Re: Post referendum malarkey

That is exactly right Roy. ...and precisely what the european Union is all about. One Thing though, not mentioned by all the pundits. The EU free trade Agreement of member states is very advantageous for large Multi national companies - GM for example make their cars in GB, Germany, Spain, Belgium.....

Bilderberg? Never heard of it before. But it appears that People inside GB/UK or whatever believe they are important to the world :lol:

What is British? Is the Deutsche Bank now British because its chairman is English? Is the steel component with "Made in England" stamped on it British? The Basic sttel probably emanates from China and if it does not, then the Ore Comes from Sweden, the coal for smelting likely from Austral...

Re: Traveller '68 - Left Hand drive conversion

Made another small test drive just now and it is better News but not perfect. The rear Brakes are obviously not binding any more, the front less so, Drivers side still warming up. Will try without the servo connected, next time - thanks Roy for the tip. As this appears to be the root of the problerm...

Re: Traveller '68 - Left Hand drive conversion

Binding Brakes I will add this final Problem to this thread as before I did the conversion all was working well. Did some road testing this afternoon and it is quite clear now that all wheel Brakes are binding ( some smoke and all 4 wheels have heated up)- thus for my logic it can only be that some...

The sources of Information I give links to are european and thus are issued in many languages.

It is nice to feel wanted but I have been trying to sort my binding Brakes - Sulking? It is likely that I will be a winner from the vote as a large Body of the Banking sector could leave London for Frankfurt and as a result the property Prices in "Mainhatten" will jump. Thus my sadness, ma...

Re: Front brake cylinders.

That has got me thinking. My Brakes are binding again after a Long lay off whilst doing my LHD conversion. i thought perhaps that the Master cylinder is at fault ( still need to check if all or only 1 or 2 wheels are affected) however, how can i tell if i have the "replica" wheel brake cyl...

Re: This Europe referendum malarkey

Hope springs eternal. If UK does leave the EU then will the UK itself break up? The Scottish think so and now the Welsh I am told. Not a promising future either. The EU has the second largest BIP in the world. Based on BIP per capita, which is a more realistic assessment Uk is 25th - on a par with G...

Re: This Europe referendum malarkey

Uk will not come out of the EU even if the Referendum makes a majority vote to Brexit. Unlike most of the EU member states , UK does not have a constitution and as such the government is not obliged to accept the vote. The only way that the relevant clause can be invoked is through parliament. Prese...

Yes, i forgot the new ruling. Makes no particular difference though. Except of course, if Britain leaves the EU. Then most likely the 6 month rule will apply.

Re: Taking the moggie to France

If this system is the same in France as it is here, then you can apply for a separate registration where the number plates are red - the restriction being as you say but also for recognised classic events further afield. The tax is then cheaper - for a normal "historic" vehicle I am oblige...
