Re: Touring in a Traveller.

Meensy, it sounds like an interesting trip, you will need to post on here your exploits

As Roy says make sure you have got brake down recovery and have a mobile phone charged up all the time

Have a nice time

Re: Just bought car, switched headlights and car cut out - Fixed

Well done Paddy, she looks a nice car

It's not uncommon for a Minor to throw a spanner in the works when you buy one, I had a problem with the drivers door lock just after I got mine

Post up some more pictures when you get a chance

Re: MMOC RAC Breakdown cover

I've just recently signed up with Start Rescue, one thing you can do with them is down load an app to your phone, should you break down you just click the button, it sends a message to them and with the gps from your phone they know where you are. They then send you a text to say how long they would...

Re: Busy Weekend

Thanks Mike

They came with the metal base which fastens straight on to the original brackets and just needs new holes drilling for the rear brackets

Busy Weekend

I had a busy weekend with Bessie, my mate fitted new rear brake shoes and new front Newton Commercial seats What a difference these make, the old seats after half an hour would give you back ache (I do struggle with a bad back), but the NC ones are really comfy Not only are they comfy but you can mo...
