katie.Honestly don't bother with any additives I have had my split screen for 25 years, (About 90thous mile) and when leaded was removed just used unleaded since that time. I've had to adjust the tappet clearences two of three times . Last year I had the engine out to have a look at the bearings and...

katie If you have a look underneath you will see where the reinforcing u shaped bracket is where the seat bolts come through I think you will find that you can gain an inch or so by drilling a new hole and putting a nut on the bolt. However then the seat would probably be too far forwards for you,As...

I'll tell you now(Having been there three times) the replacement rubbers are more than useless,they do not fit,the slots are too tight and they don't close up onto the car frame at the corners,and therfore don't seal properly ,its time the suppliers did something about getting a better pat ern.There...

try pulling the choke out a bit and see if that improves it.Then you know its fuel related.

Katie I replied earlier but its gone somewhere. The coil will get hot if the ignition is left on without the engine running. In simple terms the coil stores and builds up energy to fire a charge down the plug leads to create a spark at the pug tips. It holds this energy until the points open and the...

roy spot on only legal if you only drive the car now and again don';t do it, full of pitfalls for instance if you were stopped and had a defect on the vehicle like worn tyre not only do you get done but your mother as well since she is the owners(Has to be to insure it)and is done for permitting or ...

impossible to say untill they are on the car under load,could by ok could be sagging and done for. If I was doing a rebuild for the cost of the springs about £ 30 each I would change them But your call Certainly wouldn't want to fit them and then have to take them off again.You're probably going to ...

katie,pull the lead from the coil (Middle one)Out of the distributor and take off the distrbutor cap ,Hold the free end of the lead with insulated plier close to the engine block but not touching make sure the points are closed by turning the engine (Use the fan blades)and with a screw driver push t...

katie, depends on how much of the car needs doing,usually the roof and bonnet can be just polished up,Im in eaglescliffe near stockton if you want me to have a look at yours pm me and get it to me,If its just wings and door or doors and you buy all the material,I'll spray them over for you for about...

one thing to consider is if you will be using it outside,If most of your welding is to be done outside you need to use the gas less type because if not then you will be limited to windless days,If its windy then the wind blows the gas off the weld and you can get poor quality welds.I have both types...

did RH last month £72 fullycomp,windscreen cover unlimited milage 30 days eu cover windcsreen cover,breakdown,buy back salvage.beat every other cover

if they were new springs not just old reshaped and temperd(Not worth the bother)they should last for years,get back onto the dealer and talk to him about warrantees etc.

are they nankings by chance,got a similar deal from tom roys last month,The only thing I found was that they were a bit soft walled and I had to put 29psi to stop an anoying bouncyness.When I pushed on the back you could see the rear bounce three or four times,but with the car on the trolly no sign,...

reverse chroming that must be why both my front and rear hinges pitted after about 18 months and only done 150 miles and dry stored inside,Must be a secret electrical connection for the heating element fitted to stop them frosting up in winter

yes same,just done mine,vast improvement over7".

is there any benefit from a telescopic conversion my rear lever arms are about shot and i'm considering a conversion.Cheers.
