If I recall correctly, the prop will spin all day, untill 4 wheel drive is needed. Only then does it play a role to the rear.

I've owned the motor since 2011 and its been one of the best cars i have ever had. That said it has been well looked after, as any one searching my posts will see. It is going to be very hard to part with this. Cheers all.

Hello all. As i have always opened my posts. As I'm 64 and have advanced health issues, when the clutch pedal went to the floor almost, I was gutted. I was aware, that as there was no loss of fluid at the master cylinder at the pedal. looking up inside the car. It must be the slave cylinder...

I have in the past, had an issue with brakes seizing, even though the caliper is free and working. I found it to be the flexible hoses that had collapsed internally, acting like a one way valve. Letting pressure to be applied when pressing the pedal, but not letting it off when the pedal is...

Hi Alibro. As it goes, my straps have arrived. The ones andyfreelandy linked. Thanks for the offer though. What I,m looking to do, Is fit these without dropping the rear assembly. Do you know if this is possible? My thinking is, with the tank close to empty, carefully take out one side of the...

Thanks Andy. As an old Coach Builder and who has access to decent pit and workshop facilities, thought I would give it a go. But as always, welcome any advice from yourself. I definitely do not know it all!! My thought was to take out one side with a thin blade grinder. Then fix that sides...

Big thanks for your time on this Andy. There ordered. Not an urgent job, but needs in the near future. Better than dropping the rear frame to do the job. Thanks.

Hello all. Thanks for the links, But the straps are £56.00 and the postage is £500.00. Is this just me?

Hello all. And thanks for all replies. Will look at all suggestions posted. Thanks for your time on this. Cheers. Gary.

Hello all. My ask is, has any one come across a weather/ice cover, for want of a better description that would suit an FL1. Mine is parked under tree,s over night and catches all the sap and seeds or what ever falls off them. This is only going to block up the drain system for the sun roof and...

Thanks all. Im going with the Halfords oil. That way I dont have to stay waiting for a delivery . Thanks all.

As always. Thanks for your prompt replies. As its once a year I dont mind putting some decent oil in it, but always open to advice. Cheers.

Hello all. As it goes I do a full service of filters an engine oil every April. Even though I only do 4/5000 mls a year, if that. Looking online, My usual 5w40 fully synth Shell stuff is coming out at £38.00 . That said, Halfords do a 5w40..f/synth code 285654. for diesels at £26.00. Claiming...

Thanks Andy. Did the job today. I made it more difficult in my head , than doing. Not hard to do really. Good advice though! And, Parts link. Cheers Gary.

Thanks for the prompt reply and tips on how. I'll refer to the manual on how to take apart the steering wheel also. Would it be wise to mark the wheels position before removal? Can this be done? Will try the rear tailgate tomorrow. Thanks Andy.

Sorry. Should mention, I do have a Haynes manual and will refer to it. There good but, would rather ask here first. Cheers.

Hello all. As above really. I have read some archive threads on it, and they refer to a clock spring? I take it that this resides in the steering wheel and makes a connection as the steering wheel turns? The threads also mention using connectors not in use like the CC. Would the clock spring...

Thanks all for your comments. Just looked at the original image. Any one spot the WWI shell timer in the bottom right of the pic, found at Passchendaele that one. Take care and a good New Year to all. Gary.

Hi andyfreelandy. Glad you and yours got back safe. What I am at a loss to get my head around, is some of the comments made?? Why do people go out of there way to post this stuff? Pointless waste of time that no one takes any notice of. It is sad. And you can only hope they get the real help...
