Re: Looking for a place to leave a Merc for 3 days
Morning guys, Yesterday evening he said he‘d put the car on one of the places I searched for him, pay it via an app ?, go into London and stay there for 5 days. I also asked the Imp community, they had some ideas like paid public parking places- I think this is where he got the idea from - hope it a...

Looking for a place to leave a Merc for 3 days
Hey guys, My son, 19, is approaching London, coming from Bristol. He wants to stay a few days in London, but our Merc is too old to get into the congestion zone. I tried years ago and it was hell‘ o‘ expensive. So, the plan is to find a place for them to stay for maybe two days, then leave the car t...

Along with at least 40 other passengers of the same flight (we created a whatsapp group)- it's all gone, no one knows where it is. Total chaos reigns on site in EDI, 100s of suitcases are st...

Re: Urgent / Help needed in Edinburgh. Anybody near ?
Current status is maybe 5-10.000 bags in disorder at the airport, waiting for them to sort them in heaps per flight and calling us to come over. We managed to buy some food plus toothbrush etc, but Susanne could not stand the stuff sold in the major clothing stores so we skipped that for now at leas...

Re: Urgent / Help needed in Edinburgh. Anybody near ?
I found a lost adapter under the bed trying to manipulate a german charger in a brit socket. So we have one now, but had you seen the mess at the airport… 100s of bags in heaps, some having 2 weeks old tags, 700 clueless people, unwilling police, no service no officials no nothing. I am so angry and...

Re: Girling Power Stop 5204 in D-Type ?
Hi, I tried to join, but did not get any response yet. Here are some pictures- as you can see, your feet are in some kind of tunnel, where the pedals are. On top of the tunnel there is an arm which actuates a cylinder which actuates 2 cylinders, and that setup can be adjusted. Hard to describe, easy...

Re: Girling Power Stop 5204 in D-Type ?
Ok I was now told that a standard E Type servo would not fit in the chassis of the D, so they fitted a normal master brake cylinder with 2 outlets. And put two 5204 units into the sill, which get actuated by the two master cyl outlets. How is a „normal“ D type replica constructed - is this the „norm...

Re: Girling Power Stop 5204 in D-Type ?
Hey guys, Thats interesting. I will get pictures of their installation. The car belongs to PS Speicher, Europe‘s biggest vehicle collection. Its basically a Lynx I think, was an E- Type S2 coupe former in its life, and has an alloy body. We talked about it ages ago I think. Did I not upload pictures...

Girling Power Stop 5204 in D-Type ?
Morning,
A friend of mine has problems with his alloy D-Type replica.
He says both brake servos are more or less defective / rotten, and said they are Power Stop 5204 units, 2 of them.
They seem to be rather expensive- any advice where to buy, or send them away to be overhauled ?

Moin Sepp,
There are some other germans around in this place, even with S 1 2+2 cars, albeit mine is a year older than your daily…
Schöne Grüße,
