Fuel stabiliser is a good idea as modern fuels 'go off' after a while. I use this

Excellent, glad it worked

Yep it did work to a degree but my drive is quite steep and some water still found it's way into the car between the sliding glass. I was going to look at ways of sealing the gap up but never got round to it before the car came off the road for resto. There is the remnants of a seal in there but to ...

Happy Christmas everyone. Let us enjoy our bubbles, stay safe and look forward to a healthy and lockdown free new year

Hydrogen fuel cells seem to have gone quiet. In a past life I worked for BOC and, among, other things, ran a high purity hydrogen plant - the amount of energy used to produce the hydrogen was huge as the feedstock was natural gas. There's an experimental H2 plant over in Deeside that uses the gases ...

If you can run a power supply then these would be very good inside a car https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/800ML-ELECTRIC-DEHUMIDIFIER-AIR-PURIFIER-DRY-MOISTURE-DAMP-HOME-BEDROOM-BATHRO/383674176930?hash=item5954c355a2:g:kREAAOSwDxBfAu98 Needs emptying approximately weekly and needs to be on a flat surface...

Thank you for the info,
No evidence of any other stencils on the car, the tank was about the only bit that hadn't been plated over or bodged in some way But it's gone now as I had to de-rust and repaint the tank.

Thank you, not a secret military code then

I was cleaning up Ted's petrol tank when I came across this on the front face under all the grime and underseal https://i.imgur.com/IXVY2Ar.jpg Looks like it starts with an A then R then maybe another A a couple of indistinguishable figure then ending in 7 2 Anyone know what it is, maybe just a part...

My '71 traveller had the original rear reflective plate with Bluemels type raised letters. The front had a horrible Halfords plastic replacement so I was in the same predicament as James - replace as original or go black and silver. I opted for original and found a backing plate and lettering on eba...

The simplest and cheapest improvement is to re-fill the dampers with a heavier oil. SAE 30 or SAE 40 in them really makes a big difference to the ride. As suggested the next step is poly bushes all round.

Hi, I went for a walk in the Peak District today (before we're all in lockdown again :roll: ) and spotted a very nice red Rover P2 (didn't realise they were available in that colour??) while heading out for my walk driving through Matlock, Derbyshire. This was closely followed by a Rose Taupe Minor...

That sounds right. If the assembly is too far in then the kick plate and sill finisher won't line up with the edge of the outer sill. I did measure from the boxing panel to the outer edge of the outer sill a couple of inches in from the A and B posts and it was 3" I wrote it in top of the floor edge...

I've just done this repair. The boxing plate doesn't overlap the outer sill it sits on the inner under sill sections and the outer sill is welded to them https://i.imgur.com/A9gPuAa.jpg https://i.imgur.com/hkrfmHZ.jpg Not very clear but the outer sill is plug welded from underneath https://i.imgur.c...

I'm currently doing this very job and I've experienced a bit of project creep :roll: It's pretty easy to drill out the spot weld in the backing panel to see what's behind, hopefully it will be better than what I found :-? https://i.imgur.com/0M6AHGY.jpg https://i.imgur.com/xez9VI6.jpg My car has be ...

Dash pot oil low maybe

AC Dodd is well respected in Mini circles with many happy customers. I think he's located in Cumbria.

Just to clarify, as I forgot to say - this is a Lucas 25D distributor, with a new cap from Distributor Doctor, new leads and spark plugs from Accuspark and a new Accuspark Stealth ignition module. I found I needed to turn the dizzy a lot (anti-clockwise) when I fitted the Stealth system, in fact I ...

Ah sorry I thought they might be the wrong way round but just check mine.

I was a great advocate of Osmo oil it seemed to work well at first but unfortunately the wood on my traveller suffered badly one winter when under a Stormforce cover for a couple of weeks. Maybe the rot was already there deep inside and the cover, certainly didn't help, but once I've replaced the wo...
