One for the anoraks, I guess - or, perhaps, the genuine readers of this NG. Late fifties, the MG EX 179 and 181 won all sorts of land speed records using a four cylinder twin-cam lump of varying capacities according to which record they were going for. I always thought the engine was basically a Jaguar XK cut down to a four, as intended for the still-born XK100. This month's Classic &...

I am having trouble locating tyres for my PI. I can find Michelin XASs the right size, but the set on the car at the moment are BFGoodrich Momenta S/E 185/80R13 and I would rather stick with the same brand if I can. I tried e-mailing Goodrich, but the Contact Us page on their website just returns an error. Does anyone now whether these tyres are still obtainable, and where I might get...

Local authorities have been relieved of the requirement to indicate the time-limits and other conditions relevant to any specific restricted-stopping area (e.g. single-yellow line or loading zone)on a sign located at that zone, being permitted instead to provide only blanket signage for a controlled parking zone (CPZ), the onus being on the driver to find where the CPZ signage is. Drivers...

Dear newsgroup, who today is the premier F-1 scribe as the above gent once clearly was? Thanks in advance!! E.C.

Compact Cars For Sale. For people who would like to have a vehicle that does not use up a great amount of gas, compact cars would be the right kind of car for them. Aside from this, compact cars are much more affordable. People who would not like to spend much on driving and on purchasing a vehicle opt for compact cars. For around $10,000, you can now own a compact car. Decide how much you are...

We haven't had a thread about Triumph gearboxes for a few weeks, so here's one. Anybody know if the Dolomite Sprint shared gearboxes with the Stag? Sound unlikely, I know, but I've just been comparing two side by side and the only difference I can see is the input shaft, which is longer and thinner on the Sprint. The clutch slave cylinders are on different sides, but as the actuating rod is...

Cars are a big investment. Since buying a car is relatively a long- term investment, many people want to make an informed decision about the latest prices of all models of cars before deciding on any one. Car prices are likely to change quite often, depending on the market conditions, introduction of newer models, competition, demand, and many other factors. It is thus important to know the most...

I've got an SD1 EFI with a very high mileage engine. Which won't last forever - although it's fine at the moment. Since all these engines are pretty cheap (in relative terms) secondhand I was considering getting a spare and overhauling it ready to swap. Many reckon the 3.9 is the best version - but will the EFI (flapper type) from a 3.5 cope or does it mean changing everything? It's an auto and...

I was having a browse in our local "quality junk" shop recently and found a Parts List and an Owners Handbook for a Consul 375. Is anybody looking out for these? I don't mind going back in and asking about prices next time I am passing. Jim

Hi, I'm looking for a spare wheel for a mini derived kit car. I can easily get a 12" wheel with 145/70 tyre from Ebay etc.. - but I was hoping for somthing a little thinner to stash away. Were any cars with mini-type hubs (4 studs, 4" pcd) ever equipped with a space-saver wheel? At the moment I carry one of those aerosol tins that is supposed to fix leaks - but would prefer something more...

I have 2 Smiths Temperature gauges, one has 359 on the back the other 441 anyone any ideas to their significance? Something to do with the resistance of the sender perhaps? Thanks Alan...

Due to impracticalities of fitting Child Seats into the back of my 1968 Midget I am looking at swapping it for a slightly larger car, namely a 1972 Triumph Stag. I have always fancied a Stag but have heard conflicting information about their reliability as an run around car (3000mi/year). Some internet sites indicate you have to do an oil change every 3 months to prevent timing chain wear. This...

Greetings urcc I read Jim Warrens post and thought, well I've got something that I was given recently and don't know what to do with, so ... I have here this pair of caravan helper springs that were used with a 1971 Sunbeam Rapier Fastback, and they appear to include the necessary fixings and things. I also know the reg number of the vehicle concerned (which was last due for tax in 1990,...

I was so staggered by the choice of car polish in Halfords recently that I decided I needed to hear the experience of others instead of choosing randomly. This is specifically for a large, black pre-war car finished in cellulose, and I'm concerned about getting silicones near it because some of it will need spraying in the future. Which polish do you use, and how did you settle on your...

If you live in Surrey/Sussex, the Capel Classic Car and Bike Show is this Saturday, 18th August. Take a look at www.capelcarshow.com - all proceeds go to the church restoration fund.... As far as I can make out, it started in the vicar's back garden nine years ago and has expanded to a ridiculous degree. Now has major sponsorship and a remarkable variety of entries and displays - will never be...
