At some point I will be indulging in a TIG welder. Thats the first job... Many thanks for this.

Totally. You cannot even put different wheels on the car without them adding a premium to the insurance price. Any modification versus how my car arrived from the dealer 23 years ago is considered a modified vehicle.

Sure if I was towing a horse float and I was desperately concerned about accelerating up every hill, but in a car that is designed to tow 140% of its weight, that will have just one man, three dogs and some clothes in it this will not be an...

I may have accidentally added flappy paddles to the TD6. Bit time consuming but not difficult and is definitely a nice addition. Its one thing I missed compared to my other car. Occasionally having a semi manual control over the box is a good...

So true, if the 8 speed did not have the 2.76 ratio differential that I was considering using. So the 2.76 ratio differential is ok in the 8 speed where the second highest gear is 1:1 ratio but not ok in my 5 speed where the second highest gear...

I learnt the hard way to never say where she can hear you that she's been good lately.... 😂😂

Do you reckon OP will be wearing Lycra while doing this? Might help his crazy diff change idea

It would be best for the optimal ignoring, however, I keep it there to ensure others are ignoring including myself! Doh!

MOT'd the G4. No advisories but the horn clock spring wire went open circuit on way to MOT so had to replace the clock spring. It passed OK then !!

Cubby box is in, tightenedbthe thread rivets a little bit better, now you can lift the car on the box! Looks nice, if you ask me!

You forgot skin tight Lycra. Plus on a bike you don’t stop for traffic lights

Cost cutting on materials and the process. Cheaper materials and the bare minimum work means it’s not a permanent solution.. but 3 years down the line it’ll be a different team in the council and won’t be their problem any more. They can only...

Retired for 21 years but still paying my taxes :( What I can never understand is why the repairs don't last, is it shoddy workmanship or cost cutting on materials? When the Yanks built air-bases here during WW2 they used huge machines that...

The roof? Just a thought if thay used sea foam and it dried on in hot sunshine

Rails of correct section available from YRM. A mate fitted a gas strut on his, says it is nice door can remain open on a side slope or in wind. However when he opens door a bit off it goes flying to a crash as it stop, you have to hang on to it...

Correct. I misunderstood the OPs request. I 'think' les Edwards at classic rides fiddles with oe radios a bit.

This was an abandoned project of my eldest son. Everything else has beeen repaired or replaced including new chassis. I am rebuilding with another son. Almost complete. On another note, I have seen comments regarding the rear check strap. Has...

Was it like it before the clean ? THAY may have used the wrong stuff or to aggressive cleaner

you should look at the gear ratios, in the 5 speed 4th is 1 to 1, in the 8 speed 7 is 1to1, the later box may have 8 gears but thats only to fil in the spaces between the 5 speed to make changing even smother, the manual 6th gear is a lower gear...

Don't spend it all at once.

... A bit unhappy to find that the bonnet paintwork on the old P38 is a bit "rough". I had the car cleaned inside & out today and brought it home and the top on the bonnet is all gnarly and "pitted" feeling. :( There's "spots" on it too like the...

The Maldives daily news paper A government spokesman Mr Rekoj stated that a attempt to install a new reef one mile from Mali the capital has failed the coral pollops did not adhere to the vehicles thay where striped of all plastics all fluids...

If you were right then everybody would drive at the maximum speed on the highway in a lower gear than top gear. For example in your eight speed Range Rover you would shift down to seventh gear or even into sixth gear, for lower torque. No one...

Worth every penny of our taxes. Really makes me proud to be working!
