Gentlemen, Unfortunately for me I cannot buy new rockers anymore for my Volvo 1800E, so have decided to have them skimmed instead due to some of them being slightly worn. I would be interested knowing from the group if this can make matters worse, better, or hardly any difference. Respectfully

Hello, My partner misjudged a bend in our '72 MGB GT on Saturday and, to cut a long story short, we ended up on our side (nearside) in a ditch. Both of us were fine, and the car has sustained surprisingly little damage. The left front wing and left door have both dented, but no paint breakage. The windscreen is broken on the left side, and there is kinking in the roof - it looks like the...

Hi, Does anybody know what is meamt with R100 and R200 in connection to the Rover (Metro) car type? Where can I find more about this?? Tx rob

I use a 1966 Land-Rover with a Ford Essex V6 engine conversion (lovely old thing!) to do local trips towing a powerboat, carrying canoes and windsurfers etc. The last garage selling LRP locally is ceasing to do so shortly, leaving me with a problem. I suspect that unleaded would damage this engine in time, which leaves some form of additive as the only practicable option. Driving any distance to...

Hello there, I've recently got my hands on a 4.0 XJS. The speedo gets to about 50 and then starts wobbling about, before heading upwards. The result is a shortfall of about 5-10 mph. Does anybody know what the speed in gears are? Per 1,000 revs in fourth and fifth (it's a manual). I have googled but can't see anything obvious anywhere.

Hi, this is a 52 MG TD. The gauge is non-electrical, and appears to work by the expansion of a fluid in phial, which is then pushed up a pipe to activate the gauge. As I say, assume this is the way it works, but not sure. Anyway, I recently removed the rad, and when I put it all back together, the gauge stopped working. I don't know if I nipped the pipe somehow and broke or squashed it, or the...

I seem to remember seeing ads for door / window rubber restorer somewhere. Does the stuff work or is it cack? I'm thinking of 15 year old rubbers on a MK2 golf that are getting a bit ropey (window scraper and door seal specifically).

Hi, I want to top the the oil up in a rear axle, as previously it was leaking, but the filler plug is seized. Someone has tried to remove it before slightly rounding the nut so that now a socket will not fit. I have brought some stillsons, but has anyone got any tips to make it easier to get off without damaging the plug, for example would heating the plug up first help? ...

I am having a clear out and I have come across a new McPherson type suspension leg for a Ford. Trouble is, that I don't know what it fits, I could hazard a guess at Capri, but does anyone know what it really fits: It is a Fitchel and Sachs leg marked with a big L and the numbers: TF32x152A 04 1500 100 227 H75AB 3K 034 AA Any ideas please?

There was a thread a little while ago about this but it ended up in a discussion about insurers own breakdown cover. My insurer doesnt offer this, and my current breakdown cover mob dont either, so I started ringing round to cover a 9 day trip to France for the Minors On Tour event next weekend. The ONLY mob prepared to quote are so far the AA, with a rather entertaining offer of £89 for the...
