In the UK there were people putting various diesel engines in various cars in the 50's, 60's and 70's-do any of these conversions still exist and run regularly? I think they had all sorts of interesting odd( outside their native land) engines, like Gardners, Fodens, and whatnot.

I was surprised to get a letter from DVLA this morning, they say that someone has applied for a log book for a car of mine and is that all right? The car is in a garage remote from my house, someone has angle ground the three locks off. The car is still there and intact and someone has replaced one lock. The letter from the DVLA says that if they don't hear from me they will assume it is...

I need to replace the brake pressure switch on a morris 1000. I seem to recall somewhere reading that if the front of the car is elevated then the switch can be replace without bleeding the system. I would be very grateful for advice as to whether this is a practical and safe short cut or a dangerous false recollection. Many thanks Jonathan

Hi, I have a pre 1960 MG. When I got it, there was a 1997 'tax disc'. I understand that the 'tax' is free, but I can't find anything on the DVLA site. Can someone tell me what I need to do to be legal please? Apply for a normal disc? Thanks.

Purists look away now... I'm just sorting the brakes on my split-screen Minor and have decided on a modification to get rid of the combined master cylinder and reservoir hidden in the chassis rail. It'll be fully reversible if anyone wants to convert back in the future. I intend to use a Landrover Series 3 master cylinder and reservoir. These are seperate and don't have a servo. The neatest...

Decided to finish off the SD1 with a new front number plate. The old one had a chunk missing - courtesy of next door's Audi tow bar. But still legal. It was from Halfords, so I went back there for a new one, and took the old one so they could match the style. Whatever anyone says about them, they've got a car park.;-) Eventually, in a quiet store, I got an assistant to actually assist. I had my...

Sanity check, please :- If somebody were contemplating importing a '60s EU-built car from a private seller in Guernsey, there wouldn't be any VAT payable on it, would there?

Hi Folks, A friend gave me a lift in his Morris Oxford series MO a couple of days ago. Lovely solid thing, but got a bit more interesting when the foot brakes failed completely. A bit of checking when we got - cautiously - to our destination showed a fountain of fluid coming up the reservoir of the Lockheed master cylinder as the pedal was pressed. A bit of fiddling and the problem went...

Ebay again, I'm afraid. I've been thinking of fitting halogen headlamps to the Minor so had a look at what's on offer. Standard 7" round conversion kits for Minis, Minors, Landrovers, etc., go for about 20 quid a set. There's even a chap doing them with a Buy-it-now price of £22.33. Which means the guy with a set currently running at 56 pounds is doing pretty well. The key to his success is...

I (think I) need to separate the rear sections of the exhausts from the bendy sections before them so that I can remove the IRS unit. I've undone the bolt-together exhaust joints but it's the push-fitted join just forward of the rear silencers I'm unsure of how to separate. I don't want to cut the exhausts because they're stainless steel and obviously I'd like to re-use them. Of course the XJ6...

Everyday in the UK there are 1000s of free competitions, offering big prizes such as cars, foreign holidays, even hard cash! But how do you get to know about these competitions? (After all, if you don't know about the competition then you cannot win the prize!). This is where our Prize Club can help. Every day we scan 1000s of websites, looking for details of new competitions. We then send you...

Can someone recommend a company that will sell me a "Brooklands" decal for my Capri 280? Many thanks! -- remove the animals to reply

I have a notion to start rallying again, having competed in the mid/late 80s with a MK1 RS 2000, I would love to have a go in an earlier Escort twin cam. does anyone have the rules and regulations I could have ???

Trying to find the magazine that featured lorries owned by the Sutherland Transport fron Lairg. The shots were mainly of two Leyland 6 wheelers with floats. Number plates NS 2613 (I think). One of the lorries was driven by my father when new Thanks

Thank you to all the people who posted in answer to my MG question. We have been lucky enough to find someone who specialises in the older car. It has not been sent to him. Pat.
