Took the green car up to PD Gough in Nottingham to have a new stainless system fitted. They had it ready, although I did not need the downpipe - could not get it off and it was in decent condition. So they made up brackets etc to suit I now have a non leaking & quiet system. They were happy to put t...

Thanks for the advice Luli…trouble is you understand what you are doing & make it sound so easy!! I don’t know why I’m not just flashing to convert to neg! I suppose I just worry about what else might get upset! Worked well on the ZA with its alternator! But this car is so un-messed about I want to ...

Thanks for that article. I have a spare warning lamp that I will modify as suggested I’m also looking at fitting a 20amp socket to power a phone etc by using an USB plug or it can be used as a charger socket for keeping the battery topped up ….I use a small solar panel that produces a trickle. Car i...

The modern adaptor was too long....There was not enough "give" in the now very short rubber hose sections to be able to bend them over the pipe from the Read ? thermostat. Drat ! I WILL find away. I did 250 miles ibn last weeks sunshine ad it was a delight. She uses about a pint of SAE 30 per hundre...

I don't know how significant the "sizes" are...Rover, being engineers no doubt wanted it absolutely correctly meter...

This car continues to amaze, Starts on the button in the coldest weather and reveal strange modifications! There was a what appeared to be a 1" dia bulb sticking out of a nicely made hole in the dash, Grovelling around through the access hatch I found it was about 4" long with a couple of shielded c...

Well the new electronic regulator seems to have restored charge to the battery! Easy to fit & uses my old cover, so looks right. I took the opportunity to restore the fuses to more realistic levels (NOT 50 amps on everything!) I'll give it a good run next week to see if my coil overheating/condenser...

I think we did it by lifting the engine on the sump ( suitably loadspread) certainly no wings or wheels were touched. The guide on the crossmember is a **d to adjust . The handle on my other tourer also doesn’t line up so I may have to change the mounting on that next
Happy Christmas

Thanks for all that information.
Food for thought! What is the thought about clips in the boot toolbox vs felt lining
