Dear Mr Cam, Don't know if you got sorted, but if not, have you seen the SLEMCKA dehumidifiers being sold by Woolworths' under the name of Tranquility Air? They're about 12in highx10inx8in and say they'll remove 350cc per day and hold 1litre capacity before needing to be emptied. Apparently they wer...

My BMC workshop manual says (at page n.4) that for the Lucas Model C39PV/2 dynos the output is 17 amps at 16 volts on a load of 0.8 ohms without regulator (total 272 watts). Presumably the C40 is equal or better. In practice, my C40 drove six 6 watt side lights inc number plate (36w), five 2.2w (11w...

Cor,Bmceccosse you carry a spare head? Complete with valves and rockers, I hope! I'll fit the one you sold me in the next few months to see how long an unconverted one lasts with freshly ground valves. The current unconverted head's done 42k miles without additives and is still going strong. (I'm tr...

Headline saying Invalid Session

I've just pressed the SUBMIT button to send a posting to a thread and instead of submitting I get an Invalid Session sign. What have I done wrong? And what does it mean? Regards, MikeN.

And it's only an hour or two at worst to change the head - I have done it at the side of the road!
Wow! I thought my tool box is big, but I can't fit in a spare head. Hey, just a thought - the duff one you took off wasn't the one you flogged me, was it? MikeN.

Not sure what you mean, Tracy. Do you mean sealed beams, ie those where the bulb filaments are contained in a big bulb the size and shape of a headlamp? If so, and hoping this helps, my old sealed beams (fitted in 1963) have the Lucas logo in the centre of the glass face and LH TRAFFIC in the bottom...

But Plastic Orange that's part of the drive to reduce noise. I can't hear speech on my stereo above about 50mph (ie 80dB(A) or loud music above 60mph (ie 85dB(A)); in the latter case the radio volume has to turned up so sound it hurts. To hear road traffic reports I have to slow down. If I could kno...

Thanks for the pointer, Big Ging. I see that Wanadoo website builder is only restricted on size for the home page. Other pages go to 400x something, which will do the trick - when it speeds up enough to do it! Dead slow at the moment. Taa! MikeN.

Sorry, Onne and Bigginger. I'll avoid the offence in future. But Cam is a bit of a Man of Mystery. Was it not Ray O'Fleamington who described his fellow Irishman as a genius in vehicle paintwork? His full name, he said, was Cam O'Uflage. But I digress. I'm trying to get my graph up from postage stam...

I'm fiddling about trying to get a decent sized graph here. But wanadoo will only let me do 220x220pixels which seem too small. Bear with me.Image
