My engine number on my 13/60 herald starts with GK is this a normal for an engine number as I thought all the engines on this model herald are starring with GE.

Screw as far as possible with the rubber seal on the smooth part of the upright above the thread then turn back one complete turn this is to allow the steering to go from lock to lock

Hello anyone any recommendations where to take my radiator for repair in or around Derby. andrew

Hello all herald 13/60 question where is the water drain tap on the engine. Thanks in advance

Thanks classiclife. Just been under the dash and spotted a 30 amp green blade type fuse any idea what that is for Andrew

Hello to you all. I have a Herald 13/60 a late one 1971 registered. Is the starter motor fused as standard and if not is it worth fitting a fuse to the system and if so what size amp would you recommend only asking as I am fitting a new pre engaged type bomb get from club shop. thank you in advance Andrew

Hello had this problem on my herald. Sand down area affected and apply yacht varnis but apply in very thin layers I put one layer on applied my brush every night for about two weeks. This way each layer dries and you build up a good hard finish.

Make your way to Machine Mart they have a large stock of Imperial spanners and sockets. Good quality and a fair price. Andrew

Hi Peter can you make me one please as your soldering skills look spot on Andrew

Hi all Herald 13/60 it is not the U.Js on the prop shaft not even attempting them yet but the UJs on the drive shafts at the differential end. They have blanking plugs fitted which I have removed but how the bloody hell do you get a nipple in and then being able to get your grease gun on. As I said you need a nipple that in 3 inches long. HELP

Hello intelligent people help me out. In my wisdom I thought I would use my new long grease nipple on my uj s that have never been greased. OK car was on axel stands wheels off and then I jacked the hub seperatley until the car was being lifted so I thought that would get the drive shaft horizontal. Still cannot get a grease nipple anywhere near the blanking plug. Is there anywhere that sells extra long nipples they need to be about three inches long to enable to get the nipple in between the drive shafts and to get a grease gun on the nipple. Or has any one got any better ideas. Regards Andrew

Hi all I replaced my carpets in my 13/60 convertible. Bought them as a complete set from the club shop. The fitting was very simple as the carpets are moulded. especially the section round the transmission tunnel. Good quality and the price was competitive. Sorry to say this but even if you can buy the same carpets from another supplier for slightly less, is it not worth always supporting the shop and our club. If we always go down the cheapest route we will not have a club or a shop. The only winner is eBay or the likes and they do not care about us. Andrew

Hi all I bought some seat belt extenders from the club shop and it has gone through two MOT since I fitted them. Everything works as normal. The only down side is they are only available in red. Andrew

Hi all just an update on my leaking fuel pump. Replaced the copper tubing and fitted a new olive made sure it was pushed on about 1/4 inch. Refitted and tightened up all now secure and no leakes so the moral of the story is by new parts where possible thanks For your help guys regards andrew

Will ptfe tape be ok with petrol or will the petrol dissolve it then get into the carb

Hi Pete thank you for confirming my suspicion. I will have another go by pushing the olive on further. I will report back on my success out or courtesy.

Hi pete funny you mention this I could only get the olive just on the pipe and I mean the olive is in line with the end of the pipe. What sealant would you recommend. And lastly enjoyed the twiddle day I wa the guy asking about a multimeter

Hi guys. the fuel pump to carb pipe has been leaking at the fuel pipe union coming out of the pump. So I purchased new copper pipe 1/4 inch and new male union and olive. After fitting the new pipe And union to the fuel pump and routing the pipe round the engine to the carb. It is still leaking. Any suggestions please regrads Andrew

Hi all love bigfella s set up. The blue scissor jack I presume if not please tell me where you bought it and what is is. How would that set up work with a Herald with the chassis runner down the centre of the car. I have been looking for months at the best thing to purchase but every time I come unstuck with this issue. Ideally I want all four wheels off the deck. An comments welcome

Just been to Hobby Craft with the wife and guess what they are selling airfix models of The Herald bought one just for the hell of it. Not put a kit together for 40 years what fun

Hi Ricky tried to email you twice today but the mail just kept bouncing back
