My too when on my pad, just from time to time. Fat fingers on small screen!

I joined his forum after I bought my Herald, the reasons were simple - help, advice and background information. All of which I got and still continue to get. I do look at threads that aren't necessarily Herald based if I think they might add to my knowledge. In addition to my reasons for joining I get the 'free extras', humour, social interaction and even the risky topics of politics and religion. Ok, so just very occasionally there is a bit of 'unpleasantness' a small price to pay. What to ban? Difficult to decide and varies from person to person. I would say leave it all in and let the reader pick what to look at and what to skip. As for the ranking system, well having a newbie title for a while does give others a warning that the poster might need a simpler explanation or additional info to a more experienced owner. The number of posts and other titles? A bit of fun and about as serious as astrology. Hang on, we don't have that as a sub section. " This week the stars warn us that Heralds first registered in July will have an encounter with a breakdown recovery vehicle. On the other hand GT6s with the same star sign will give out a warm feeling to their drivers".

I hadn't noticed you were away. Next time can you give me 24 hours warning so I can make the most of ? 😁

Quite right, I also forgot to say that I had to remove the heater valve and blast through the matrix, in both directions to clear out all the crud, a hosepipe is a good fit. The valve was completely blocked with scale/crud so even though the mechanism looked to working from the outside nothing could flow through it.

Obvious question, have you checked that the ducting is connected and the flap directing the airflow is working? The fan is, shall we say, less effective than a modern one. Many owners do replace the innards. I only use my Herald in summer but if I use the fan it does makes difference, l have it set to blow hot air to my feet it then rises and will warm pecans my hands on a chilly day. This is in a convertible with the roof down. Make sure the coolant is circulating properly, no pipes blocked and the heater valve works.

Weer nut vury gud wi wurds an Kan Reed picture bettur 🤪

Yes, too busy on this forum😁

OK,

I live in one of those : Le Perche

Bag? mine has/had a piece of fabric that I thought might just be to help pull the foam into place. The fabric is so rotten, ripped, coming off I can't be sure. Mine also have side pieces, they are needed as the seat cover is shaped not flat. Could it be you are getting a mix of photos of earlier Herald seats/foams and 13/60 ones?

Just had a look at R***** Bros and it looks to be a complete piece, maybe 2 glued together? to form an 'L' where the short piece goes over the top bar.

Don't know myself. 1/3? far more than was missing/disintegrated on mine. I added a piece at the top to protect/cover the top metal support/frame bar. Check out the seat foam kits offered by the usual suppliers and see if you can tell from their photos?

Not necessarily, depends what you use to clear them. I have a programme on my machine which allows you mark cookies that you want to keep, the rest get dumped. I have marked as keepers this forum, for example, and all the other sites I use regularly. It is a pain when you go to a site which you will probably never use again and have to tick 'the box'. I have noticed recently that some sites do have an option to continue without accepting cookies. You have to look carefully as it isn't as obvious as the boxes they want you to tick. Long live dinosaurs!

That is better than your last posting in the Joke section ! 😉

Upgrades! What is wrong with a good reliable phone like the one I had They insisted I upgraded to the latest model Now someone wants me to have a mobile phone, why, Stupid idea all those phone boxes on street corners, pubs with public phones. who needs to carry phone with them? Must dash, the wheelwright is coming to repair my horseless carriage.

Badwolf : Same here!

Oh, shame I was looking forward to adding that to my maintenance schedule 📋

Isn't it Neaps and tatties? Whatever they are/were

Very good question. I haven't an answer though, but someone will be along with at least 1. I shall keep an eye for replies

Maybe I posted it before, I'll plead old age as my defence. URBEX, L’exploration urbaine in French but obviously from the English URBan EXploration. The people post their findings without giving any indication of where the stuff is. They must 'accidentally' stray onto private property . . .

At the end of the season I just leave what is in the tank, I do try and start the car and go for a run when possible over winter, and no problems, mind you I do use SP98 which is only 5%

I attached one end of the strap to the fixing and fitted it to the frame then stretched it to get a good fit, cut with a good length extra, threaded through the fixing , pulled tight and stapled/riveted.

The foam is in better condition that in mine. I added some foam at the top to pad the bar and replaced the straps with strong wide elastic from my wife's store of bits & bobs, that also improved the comfort. When I refitted the foam I put it in a plastic bag as it helped the cover slide on again.

There are 'several' Triumphs in this 'barn' https://lesvoitures.fr/urbex-de-superbes-triumph-en-enfer/?fbclid=IwAR2sdotDznKIz39Fj0aCvLKBQXsYEXVD8zgjaS_-TFWd7eQJ85Qs8-Sulo0
