documents and inaccuracies are commonplace as they seem to have been pret...

Of course we must remember that those who buy at Pebble Beach live and think in a slightly different world from the rest of us...

Then I spotted this, maybe we undervalue our moggies.

Ah but, most of us haven’t bothered to polish the underside.

<t>Any part might fail but some are much more likely to than others. If I thought every part was going to fail I would have found a new hobby years ago. There are plenty of hundred year old cars still with many original parts. Replacement can be determined in various ways, mileage for plugs and filt...

The Automobile magazine takes itself quite seriously and is seldom given to levity. This month’s issue has a report on the auctions at the prestigious Pebble Beach event in California. Some of the world’s most desirable cars changed hands with prices going into seven figures. They couldn’t resist th...

I had a clutch linkage fail once, it’s surprising how slowly a mog can go in top gear if it has to. In my case the part that went was the metal plate that holds the rubber bush in place. The clutch linkage isn’t one of the mog’s strongest points and I can’t help thinking that if you are concerned ab...

I think there are quite a few manufacturers of the pancake filters from high tech racing outfits to cheapie third world producers. There probaby isn’t a consistent type to compare with the standard mog filter, and even these have several different kinds.

When running the fan motor makes a whirring noise, rising with speed and bearing wear. Silence means it’s not going.

If it works you can also feel air blowing out.

Vehicles registered under the earlier systems were mostly put on the dvla record during the 70s and 80s. In those days there were many inaccuracies and yours is probably a dvla typo.

If nothing external can be seen to be wrong drain the axle and gearbox oil and see if anything else coes out.

I had a 1500 Maxi for a while in the seventies as a junk-hauler. As a classic? No, I wouldn’t bother.

Many thanks.

That number was meant to be a link but it doesn’t seem to have worked like that. It’s just listed as MG midget.

There’s a mechanically complete MG Midget on ebay and it’s not dear (at the moment anyway). As it has j reg I think it should be a 1275cc

Interesting choice of backdrops for Bojo’s speechifying over two days. Yesterday the police, supposedly not political but also usually seen as reliable and trustworthy whereas Boris..... Today, seeking something more appropriate he poses with a bull. Of course both of them produce a great deal of bu...

Ah! Great minds think alike.

The choke should twist and hold. If yours doesn’t it is probably worn, or someone has fitted a duff cable.

You could fit a new cable but the time honoured remedy is to use a clothes peg.

Sorry that should read 20/50. 4 cans of Comma 20/50 bought on line work out at £8.50 a gallon.

Hello and welcome, I like the website. Sae 30 oil is effectively replaced by 20/30 and you can use that in your smooth case gearbox. That Classic Castrol looks expensive though and mine run quite happily on Comma.
