Too shiny

The only bit that shiny in Lechwurth is the invoice ‘PRINT’ key. In Angus’s defence, he supports charity and gives food and shelter to the needy. I’ve often been given Bed & Bacon buttie and been encouraged to use the shower...

TBH I thought Marcel was talking about Moss Jaguar the new name for XKs Unlimited, not our beloved Squadron Leader. I wouldn’t knowingly have undersold Letchworth’s answer to Douglas Bader... I also wouldn’t have answered in my (rusty) native Flemish if I hadn’t seen Marcel’s Dutch surname. As for t...

Touch of negative camber on the right side there, or are you contemplating ('plating' geddit?) high-speed towing? Somehow, I experience cognitive dissonance associating you with anything slow or average... No wonder France suits you. As for tilting, the Italians beat you to it with the Pendolino :sa...

As Steve said, the T5 adapter plate can (and often does) foul the standard release fork before the end of its stroke. This happens most often with T5 conversions because that box is so wide in the upper front area where the top bolts attach. It's a PITA to rasp away the alloy plate to make a notch i...

Dag Marcel. Het is waarschijnlijk makkelijker om het C15949 onderdeel bij uw in Nederland te kopen van SNG Barratt. Darom hebben ze daar een winkel.....!

Goede kans.

This has been (continues to be) an interesting thread in terms of decision-making and other aspects that relate to market making, medical diagnosis, trouble-shooting in general and even relationships. Since we're all stuck indoors, it might be worth a sideways look. The title of the thread says wher...

What happened when you ran it with the resistor plugs?

I doubt it's the fuel gone stale in a new tank after only six months in a dry garage, in a temperate climate, especially since the car starts and runs.

It's interesting - and a very common plot line - how an unusual but shared stimulus brings out a range of reactions reflecting a wide spectrum of character traits. There's an 'enemy' threatening our comfortable way of life. Because such struggles are a recurring theme in history we have organized ou...

“... all I can imagine is that the new (slightly longer) seal track is forcing the oil slinger onto the timing chain.” Doesn’t make sense, sorry. The slinger sits against the sprocket no matter what length of spacer you use. So the noise cannot have been a change in distance between chain and a sli...

Bruggen glacier, Chilean Fijords: https://i.postimg.cc/RVXBb2bb/P1300829.jpg Give Jill my love David. Nottinghamshire’s answer to Susan Sarandon. Most E-type wives just have to put up with hubby in the garage the whole time. Jill has to watch you down in the garden every Saturday pruning the next w...

I assumed Johnny was talking about touching the inside of the rim, not the hub?

Well Rory its a Norton Featherbed frame - sorry Barrie Maybe but when did you last see a water cooled, 2 stroke twin mounted in one?? :scratchheadyellow: :lol: Around 1978 at Freddy Marriott ‘s shop in Birkenhead. The McCandless featherbed begat the Seeley, which begat the Spondon which begat the S...

Perfectly beveled jig corners - weep! Mine aren’t that nice when I’m framing a picture.

I suppose you’re good looking and excel at sports as well?

Someone was asking for Covid-activity news.

Remember, we've been on shut-down for longer than the UK

You can have a different teaser every day, while this lasts ...............

So this is your pneumatic Dolly project: Part one. not to be confused with a rumoured pneumatic Dolly Parton project?

I don't count myself an electronics expert by any means, but I have fairly often used electronic ignition since the Boyer-Bransden modules came out for British twins in the late 1960s. It is my experience, FWIW, that apart from iffy voltage supply and/or heavy RF 'noise' affecting things, it is in t...

Hello Everyone I am throwing this one out for any thoughts people might have. My problem is that I have absolutely no confidence in the handling. My daily driver is a 530d M Sport BMW, which has unbelieveable performance and handling...... In a straight line it's great, but it breaks away very easi...

For judder check the engine and rear transmission mounts. Try starting in second to see if there’s any difference. A good V12 can go from 0-150 in top gear, as salespeople in the 1970s would gleefully demonstrate, given the right road...

The home made linkage may not be the best, I saw the guy selling linkages at Stoneleigh years ago, but he had sold out and it was my last visit before emigrating. My linkage was made from scrap pieces of metal, ….much cheaper than finding an original manual, remember I was converting from auto. Any...
