Treat it to a lovely capillary gauge, that way you'll have real info on actual oil pressure [which you may not like!] stick with the oil light and it just tells you when it's to late! Also you can tap it to suit the "sender" or if that's to fu**ed to the next size adaptor - Durite probably your...

Please don't be offended, but are you using choke? If so you are remembering to push it back in? Basic I know but best to start right at the beginning! welcome btw

Standard height suspension best - this is a restoration yes? Well done - pictures would be nice............

penny drops! you're from the wrong side!

original is the main thing with any classic long term investment - so if that's important to you [and it ought to be] then keep it EXACTLY as it left the factory. Any conversion that you may find suits you now almost certainly will de-value it in the long run - so choice is...

Welcome - and good luck!

Welcome to you and Lenny!

And James Deans Speedster was taken on tour. But this particular RRC is actually part of the history and [some] of the culture of Essex at that time, so if the OP has an interest that's fine - doubt it'll wind up at Gaydon though!

Welcome, a nice story - any photographs?

Matter of opinion what is or isn't "historically important" Cromwells lot were no doubt a violent gang but there are plenty of preserved artifacts - or in other words, each to there own.

Well............. could be said any classic vehicle with history [whether good or bad] is worth preserving.................

This happened a lot with all the coverage of the last Defender off the production line - my theory is that Jaguar Land Rover do not want ANY publicity/coverage/media that describes the "Land Rover" as being out of production - in other words "Defender" now applies to all "classic" shape LR, so...

Just don't add it up!

Certain future classic or excellent engine donor for a hot 90 or series. Located near Diss on the Norfolk/Suffolk border. Soon to be listed on e-bay but thought I'd offer it here 1st - 2001 [early, one of the first] Jaguar 3.0 litre Sport. Manual, bright red with cream leather. Fully loaded with...

LOTS, LOTS, LOTS of work and you'll wind up with a bit of a pig - it's not just engine swop, it's transmission, brakes, etc. etc. etc. Then virtually un-insurable.............. If you want a fast, tough, large 4x4 go on holiday to the states, buy the best 1980's Chevy Blazer you can find and...

NO!!! Are they reading this as well as my e-mails, post and bugging my house!???

So it's coming here that's made me PARANOID???????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll have to be sure all those people WHO ARE talking about me and plotting don't find out............................

I'm sure it'll be fine - thanks to all on here far better informed than me - you're going well armed, good luck,

Excellent - but still be sure to double check and clap eyes on it yourself when you get there - [just in case that's not actually a picture of "your" prop!] I knew a fella who bought a BMW 2002 at a [static] classic car auction, having paid he jumped in and found the gearstick was not actually...

DO NOT GIVE UP! This is just a case of you becoming accustomed to it. IIRC it has done hardly any miles in the last few years, it needs a full service, fuses need cleaning, contacts as well. Dim lights were a standard feature, easy fix and you'll need to change them anyway - changing down for...
