The captain cured a corner leak in a friends 2000, keep putting it the crack every 30mins till it stops disappearing. Been ok all through this winter and it lives outside. Tony.

It could be some of the reclaimed poo that you can buy.... Usually branded as motorway and always sold in gallon cans. I wouldn't use to top dampers up. Tony.

If you are going really fast enough, it should evaporate on contact Tony. -
Nice work Karl, how is the Golden Dawn Ercol sofa coming along? Tony.
-
It's that Colin bloke causing trouble again Paul. The auto or the manual? Tony.
-
It looks like a genuine MK1 that has just had a bit of a spruce up Paul. I would want to view it first as it needs the front seats repairing circa £800..... and it just lacks finishing. The boot lids tend to pop up when you are driving and are a sod to fix. Also they don't say if the auto box is ok?? I bought one 18mths ago and it's a great car but as with all Stags there is always something to do. Tony.

Have a look at Ford KA Street car seats Jeff, a few people have started using them as they tilt and some are heated.....Also most are leather. Tony,

A lot of people talk that Chris.... Tony.

Surely it would be more difficult if you you had had another foot to get in Doug? Tony.

Welcome to the nut house Jim. I suppose someone has to live in Wednesbury Only joking.... Looking forward to more of your posts and what jobs you have planned.? Tony. -
Hi Mark, You have caught me out there, why i didn't think of them i don't know as it's the son in law of a friend of mine who is also a Triumph owner. I have seen their work and as you say it's excellent. Tony.

http://www.chapmanandcliff.co.uk These people are not to far Mike, not the cheapest but they do a fantastic job. There is a price list on the site. Tony.

The heavy duty ones are easier but as Colin points out they can knacker your paintwork up. That is why i use the finger crunching type. you only do it once though. Tony.
-
Thats the type you want Mike, https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/232275069668?hash=item3614ac4ae4:g:IjcAAOSwuLZYzRiN the ones on Ebay are a lot cheaper and do the same job. Depends if you have a Halfords nearby. Tony.

And me. Tony. -
Some do that Dave, the pulley has fell apart. Just put it back together and zap it up with impact gun as Pete says. Nothing you have done, it's just sods law in action. Tony.
-
You take the car in with you and clean the car at the same time Tony,
-
Is this the five minute argument or the full half hour?? Tony.
-
Poor old Doug gets blamed for everything..... Tony.
-
Just change oil and filter, top up dashpots and give it a run to the garage for fuel. The noise's should soon disappear. Tony.
-
I have seen Dentmaster remove bigger dents than that without repainting. Some of those guy's work miracles. And from memory don't charge for a quote. Tony.
-
I would check all levels before running Adrian, including dashpot levels on carbs as this could cause bad running. as for a couple of drips now again, don't worry about it. Also have you changed the oil and filter? That is important. The slight rub will possibly be rust on the brakes which will disappear with use. Tony.

Spitfire 1500 severe overheating but NOT an evident coolant system fault
poppyman replied to Colin Lindsay's topic in Engine
Sounds like a blocked rad Colin, for some reason they always seem to block in a circle from the centre of the fan. You can feel it with the engine off, cold in the centre. Also a bad airlock can can cause problems. Retarded timing usually causes overheating. So same as Clive really. Tony.
