I doubt getting a new tilt would make any difference without a paint job, how rusty are the bulkhead and chassis? is it just the standard 2.286 diesel? surprised that can cope with range rover diffs

nice bunch of trucks there :D

be funny if someone organised a historic smokey diesels day out for the same place as the protest :D I wouldn't drive in London on a bank holiday though, I am sure the place will be gridlocked

pre '73 was where the old system stopped wasn't it (anything over 25 years or whatever it was) that was culled off in the 90's? when they started rolling forward again they took up where the old system left off. so anything '72 should have been historic for a long time and should have been in...

doesn't stop them from lifting the truck away. all these things help to deter the opportunist or encourage someone to look elsewhere but nothing is 100%

just tried my '72 diesel, says I am not subject to the charge

the gear change is all part of the series experience :D

so is it just a shiny gear lever?

I have some spare p what engines but no spare diesels :D

mine is really smokey now, might have to go to petrol :D

turned it round for you :D

iirc policies say - or the ones I read did - the car has to be "roadworthy" they don't mention mot. haven't read one for a few years though, usually nod off after the first paragraph

I bet video footage would have been a good watch :D

just don't use a rav4 https://www.wiltshiretimes.co.uk/news/13341096.vintage-rolls-royce-owner-had-car-for-just-hours-before-it-overturned-on-a350-near-trowbridge/

the led sidelights on my series are brighter and whiter than the headlights, being mot exempt helps too :D

given it a good dousing in brake cleaner and changed the rocker gasket as I had one lying around and it also looked suspect. fingers crossed

apparently corteco hub seals are the ones to buy, just ordered mine from dingocroft and it has just dawned on me I didn't think to order fresh brake shoes :D

just about to do my rear hubs, the shiny shaft is the halfshaft and they just pull out once the drive flange is undone

heard of similar for a clutch that is difficult to bleed, wedge pedal down overnight.
