Hi All, I have got my new dashboard finished and fitted, now begun to reinstall the cluster and fittings, question is when I try to feed the free wheel cable through the tube in the gearbox it hits the end of the spring loaded plunger and will go no further, do I need to dismantle the freewheel or s...

Hi Tony, I suspected something along those lines, looks like I am missing some grommets, they may be among the several boxes of "stuff" that came with the car. Don't know about cutting her workload, I quite fancy a roadster as well so she may have to up her game! PS: If you never hear from me again ...

Hi all, 1935 Rover 12 is coming along, talk about opening a can of worms!! I have had to sell the house and get the wife 3 part time jobs to finance the project.

Thanks

So I will send them this information together with a couple of photographs and hopefully they will be satisfied and ...

Thanks for the information. The plate screwed to the bulkhead states "car number 51....", is this the number I should give to the DVLA? I wouldn't want to give them anything which may lead to any confusion as you know what they are like, give them half a reason and before you know it you have the sp...
