It's a lucas. Cleaned and checked rotor arm, no problems found. Just got back from a short break away covering over 400 miles , car didn't miss a beat!! Very pleased!

Hi Pete When I checked rotor the end was a bit black, will clean and change if it happens again thanks for advice

I was driving along at a steady 50 to 60 mph when after about 20 miles the car gave a sudden jolt and lost all power for a fraction of a second, then carried on as normal. Then did it again about 3 miles later. I stopped, checked plug leads ect found nothing amiss. Then drove anther 25 miles without any trouble. Anyone got any ideas what has caused this?

Hi all I had a 1500 engine which I stored in garage for 20+ years, regularly squirted engine oil down the bores. Fitted in my spitfire 4 years ago, it has run like a dream ever since!

Hi Make sure you turn both screws exactly the same amount, or else you will upset the balance of the carbs

Folded, then welded under quarterlights and spots near door locks and upper hinge. They were brazed by the factory, you will find the spots of braze if you remove the skin. Don't weld until refitted to car and you are sure the door fits correctly and not distorted.

Hello Paul They look original to me. If replacing just the bottoms be careful with heat distortion, may be easier to fit new skins! Good luck Paul

Hi all I have just dismantled my front suspension, a strut insert was leaking. Comparing the size of the new and old strut inserts, the new ones are about an inch shorter and a smaller diameter. Will this cause a problem? (see picture lower insert is the new one)Any advice gratefully received.

You could line the walls in plasterboard, but insulate first with rockwool or cellotex.. Plasterboard is cheaper than ply

Up date The problem is now solved, due to weak mixture, due to MOT man 'adjusting' carbs. (I checked plugs and they were spotlessly clean.) Car now running like a dream

Hi John Yes all done , they spot on thanks

Hi Pete jets are fully returning, I have just topped up dash pots. Could it need stronger carb piston springs? Thanks Paul

Hi all My 2500 TC saloon is running very lumpy/jerky on overrun and low revs. At 25-30 mph in 4th gear the car shudders/hunts, if I drop down to 3rd it's ok At higher revs or at motorway speeds it runs very well indeed. The car has a pertronix electronic ignition, rebuilt distributor, recon cylinder head, rebuilt carbs , a chris witor camshaft, new timing chain and sprockets. I think it's a carb issue, anyone got any ideas? Thank you

Hello Could be the voltage stabiliser on the back of the speedo. Does the temp gauge go up with engine revs, does the fuel gauge go up as well? If so it's the stabiliser Hope this helps
