WTD Tow by Annteak
Yep I need a tow, anyone fancy doing a favour for a poor Vauxhall viva owner? The car is in Melton Mowbray and I live in Nuneaton. Its nota runner so cannot move on to and off a car ramp. but the brakes do work. Doesn't have a MOT so cannot be towed legally on a dolly. Ideas and offers welcome.

Help needed with Old VW Engine by Big Belly
Hi all, I have just tried to start my old 1972 VW air cooled motor after the winter and a problem has developed which is baffling me. I have managed to start the vehicle but it appears to only be running on the two cylinders on the left bank (cylinders 2 and 3). This side of the engine is getting warm and a nice colour is showing in the exhaust. The other side however, (cylinders 1 and 4) are...

brakes Rover P4: mystery! Help wanted.. by rill2@verwijderdit.nl
Hi, I need help in solving a serious problem with my car. I do use a Rover P4 100 from 1961 as a nearly daily driver. It is the 6 cylinder, with rear drum and front disk brakes. It is a rhd-car. About 2 years ago I rebuild the front brake calipers with new stainless steel pistons, new seals and new dustcovers.

Stag Clutch by Dave Plowman (News)
Another tale of woe from my bother. He's having a go at sorting his Stag, and the main job is a new clutch. Engine and box out ok. But on removing the old clutch he found one set screw missing, and the rest not matching, some being bolts. :-( Investigation showed that some had been tapped (badly) to accept oversize set scews. Also, the dowels weren't in the flywheel, but welded to the cover. And...

Starting a Golf GTI by Willy Eckerslyke
Just about a classic I suppose - I've lumbered myself with a MK2 Golf GTI 8v scrapper in the hope of making a few bucks selling bits of it on Ebay. Trouble is, it's been standing a while and won't start, which devalues the running gear somewhat. It's a fuel issue - even after turning on the starter for a while, the plugs are dry and don't smell of petrol. Petrol is getting to the engine end...

1949 Austin A90 Convertible for sale by tlaferriere
What a cool car this is. It runs, drives, stops, cools, charges. I took it for a ride today. Was cruising nicely at about 45 MPH, once I figured out how to shift the darn thing. It has a 4 speed on the column. This is the ultimate barn find. Have registrations dating back to 1955. Restore or enjoy as is! From what I have read, there were only 350 of these imported into the USA. See...

Oil Change. by Dave Plowman (News)
The SD1 was well past it's annual oil change date - although well within the mileage limit. So decided to get it done this week, as I'm off. But the weather hasn't been too good, and I'm also getting too old to crawl around on the street in the damp. :-) So remembering a National ad, I phoned them up. About 20 quid they said, using Duckham's semi synth. So I went round to the branch. No filter...

OT: VW Parts? by Bill Davies
Certainly not a classic, but the knowledgebase here is far greater than in the wider community...... Big problem with our 1994 VW Passat 2.0 CL. Baically, the engine cuts out randomly at any time until it's fully warmed up. It can go for weeks without any problems, then fail every time the engine is cold or not fully warm, day after day. After anything from 20 seconds to about 5 minutes the fault...

Mystery controls & switches in a XJ6 by Jonathan Halsall
I recently acquired a 1984 Jaguar XJ6 4.2 Sovereign: Only probably a mystery to me, but please can anyone tell me: a) what the switch in the middle of the four electric window switches on the sloped panel after of the gear selector is for? b) the slide below the radio unit that's something to do with hot/cold air - what's that for? c) on the trip computer - the fuel function (far left button)...

Mercedes 300SE by Mark W
Not a classic (yet ?) but was looking at one of these old buses at the weekend, and this groups wide range of knowledge has always been useful in the past (a little buttering up never hurts :o) ) Shes a '92 F plater automatic, FSH and approx 70,000 on the clock. Condition and paintwork (the usual silver) certainly bears out the claims for mileage and servicing ... no visible rust and a...
