Removing rear-end bearing cap on a Spitfire engine? by S1500
I've got the oil pan off(remind myself to turn the crankshaft next time, jeesh). Got the 2 main bolts of it off, but it will not come out. I can wiggle it forwards and backwards a bit, but any other way and it's on there solid. Any tips on how to get it out?

Done it, bought a stag! by Badger
Well, as per the subject line and after a lot of searching I've finally found and bought a half-decent Triumph Stag at a reasonable price! 1973 (early, so tax-free), Manual with Overdrive, in Mimosa yellow (IMO, the nicest colour they ever painted them in) and with the original 3.0 V8 engine. It was apparently subjected to a major restoration in the 80's, with a lot of new panels, and...

cooler wanted by Jim Warren
Does anybody know where I can get a transmission cooler radiator? It is the little radiator that sits between the grille and the engine radiator on a 2.5 Triumph and cools the auto box fluid. Rimmers don't stock them. Can anyone suggest a source? Or has anyone broken an automatic Triumph and put the transmission radiator on a shelf? I am in Somerset. Jim

Tyres: rim not sealing by David Balfour
Just bought a set of alloy wheels from a scrapyard. They look good, no sings of kerbing etc. Unfortunately, two of the included tyres won't hold any air - I can hear it escaping from the outside of the rim. They were flat when I got them, is there any trick to get the tyres to seat again? I've had this trouble before on a Volvo 140 with steel wheels when the rims rusted. A local tyre shop...

V8 Clutch Plate - how thick is it. by Liam Healy
Hello All, The V8 has had a good clean and is about to go back together. Looking at the clutch plate tonight I wondered whether I should renew it but can't tell if I need to. How thick is a new one? and how worn can you let these things get ? There seems to be about 5-8 mm on each side of mine. While I'm on, is there anything by way of bushes etc I can easily renew
