    Why do I need to really, really, SLAM home the driver’s door to make it stay closed?  Who knows!!!

    But I am determined to get it all sorted out.  It is such a cute little car. 

     

    Thank you Guys.  I really appreciate your collective expertise.

    Mick. Please do not SLAM the door shut !

    You will do more damage to the door catch. It just needs adjusting, cleaning and lubricating. A decent workshop manual will explain how or search on here

    Big Phillips screwdriver and strong wrists required :)

    Well pleased. Did you try the reversing warning? :)

    By the way, the clamp on the clutch cylinder is just to dampen the vacuum gauge tube. Other methods are available but I had that pipette/burette holder handy and i miss it.

    Here are a couple of bad pics of my genuine herald/Vitesse one. First the base which has two brackets that sit on the frame and elastic to clip under seat. 2nd with screen slotted in. This also ha a skirt that goes behind seats to stop draughts.

    My 71 13/60 also has hose direct to air filter.

    The question re the oil cap is interesting, mind Colin did edit the title after the first posting. Maybe it was miss titled with reference to the oil cap? Maybe John did read the top section of the photo? Maybe it is about valve rocker clearance? Someone may be half asleep?

    Pete, there is a plastic coated cardboard 'tray' that clips over the full width and depth of the rear seat with a vertical perspex screen slotted in vertically behind the front seats. I'll try and get a picture next time I fit it. Just google it mate, plenty of people trying to get £400 for one !!

    I'll confirm johnys comments, mine can be into the red in certain situations eg hot day, traffic at a standstill but it soon returns to normal when breezing along.

    Don't worry (yet) get some driving done and look out for steam !
