Re: The biscuit tin !

The worst thing about bits hanging around for years, tripping over them or stirring you in the face for years is that the day you want it they disappear just like magic. In the end you buy a new one and guess what happens. It uncloaks itself. Black magic is what I call it.πŸ˜€πŸ˜ PS. I have worked out. E...

Re: Electric Power Steering

Hi, I fitted the EZ system a couple of years back on a S1 and would would recommend it. It was relatively easy to fit and can be done in half a day. As far as i know it is not adjustable and works off your speed and cut out at about 25mph. If you are going around a long bend at around 25mph you can ...

Re: Clutch slave cylinder

After a clutch failure last year i did use a kit to try and solve the problem. However with fluid passing the piston seal i am assuming either cylinder is worn or the seal was not up to standard. For the price of a new slave cylinder i would replace the lot as i am going down to Southampton in a cou...

Re: Happy Christmas and where are the lights?

I will go with that. Happy Christmas everyone and lets hope the New Year gives us a chance to get together. Preferable up North. If you are really interested I will get off my bum and organise something.

Re: E10 in my fuel tank!

I think it is standard for an E Type to need a lot of turning over when they have not been used for some length of time. I presume it is getting fuel into the carbs that takes the time. After that then they start very easy hot or cold. Just my experience.

Congratulation Simon. Some hard work gone into that and well deserved. Now you just need someone to pay you loads of money for using it so you can get your E Type. πŸ˜€πŸ‘

The price of Chips

I was thinking I might take little ride out into Cheshire for a classic car show as I had little to do and nothing planned. Checked on the route and it was 50 miles away. So that worked out 100 miles return trip. Assuming my car will get me 25m/ gallon it is going to cost me circa Β£40 for fuel. I de...

Lost me on this one. Apart from the colour, what is not to like? Colour is a personal choice. Sticking my neck out, what is wrong with the horn push. πŸ˜€
