Slight thread hijack but have you got a hydraulic clutch with concentric slave cylinder for the Type 9 box?
If so I would like details

What mileage does the average cover in a year? Say 3000miles at a sedate 45mph and probably parked up in the winter :roll: What happens to the brake cylinders, especially the front - seized :cry: Answer - fit front discs! Cuts maintenance, pads easier to fit than shoes, cheaper, cylinders don't seiz...

Geo Thanks very much for research, the ABI Salvage Code looks a good reference document 8.4 of the code seems perfectly reasonable but 9.4 could be used 9.4 Historic/ Classic Vehicles It is recognised that some historic/ classic vehicles or vehicles of special interest (Sentimental Value) may be rep...

It’s a bit ridiculous,that...obviously crash damaged parts can’t be allowed back into the market, but lots of rare and useful stuff is being wasted.

Is this a legal requirement or something the insurance companies have dreamt up?

Hi Geo, thanks for reply So, salvage does have to be paid for if the owner wants it back. Provided the car hasn't been burnt out it is surprising what cab salvaged from a Cat A write off Thanks for the link, very interesting When renewing insurance ask plenty of questions, even more if it's you "dai...

Cut off the pipe on the radiator leaving approx 1" and purchase a rad hose with a 90deg bend from your local motor factor, make sure you get the correct internal diameter, or cut a Minor bottom hose to fit

I've been ringing around re insurance and it is interesting to note that Footman James now charge an extra premium of £12 to guarantee the owner gets back the salvage in the case of a Category A or B insurance write off at no extra charge. If the extra premium is not paid then the salvage can be pur...

Declan,
Thanks very much for suggestion, a very neat idea and somewhere in the garage I have a brass valve

Yes, does help. I didn't search for long enough!
Many thanks
This link http://bit.ly/2KCnSZC takes you to Biomeds solution

Long thread a while back re replacement heater valves which I don't think came up with a solution
So, how about this one?

Looks a well made valve at a reasonable price but I'm looking for ideas as to where is the best place to mount the valve

Phil, you have a very good knowledge on my old home territory!
We must meet sone time to discuss

Not sure if this link works http://bit.ly/2WqLdk0 but a very interesting Youtube video of the 1963 VSCC Rally at Presteigne.

Nice idea for a Minor Rally especially in the Presteigne/Mid-Wales area where the roads are quiet!

Who's up for it?

Thanks for replies, much appreciated.

My IT needs are minimal so I thought I'd buy a used laptop, not refurbished.

Has anyone got a favourite test I could run on a laptop to see if the hardware and software is functioning correctly
NB. must be simple to carry out

Unless your description is not as you intended and you have used a higher hole in the vernier plate you have lowered the suspension.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! To raise the suspension you must use a lower hole in the vernier plate. I wanted to lower the driver's side which has always appeared higher than the ...

Thanks for replies.
I've moved the arm to the highest hole in the vernier; now looks higher

To give a small adjustment of height of front suspension on one side do I use a higher hole in the vernier plate to lower and vice versa to to raise?

Have a look at Skyscanner website forum
