Willie, Where you have a diff or gearbox without a drainplug what harm is there by sucking out old oil replacing it with flesh oil. Remember that when you are just topping up and not draining then you are not doing anything to improve the existing quality of the oil. The other point I made was that ...

If I was going to attemt polishing components I would buy a polishing kit from Frosts. With polishing the smother the finish the better the shine.

Pub Co2 is not recomended as it containes impurities like Nitrogen. The impurities put the bubbles in the beer, do you want bubbles in your welding ?. Cam, I went to an open day held by BOC. I got one of the sales men to demonstrate the difference between Co2 and Argon Shield. Argon Shield does give...

I would say as other people have said its only water vapour etheir due to the cold weather / you need an oil change. If the car is only being used for short runs in cold weather and not getting warmed the problem can appear worse than it is. As long as your car has not developed a thurst for water I...

My settup is a scrapyard one from a Marina cost £10.00. I used a spare regulator as a junction box. I removed the internal workings and used the box as a junction box. I did not need to cut any wires doing it this way. If I wanted to change it back to original it would be no problem. If you buy a sc...

Willie, Yes I know it's been stated before that radial tyres offer advantages over cross plys. But for me it's the one that has made all the difference. Before fitting radials I was convinced that one of the back shocks was going to need replacing. The car would regularly brake away at the back espe...

Marrina / Ital Disc Conversion
On http://www.jameswhiting.com/page11.html there is a kit for changing an Ital rear axle to disc brakes. The cost is £793.11 + VAT. Iam sure that it could be done a lot cheap using scrapyard parts. Sierra discs and calipers should be able to be made to fit. All you would need is a bracket welding on...

Have you seen an references on the web to car owners that have converted the Lancia Beta 2Litre twin cam to rear wheel drive. I have looked and have not found anything yet. I would be wary of going down this path as it could turn into an expensive mistake. It is suppose to be possible to convert a f...
