matters not if dynamo or alternator they are both driven by the same belt,take it off and start engine to see if noise goes.

dosent sound like pinking to me , More like tappets. Could be the alternator/dynamo. /water pump. Take fan belt off and see if it goes. Mormally/unless wildly over advanced the only time you hear pinking is on acceleration or full throttle up a hill when the engine is under heavy loading.

I would wait till they were cutting lawns and then switch the comp on then counter compalain if they they do.I mean come on how often do you put your comp on bet not twice a week ,some people have nothing better to do they need to get a life.

it would pay to run a feed from solenoid ign terminal and touch other end to battery to by pass ign switch and see if the starter engages switches are known to be faulty,I would do this before pulling starter out.

before you buy a starter or even go any further,explain how you have checked the battery ,if with a meter what were the readings. Looks like starter motor but just to be sure.

not sure if you understand how the clutch works, so ......................With the car parked in neutral and the engine running with the clutch out the engine is turning the first motion shaft which is in turn, turning the gearbox internals but not the gear cogs. Once the clutch is pressed the first...

been round the Paris route a few times the first one of two being a nightmare,but a lorry driver put me wise as to how it works....... He said it was basically a Catherine wheel spiral,when you enter it you NEED to know how many exit there are until you are approaching the one you want to leave ie i...

tom roys had them a while back,worth a ring

Can't imagine why but can see exactly what the message will be

I seem to remember that one of the reasons for introducing the exemption was that stats taken from M O T tests showed that there was a negligible failure rate on classics compared to moderns .Therefore there should be no change in the accident rate as a result.In my 34 years in the police starting i...

use the acid and then spray waxoil into the section,its about as good a result as you can expect for long term protection,I believe you need to wash the acid off after it has converted the rust to clear the painted area since the residue effects the paint /sealer bonding.

[quot all my sills have these cover panels but this front drivers side was the only one with visible holes after attacking with a screwdriver. Hopefully they are all in good shape but as a daily car i wont go uncovering them to make sure. /quote] The sill inside this bodge MAY be in a worse conditio...

not sure about the pcv valve . any oil blown past the rings would be burnt in the cylinders ,any passing the valve stems would just run back into the sump. The valve is there to remove any excess crankcase pressure via blow past the pistons,and to prevent oil leakage from seals since in a good engin...

probably have to make one.A blob of black tiger seal may do it.

my old 55 ser 11 had been waxoiled every year by previous owner(Used waxoil with clean engine oil added to make it more spray able) he had it from new,I aquired it in 1980,and apart from an area under the heat shield,where it was difficult to get oil to ,The whole underside was untouched by a welder...

half way down posts Was about to suggest you have a look at this,its very easy to fit it wrongly ,even experienced owners have done so.

if you do decide to cut out the sections and replace with new make sure you weld a good strong bar across the lower part of the a and b post, If you don't the gap at the bottom of the frame WILL distort.
