Re: seat repair

Re: Extra rattle

Congratulations to all who said it could be a gasket or the timing chain. Pat yourselves on the back guys! The timing chain is rattling a bit and the ubiquitous oil leak visible on the drive is from its gasket! There is also a failing gasket on the inlet manifold. Of to get a duplex set and lots of ...

Re: Extra rattle

Thanks. Unfortunately due to problem eyesight - yes I am legal to drive! - I will have to get that checked. I’ve heard pinking before and I’m pretty sure it isn’t that. Will post a reply, soon. M

Extra rattle

I’ve had a 10,000 mile service done 4 months ago, the tappets checked and adjusted and this has occurred since. I can’t see anything loose in the engine bay, and surel...

Re: Boot badge on 1955 minor
