Thanks Luli We are actually saying the same thing I think! Although electrics are not my strong area! Yes the A3 white(!) goes from the Ignition switch (the ignition switches on fine) I do not have another white going from the ignition to the lamp (easy to do!) I have to run a yellow from the lamp t...

Luli Thanks for the link. I have 12v 2.5 w screw in bulbs, although my lamp holder is a later pattern (chrome rim!) - as is the choke lamp incidentally. that uses a large moulded plastic amber lamp (I had a similar one on my TR3A for the oil pressure warning,; it uses a 12v 2.5 as well) My issue is ...

Thank you Phil. I will have a look at dismembering an old pair of gloves! I am still unsure how to remove the boot. If possible I don't want to disturb the brakes inside the drum as they work really well and "If it ain't broke....don't disturb it!" It looks from the exploded diagram of brakes that t...

Thanks for the advice. I have a Workshop manual...unfortunately it is an early one (1987) without sections B,D,N,P,R. It is notably coy about lubricants, but theses are covered in the handbook, but of course, refer to period oils available! I have obtained straight EP 90 for Bijur, gearbox and rear ...

However ….I see in the parts list L2 & 3 are " plug & washer for redundant oil feed tappings in axle beam!" Mystery solved...now wh...

While grovelling underneath and replacing some radiator hoses (In passing I managed to free off the drain tap in the metal link tube! Success!)..... I noticed that the forward face of the king pin assembly has two apparently untapped holes (3/8" (?) in it that are exposed to the elements (pins look ...

I just found Fred's small advert in Flywheel!
I will call him

Thank you Luli
My plates have 3 mounting screws, but I could live with 4 I expect!
do you have a link to Freddy Boulton? Not a name I have come across yet!

Probably the proverbial Hens Teeth, but... I could usefully use a pair of door striker plates (A post) There are some not dissimilar on Ebay from the Daimler Club, but they are not the same, and they won't let me have them on sale or return.... Mine could probably be repaired by adding braze to the ...
