the first part of the choke should only increase the idle-speed rather than enrich the mixture - so i'd be inclined to up the idle-speed a bit before over-complicating things. ...... Andy

The quote from the link goes (the way that I have read it) further than that - for the second point, quite right, Moss is very differently structure to Rimmer Bros.

Bill and Graham of Rimmer are quoted as referring to a “merger”

Personallly, I think you are all overthinking it, simply TV people trying to make some kind of entertainment based on a subject area which isn’t broadly covered. The producers are probably happy that the show is being discussed in any way, positive or negative. Maybe they are trawling through Classic Car forums for ideas on their next versions ……. Andy

Hmmmm….. mine is an earlier 4, so I haven’t seen your particular type, but Moss Europe parts list states: 138308 PIPE, (nylon), replaces flexible pipe Notes: The nylon pipe replaces the flexible hose and rigid pipe in that it goes direct from the pipe (200646) to the oil pressure gauge. Listed as an 'alternative' to 202793 in the Triumph parts book, but standard on all TR4A's. These items are the same whichever filter head is fitted that implies you still need to connect the nylon pipe to 200646 which has the banjo connection on it. Don’t forget to put the copper washer with the larger hole next to the filter head, the smaller one on the outside. ……… Andy

received mine today - very good, top-marks to those involved ...... Andy

It is in the TSSC website classified ads now, it looks very good and I’m sure it will find a great new home - I just noticed where it is located, we will be moving nearby in May so nice to know there may be some fellow Triumph-sightings in the local area, I’ll keep my ears listening out for the familiar Burble ……… Andy

There was a note in last months Courier, due to the editorial and publishing changes this months will be sent out around the middle of March. The next one will then be May as the routine settles. ……… Andy

It’s an interesting question - I do my own, but I suspect as the years roll on it does get more difficult for some of us to physically do it (getting down is ok, getting up less straightforward!) I do get my car MoT’d but I don’t lose any sleep over missing it by a couple of months. I often read more examples of people checking the value of their car these days though so perhaps there are more owners who have more than a passing-interest of their car as an investment rather than a drive/fix/repeat car so the ‘fix’ part isn’t interesting for them. Changing world. ………. Andy

Hi Matt, welcome to the club, your 13/60 looks very nice, have fun driving and enjoying the car ……. Andy

Currently recovering from surgery so I won’t be at this one - hope it is a good day for those that will be attending ……. Andy

That looks very nice indeed - drive and enjoy! …….. Andy

The valuation guide is located here: https://www.tssc.org.uk/tssc/uploaded_files/TSSC INS Vals April 23.pdf the 5th line is the one you are after, labeled as 'Van & Estate' ....... Andy

RobSport or EJ Wards should be able to help ……. Andy

Any prospective government has the same conundrum to solve…. They have had plenty of time to think about it and plan accordingly. There will undoubted be increases in some taxes to cover reduced revenue from fossil fuel taxes, the only open question is which taxes. (And don’t bet against reduced expenditure in parallel) ……..
