At some time in the past my classic has been resprayed and finished with a clear lacquer coat. I have no experience working with this. There are numerous small scratches, mostly only through the lacquer, but a few have marked the paint. Can I spray paint on top of the lacquer, or is it likely to peel. I am looking at lots of small scratches, so may have to do two complete half- wing...

Hi everyone I own and run a fairly new website on the subject of classic cars, I am looking for people who would like to share their stories of classic car ownership, any tips and tricks they picked up over the years and even people who have a show or event that they wish to promote. If anyone has a restoration (finished or ongoing) that they would like to share, or wisdom they wish to...

I fitted a new speedometer cable to the Triumph PI - a really awkward job, especially connecting the end behind the dashboard. Now the temperature gauge reads high, where it used to be spot on. I have just checked it from cold, and the needle gets over three quarters of the way towards hot before the thermostat starts to open. I imagine I have mucked up something electrical behind the...

I've spent some time trying to source a 'new' classic and decided that all those available are of too low a standard for what I'm after, so I'm commissioning someone to build me one from scratch. Been to see the chap and viewed a chassis/bulkhead that will eventually become my car and am very happy with the standard of it and have agreed a rough indication of price for completed vehicle....

Hi Folks! I'm asking for a friend of mine - a new owner of this model. 1600 motor, Weber carbs, points ignition, manual choke. The car refuses to start on the self starter when warm. If pushed it'll start right away. He's changed the starter motor to no avail. Any ideas? Bill, DK

I have observed white- green crystalline fur around the positive terminal of the battery in my car. Does anyone know what it is, and how it gets there? thanks dan

I'm looking for an ashtray to fit a 1966 E-Type; in view of William Lyons' reluctance to spend money I'm sure it was an off-the-shelf part rather than specifically designed for that particular car, so probably appeared in various othe cars of that period. It's a sliding tray design; the actual tray part is 6" wide, 4.5" deep and 1" high. The front plate is a bit bigger, but that doesn't...

I have just taken possession of a Minor 1000. It started first time and I drove home (about 10 miles) with no problems at all. I switched off the engine to use the keys to lock the boot, then started it up to park it a bit more tidily. It started first time, I drove forward about 4 feet and the engine cut out. It wouldn't restart, though just occasionally one cylinder fired, which was...

Folks, I need to replace the electric fuel pump on the DS. It's non-original: fitted by the last owner in South Africa to refill the carb after long periods of standing in the hot sun of KwaZulu Natal and now jolly useful when starting on a petrol after running on gas. What's there is a.n.onymous plastic thing with spigot (ie not-banjo) inlet and outlet fittings. It would be easiest - though...

Been away, just catching up, managed to lose all messages. Therefore going from memory. I hate Bill Gates. As I recall the OP (or his local trimmer) was worried about fitting to compound curves Some years ago I helped a friend with a rolling restoration; high on the list was replacing the fabric roof simply to keep the rain out - it could be done properly a couple of years later once the...

A pal of mine has a Daimler Dart (SP250) with a rather scruffy hard top. He's been wondering what to do with it, and is now thinking of a vinyl covering. OK, it's dangerously reminiscent of spivvy Mark 2 Jags of the 60's and crappy Hillmans from the 70's, but in this case I agree with him - I think it could look rather good, and certainly rather better than a plain painted hard top. A local...

I was giving this some thought on a long drive (Dumfries to Wensleydale and back) and here's what I came up with ... To run, a nice simple old engine like the Minor's needs ... a) Compression b) Fuel c) A spark and

Sorry for first post being an ad. My father has just sold his Triumph Vitesse and i've just listed his old Car Mechanics Magazines from the late 50s and early 60s a few from the 70s to. Ebay numbers 110268973122, 110268973318, 110268973738, 110268974046 Not sure if they're of interest to you guys, its the last lot of these that he had as i'd already sold a load of the 60s ones one the last...

I'm in the process of fixing a few things in my '78 Spitfire and I'm having problems removing the tachometer. The question is: how do you remove the last of the 3 cables plugged behind the tacho, as shown below? I tried unscrewing the metal socket - although it rotates it does not appear to be unscrew. Pulling also appears not be an an option, the black cable is solidly attached to the...
