I've got some ali castings which are an absolute bugger to clean - all nooks and crannies, even a toothbrush won't do the job. Have heard rumours of an electrolytic process which sounds ideal, but can't find out anything further. Anything known? Does it work? Where can I get it done? TIA, Geoff MacK

Can anyone think of a reasonably affordable way of getting a Herald rolling chassis from Glasgow to Bournemouth? By "reasonably affordable" I mean "cheaper than a car transport company" or possibly "a cheap car transport company" ... Ian

Those of a sensitive nature may prefer to look away now. I've just got myself a P6 spares car that, as is the nature of these things, turns out to be too good to break for spares. It's a 1972 2000TC in dog**** brown (Tobacco Leaf), with paint that's thick and horrid. It's fitted with a single carb and the engine has loads of bits missing (camshaft, side panel bolts, etc). But the base unit's...

Hi there, eBay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=150229966289&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=005 ATB

Scion sales have hit a slump in the last 17 months, with a peak of 175,000 units sold in 2006, the youth-marketed brand's sales have dipped to 130,000 vehicles last year. The solution will likely come from three new vehicles to be released in the next few years. Scion's veep, Jack Hollis, told Automotive News in an interview during the Big Apple bash, that Scion is "studying two or three models...

http://www.oldstox.com/images/Talbor%20or%20Delahaye.jpg Can anyone identify this car? It was in a stock-car race in France about 1958. Looks like custom coachwork, but is it a Talbot-Lago or a Delahaye? And, are there any newsgroups specifically for 1930's/1940's cars? Please post any answers here. Thanks!

Anyone managed to identify any of the cars in the Guinnes 'domino topple' advert? Number 3 has a distinctly BMC Farina look -- the bonnet shape suggests Riley/Wolseley? Difficult to get a good look and there's lots of motion blur. Phil --

Dunno if anyone saw it, but the opening sequence consisted of a caption saying 1966 and a close up of the badge on a Rover P6 3500S... -- *It's not hard to meet expenses... they're everywhere. Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound.

Afternoon, all. I've just pulled the gearbox from my Herald to have a look at the clutch (the car has been laid up for ten years). It could do with replacement - it has done 85,000 miles. I have a new release bearing and a good-as-new Borg and Beck cover in stock, but no spare driven plates. It's been a while (ten years) since I did this. In Ye Olde Days I'd have been straight out to buy a Borg...

I can't find my manual its been so long not been looked at, even someone could have kept it on "loan". It had a light blue cover :) But what is the timing for about 1964/66 Sprite not sure what motor it has but its not the original and I suspect it maybe a 998cc and not what I thought should have been an 1100cc. The car has the early cap with side entry lead distributor and vernier...

A friend is currently part-way through the restoration of a fixed-head Jaguar XK140, which will be used mainly for continental touring (his current MG TD is fine for runs to the pub on Sunday lunchtimes, but not much more without severe discomfort). He's got to the stage of deciding what to keep original and what to change. Like my E-Type he wants to keep it as original as possible, but...

Hi there, an ebay item; http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=150228213408&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=005 ATB

I have 2 old crankshafts (unused in original packing). I think first might be a Mini 970 S item. Cast no is AEG171 EN40B and second might be 1100 crank. Cast No 12A298 Any experts on old BMC Part nos out there that can confirm?

Does anyone know the whereabouts of Morris Minor JDC 471 ? J

Confused.com are currently running a £1m lottery for requesting a quote. In an idle moment, of which I have many these days, I entered the details of the E to see what sort of quote I could get. The email I received back said that they had contacted 97% of insurers, and not one was prepared to quote. They listed 20 - reasons included "won't quote on modified cars", "don't do classics",...

Hi folks, .... this is a plea for assistance. I am hoping that there is some kind soul out there who may have the info I am looking for. I am trying to track down an old copy of the build instructions (in fact any documents drawings etc) for any of the Domino Cars - 'classic Mini' based models. They produced 4 types.. the Pimlico - Premeire - Saloon (i.e think it was called the HFE) - and the...
