    Car covers.

    Bought one from the club shop about five years ago. It goes on the car every winter in my garage. Yes fits well very well made and nice and soft lining so never scratched the paint. Go and get one
  2. Try your local machine mart. Very good quality and you get what you pay for for any tool. If you really want the best try snap on. Mine are over 40 years old Andrew
  3. As requested bought from the club shop it is carpet, fit very well and it does not move at all Andrew
  4. I bought a boot floor mat from the club shop. Great fit and just makes the boot look so much tidier. Andrew
  5. Yes I also do that and never had a problem getting nice warm air
  6. Here is an old truck to avoid air locks. When you have drained the system for whatever reason. Start the car up let it idle and fill up the system as it runs, works every time I guarantee it. andrew
  7. Thanks all cannot get it working so ordered two just is case from rimmers. Interestingly they only sell valves for MG let’s see if it fits
  8. Hello as my voluntary MOT is due my windscreen washer have decided to stop working. The fault is the one way valve on the pipe in the bottle. This is not an electric pump but the old fashioned pump it yourself. Can the one way valve stop working and if so is they an easy remedy or do I just buy a new one as it won’t break the bank regards Andrew
  9. Yes I can confirm it is a dynamo bracket of a Herald or Vitesse Andrew
  10. Treat her with respect and she will return the favour with lots of fun.
  11. Would it just be easier and more reliable to just buy a new tank?
  12. Looking from the back of the car it is left and right
  13. This is how you solve your issue. I had exactly the same issue when I replaced both my front callipers on my 13/60. Do it one side at a time. Remove both pads out of the calliper give the pedal a couple of pumps to get the pistons out of their normal position, and make the piston seal movement. Push both pistons back in replace pads and do the same on the other side. I guarantee that will fix the problem. The piston seals are dragging the piston back into the calliper and not allowing any movement Andrew
  14. Buy one of those dehumidifier bags that can be reused from the club shop
  15. Bloody hell let’s complicate it. Simple if red light on no charge to battery. So left long enough flat battery end of
  16. My point is as a old triumph mechanic once told me that if your car does not have a Rev counter to set the idle speed by the best guide is set the idle to when the red light just flickers on. When this speed is set and the red light is flickering the Dynamo is not charging for obvious reasons. This is quite normal and no harm done. Andrew
  17. At idle just about when the red ignition light will flicker the Dynamo will not charge hence the red light. Rev up and if you have a multimeter it will then charge at about 13 to 14 amps. Andrew
  18. I bought the luminition from the club shop for my Herald. Really made a difference from the moment I switched on. More power more acceleration and no points to worry about fully recommend buying on from the shop. What ever you do do not buy a cheap unit. Been there. Andrew
  19. Just buy brand new callipers from the club shop which are very good quality. You are then ready to swop the items over with no mess. The removal of the callipers and discs is a very straight forward job. Andrew
  20. What is wrong with the rest of it. I refurbished mine Bly a couple of weeks ago and it was in a worse stare than yours andrew

    Servo

    In my opinion our cars do not need a servo. I think for the weight of our cars and the speed we do a servo not required. I like my cars as near to original as can be.
  22. That is the correct plug good picture I am impressed how you got so close
  23. Hi I know the big hex oil relief valve is but this is definitely the plug under the oil filter with an Allen key hole. That is where the leak is. Also why is there a Allen key hole not just a normal blanking plug type as there is on other plugs on the engine
  24. Hello knowledgeable people. I have a late 13/60 Herald. Just noticed a pool of oil under my car I have traced it to what looks like a plug just under the oil filter. Not sure if it is a plug but that is the best way I can describe it. Can it be tightened and or is there a seal that need replacing. Thank you in advance
  25. Hi Rob thanks for this very concise and I fully understand. Wow how engines are developing. Thanks one again
