Hi. When I had mine fitted the spot we found where there were hole in the bulk head with the correct spacing was by the side of the battery box. We were not sure if it was supposed to go on the inside or outside of the bulk head though. Will add a pic when I can

I read somewhere that if you have one of the original units it's better to get them rebuilt as they last a lot longer Can someone confirm? Thx

So what are the symptoms if the oil is low? I must admit I have not checked this on a while Aidan

With respect to the dash pots how do you know how much to put in? Can they be over filled?? Thx

Also glad to hear Owen is better Can't agree more about how helpful he is and has been to me Aidan

If you are going to fit gas struts this raises the bonnet a little higher than on the stay Aidan

I'd bench test the starter if you have some old jump leads and a battery. If it spins well (please ensure its well held down in a vice). If it spins well then it's the wiring if not then I'd suggest a reconditioned unit Aidan

Hi Cliff. I read on a thread somewhere that higher pressures were better for today's tyres and not to use 24. I'm not sure on this but it certainly improves the tug of war with the steering wheel! I have some six year old tyres that I'm trying to wear out anyway! Aidan

There are outside use car bubbles outlay at the start but knowing storage costs it will pay for itself in a year eg http://www.carcapsule.co.uk/ I have an indoor one Aidan

You don't want the type that heats just the one that circulates air through a desiccant As Doug says pretty cheap on eBay. If it comes with an option to drain though a tube it's better as you don't have to keep emptying the tray. Mine is an 8 litre a day model Aidan

Hi #again, when I looked in to this it was not so much the fact the air is being dehumidified and more the fact that air is being circulated - My problem was the garage was just too damp being built in to the side of a hil. I suggest an experiment with just an ordinary desk fan to start and see if that resolves the problem you have In terms of a cover it does hot stop damp air getting to the car, being breathable means it allow air to get to the car, it does not dry it on the way through the material ! Aidan

I use a dehumidifierin my garage. They are cheap to buy and run and keeps condensation at bay. It came with a length of tubing for drainage Aidan

The guy who owns park lane classics advises the use of one of the bostic range. I can't remember the name but it's in a purple tube. Give him a call he was very helpful to me Aidan

Sorry euan typing on this plays havoc with its spell check!!!!

Doan. It may be the descriptions above that have fooled you a bit. The seal fits around the door aperture no the door itself. I can't believe your car would not have any it would be pretty drafty. !!!

I drilled and grpmmeted the rear plates to get the new ones in. A bit of a pain to do but easier than pulling the hubs ( unless of course you have the puller everyone recommends you use. This is all on another thread somewhere. ????

Yes you have to remove the front hubs. I can't remember if you had to chamfer the stud head on the landy ones to fit. The jigsaw ones are the same pattern as the originals Aidan

Hi. It was a recommendation I took up. Good quality 7/16 ones I got from jigsaw. They do extended length ones to. I believe 12 mm ones are readily available but need a bit of fettling I'm sure others can advise on this. Not sure what the offset is but the pcd is 95.25 Aidan

Pete Will you be adding an in-line fuse on the circuit? I have been looking at this but was wondering if a 10A or 15A fuse would be better Aidan

They arrived today and are in surprisingly good condition. Elastic is still good to so they can be fitted as standard. I am also thinking of the Crystal upgrade that's on another thread so they can stay cosy in the garage till spring! Aidan

Thanks for all the information links and thoughts I have managed to pick some up from fleabay for under £20 including delivery and I am quite happy with that Richard, hmm 27/6 new have I over paid???!! Ha Ha that's £1.37.5p ..........that's inflation for you!! Mishmosh - I will try your method of attachment as well when summer arrives and we travel for the first time to France in the GT6 for our holiday Thanks again Aidan

Hi Sorry no idea on the rimmers part but I recovered mine with a kit and advice from Park Lane Classics. It cost no more than about 30 pounds and was excellent You don't need any great skill to do it Aidan

Hi Pete. Are you using the same bulbs? Aidan

Blimey ! I know clearing my drain plug aperture last year was sun and games, it also had not been opened up for a long time, but I didn't find anything like that! Just good old rock solid calcium deposits from the south east where the car originated! It will be interesting to see if it has any impact on how much cooler the engine runs. Aidan
