Just say the word mate and I’ll be over with a crate of decent red...

Chris, thanks for your kind words. I love the spirit in how you use your car - a lesson to us all!

Rory, I want first refusal on that when you’ve finished with it. I’ll come over and collect.

Bearing in mind the recent concerns regarding clutches, might be worth plumbing it in?

Yep, seen it in an untouched car (S2 2+2)

I wouldn't trust the studs on a long stud engine. The more you can use the better!

Bet it is the remnants of the roof lining side trim.

It’s all we fit.

Hi Ross,

I'm going to sound a bit like a typical parts supplier here but..... I've never had a problem reported like this but wouldn't rule it out.

If there is anything we can help with, please let me know (if our caliper is faulty, we will replace it).

Period detail not very good

Depends on how early the car is. The early ones had a spring that held the cable away. Later on, there was an oval with a grommet that the cable passes through.

I thought concourse was a walkway!

Make sure the engine frame bolts are tight (particularly on the bulkhead).

We never seal them as the flanges are painted plus the reason Christopher stated. They need to 'breathe'. IIRC. when they were new, there was little of no paint in between these flanges.

Better car lighting have produced a complete PL headlight using LEDs I believe. It might be worth giving Gil a ring on 01789576102.

and that is the exact reason for owning/buying one. I am not seeing a major price correction on the cars we deal with. I also see the right cars being sold for very good money - they aren't normally advertised. The normal rubbish that gets hawked around auction/auction sites will always be hard to s...

Sad times indeed Chris. We were due to take a leisurely drive down to Italy to watch the MM again this year and it was great fun booking everything and working out the route last year. It was equally sad to be cancelling everything though. Lets just hope that we don't forget these times and remember...

I wouldn’t recommend changing to silicone at this point. People have had problems with seals swelling. We only use silicone on our restorations as everything has been replaced or rebuilt. Swapping out the servo is no big deal, bleeding the brakes could be.

I don't know Simon. I agree, I would have thought it would be aircon but it would be unusual to use the standard flap vents inside the car. I can't see the compressor etc and there is no mention of it in the sales literature.
