Can anybody give a definite answer to a question that so called "experts" cant agree, I'm told "well it all depends etc" My simple question is this. Can I tow a trailer which weighs one and half tons that will have a TWO ton vehicle on the bed of the trailer, The trailer is fully enclosed and tri axle. Do I legally have to have a TACHOGRAPH fitted.

Slightly off topic, but you guys are more likely to know the answer than anyone else... My SIP Topmig Turbo 150 has just stopped working. Initially, I thought a thermal cutout was operating as after using it on high power for a while, the wire feed and arc stopped working, though the fan kept running. After an hour or so's rest it would be OK. It did this for a couple of days, but now...

I advertised my SS1 for sale on the Practical Classics and Classic Car Weekly sites last night. This morning, two email enquiries in my box. One is reproduced below so that others may recognise this type of scam. Date: Thu, 28 Jul 2005 09:35:18 +0100 From: mike thomas Subject: Response to your advert 'Reliant Scimitar SS1 1600 XR3

I know the Ford V4 and York engines weren't the best designed units but are they really this bad?... quote Peter Evans from the Highways Agency said: "Drivers are advised that some of the vans may be travelling slowly as some of them date back as far as 1965." /quote

Hi, Would anyone happen to have kicking about their garage the chrome strip for the passenger door of a Mk. I (K Reg) Ford Capri? Would they be prepared to part with it for a modest amount of cash? Failing that does anyone know of a good Capri specialist who might be able to point me in the direction of one?

Hi all, Does anyone know a supplier of early Capri exhausts.... The back box on my 3000Gt has gone and as far as I can see they just don't make them anymore. Paul.

I have a few (22) genuine nos Unipart water pumps GWP 1084 and want to know if they will fit a Dolomite Sprint???

Not really classic territory but perhaps the knowledgable peeps on here might be able to shed some light on this... This is about theoretical maximum speeds and 'speed' ratings for tyres ( R, HR, ZR, etc for radials & FKW for crossplies). A few years back there was a seemingly unresolved debate about fitting agricultural dumper tyres to Range Rovers & Landies. The tyres were (typically)...

Hello all, Is this the a re-birth of Vanden Plas? David James CBE, the corporate doctor who was brought in to save the Millennium Dome, has issued details of the 'British backed' bid to save MG Rover from falling into Chinese ownership, which is reported to require funding of some £80-90m. It includes developing a three-model MG sports car range, together with the provision of contract...

My 1600 SS1 is in for MOT today, but there is a query from the tester about emissions. Apparently the emissions are outside limits, but they don't know how to adjust them. The air filter is new (ish) and the carb, a Weber progressive twin choke is in good condition. Is this an indication that the main jets may be incorrectly sized? -- AJL Electronics (G6FGO) Ltd : Satellite and TV...

Car is a 1978 Triumph Spitfire 1500. Pretty standard except for electronic ignition and 12V coil. The battery is in good condition. When cranking the engine on the starter, most of the time it will work fine. Occasionally, it will crank very slowly (as if the battery was flat) then pick up to normal speed again. Sometimes this doesn't happen at all, other times it'll crank slowly for ages...

Has anyone else been disappointed in the quality of new parts on sale for classics ? Gone are the days of getting Girling , Lucas, QH, Unipart etc over the counters at Moss etc. Now it's noname rubbish at quality prices. Had to return a few items for the Spitfire recently, poor quality, poor fit etc. rather repair / recondition what I've got or source unused old stock from E Bay etc.

In the 1970s I was working at the Ford of Europe John Andrews R&D Centre in Cologne-Merkenich. Many engineers and later I myself often flew to Britain on the Ford internal airline, which employed 16-seater Grumman turboprops. Can anyone point me to additional information about these early planes used by Ford? - Were they Grumman?

Throgmorton Whippet isn't related to the Spagthorpe Whippet is it? Obviously the the twin overhead crankshaft, seven piston, diesel two stroke engine and preselect indicators are a deviation. http://www.spagthorpe.com/production/whippet.html -- Rich P Replace .invalid with .com to reply.

Hi, A friend of mine from Sri Lanka is looking for a cylinder head for the above mentioned engine. This engine was fitted to London Taxis some long time ago and also the Morris LD van and the Austin version. This is needed to complete a restoration of the engine which confusingly enough is fitted to a Series 2A LandRover. Local modification! Thanks in advance. Alan Roberts
