Its certainly looking like a spin off now.. The car has been inactive for over 6 months - it has had body work done and it has been at the workshop over the winter They did the job between other more urgent projects. It suited me as my garage was empty for the winter. However this inactivity has pos...

John Thanks for your reply, (and all the others) I was beginning to think it was me I dread oil change time - This is exactly the problem I am having, the large seal is leaking and they are not available seperatly. If you take off the adaptor it is a devil of a job getting it to re-seal - too slack ...

My system also appears to have developed a leak around the seal...

Mislead the public? TV? Surely not On Wheeler Dealers the person they "buy" the classic off is one of the crew, as is the person they sell it to. On Homes Under The hammer and other such programmes we are led to believe that new kitchens bathrooms central heating can all be done for ?5,000 - it can'...

Christpher: many thanks for speedy response. I will try this today. The speedo is "lazy" it over-reads by about 20% and is often showing 30 MPH for a few seconds even when at standstill. Someone mentioned lubricating the cable, how would this be done? If it is speedo cable will leave for now as I in...

I have a series 1 FHC and it has developed a noise from the front right corner when on the move. It is like something is catching at start off then as speed builds up it becomes constant. Breaking does not stop it. I have removed the wheels and cannot replicate it by rotating the wheel the bearings ...
