    Squealing like a pig

    Hi, after a bit of advice if possible. My IIA is squealing like a pig when accelerating through the gears, particularly bad in 3rd. Will stop briefly when in overdrive but starts again. Doesn't happen all the time, just when it feels like it apparently. I'm guessing this is a fan belt issue...

    Not so long ago I was having a nightmare deciding what colour to paint my IIA, so I drew myself a picture that I could trial colours on before I painted the entire vehicle the wrong colour. Anyway, I thought there might be others having the same problem so I've attached a couple of jpegs for...

    After some door advice plz

    I'm after both currently, mine aren't the originals and are shot to pieces so thought I'd go all out and get the full set. Rocky Mountain does look like the way to go for the tops, although I am slightly confused by the difference between the outback door tops (399.00) and the series door tops...

    After some door advice plz

    Hey, when it comes to buying brand new doors where's the best place to go? Considering quality and value for money. I've heard good things about Rocky Mountain spares but they do seem quite pricey. Does anyone have any experience with them/vouch for them? Also places like paddock have a good...

    Hardtop colours please

    Thanks for the replies - looks like limestone is the winner. I've been in two minds for a while as to whether to paint all the whole thing, half of me is itching to do it, the other half doesn't want to paint over a lifetime of use. Also concerned that if I paint it well I won't want to take it...

    Hardtop colours please

    I have been swaying that way, it seems like the sensible choice. Anything else might look a bit too showy. What're your thoughts on limestone side panels, but black top?

    Hardtop colours please

    Any suggestions for what colour to paint my hardtop? I can't make my mind up and I'm never going to be able to colour match the rest of the bodywork

    Series IIA starter motor

    Thanks James, thought that might be a logical solution. Is there nothing on the existing starter thats worth taking a crack at or would I be wasting my time? Also any good leads on finding a decent replacement? Had a quick look on eBay and nothings jumping out at me. Thanks again!

    Series IIA starter motor

    Hello, I'm new and need help! I currently own an LPG converted (not by me) 1964 Series IIA, and up until last week have never had a problem with it. I presume down to luck rather than my mechanical abilities. She's called Deedee. Long story short I made the decision to move my 100L LPG tank...
