Re: Saturn 5 ? No engine 5 as I approach the moon

I knew we would get you into the clean engine bay club eventually! Not sure about the anti-run on valve since the purpose is only to vent the manifold on switch off to prevent running on - that is why the bolt does such a good job because it is blocked permanently! I notice there are two holes where...

Re: Wheels

This same guy has offered this set of wheel for sale for about 2 years now. I did try to negotiate with him once but he was adamant he wanted £600 for them! I see they have come down by £5!!!! They do have a nearly new set of tyres which I suppose would cost you around £300 which would make the whee...

Re: body kit rubber beading

The only place you can obtain the correct spec beading is:

To get the speedo out the whole dash has to come out - not done a jap spec with the aircon but it is probably simpler than a modern car! For advice about converting your speedo speak to speedycables: http://www.s...

Re: BMC & Leyland Show 5th July 2015 Gaydon Warwickshire

I made it to the show - guess what - the only ERA there! It did rain a little and the sun roof did leak a bit! A good display of BMC vehicles and some very interesting people to chat to. The steel frame for the new building at the Heritage Centre is up so I dont think it will be too long until it is...

Re: Badge for sale on ebay

To be fair the listing does not describe the badge as genuine - but if you check the dimensions you will find it is much smaller than a genuine one!

HOWEVER, It was re-listed for a buy it now price of £16500!!! and then almost immediately the "listing was ended by the seller beca...
