    You don't mention the exhaust system being used..... If you are running a decent extractor exhaust & sports system then your 1296 will benefit from correctly setup HS4's. If the head has had some decent work on it (not just CR) then that will help to. ........ Andy

    Try checking with an IR thermometer to see if you actually have a problem, if not I'd change the sender first ....... Andy

    I had a sudden bout of hesitation on the TR recently..... plug-change has sorted it completely - may be worth a quick swap ........ Andy

    Hi Aidan, My only experience with them is from over 30 years ago when they were based much closer to Reading - at the time I was looking for a car for a friend of mine and was not very impressed with the quality of their stock and the way I was treated. So much so that I never felt inclined to return. As I said, that was a long time ago, they could have improved. ......... Andy

    Hi Steve, There is an old dealership in Ottershaw, Trident, (how a Honda Dealer) there are a couple of older pictures on their website in the history section. Although they may not be keen them being reproduced without speaking to them first, there are some screen-shot from an episode of The Sweeney which shows it in the background - plus a Dolomite and Spitfire http://www.tridenthonda.co.uk/pageloader.pl?page=home_other_abouttrident_history_thesweeney ..........

    Yep, that's the way I believe they are intended to be set up ...... Andy

    I mentioned on a recent thread that I have a set of these waiting to go on my 4, although mine came from TRE for a few pounds less http://www.triumphspecialtuning.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=40&product_id=87 ....... Andy

    If you have the room and power available then an outdoor carcoon would be the best bet, better than some garages! ....... Andy

    Pete's on the money, just use the old race to gently knock the new one in, job done ....... Andy

    AndyTV8 replied to John Bonnett's topic in General

    Facebook is a different animal to the more traditional forums, but it is a very useful tool - I use it a lot, as i do twitter, less so Instagram and Pinterest - all for different purposes. Best to choose what works for you and respect the diversity that gives options to people with different communication preferences. The other thought is that something may not meet your needs today, but things change....... in 6/12/18 months it may be a better bet. ....... Andy

    i'v used a crypton one, as in Kevin's link, for years - the only thing i don't like is that it is quick restrictive to the intake..... i'm told that some find these a better bet: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Carb-sync-tool-air-flow-meter-Weber-delortto-IDF-DRLA-etc-/252231523420 ..... Andy

    The last couple of occasions i'v replace my shock absorbers i recalled the times when, having spent a more on the adjustable ones, i invariably ended up setting them to the middle-setting! If the car is for road use i just opt for new std. ones now and pocket the change ...... well, ok, spend it on something else ..... Andy

    Stag dip stick

    AndyTV8 replied to paulrobbo1's topic in Engine

    when I first got mine I picked a a great numpty-award, I didn't realise that the dipstick needed a bit of a twist to get it to seat properly - It sat about half an inch too high! Oops ...... Andy

    They often appear on eBay as well - wherever you get one from, don't forget the felt washer ....... Andy

    JP are usually pretty good with their service and quality, good to hear that it is all buttoned up and goes round corners and in straight lines Enjoy....... Andy

    Good job Pete

    Hey Pete, worth checking that wear in the rear subframe bushes isn't contributing - wise choice re. the hubs, be careful when fighting to the trailing arms, helicoil at the ready ..... Andy

    I haven't done it on a Spitfire myself, but i am sure plenty have. I did recently replaced the after-market seats that my TR4 came with for a set of Mk2 MX5 seats (separate headrests, the runners were from a Mk1) I spent a long time looking for a set of second-hand ones, but ended up contacting a chap who often advertises on eBay, he supplied some recovered in a style a little more in keeping with the TR. .....

    i'm 95% sure the 13/60 should have both hubcaps and outer trims ......... Andy

    As Pete mentions, all down to longevity, the quality of rubber bushes can be quite poor, Polys will last much longer and tighten things up (for a higher price) ........ Andy
  25. AndyTV8
    sounds good.... i will have to plan better next time and get along! .... Andy
