Err... probably the wrong group but I know that there are a lot of car wise peeps here, so here goes anyway... Not quite a classic but I am looking for a smaller steering wheel for a B reg Vauxhall Carlton. Does anybody know if the smaller, older Vauxhalls like (cough) Astras and (cough, cough) Novas have the same splines / fittings as the Carlton? I hope so. I'm not too bothered about...

They wrote off a very respectable Zephyr MkII on 'The Royal' tonight. Not the usual cutaway where we find the car with 'steam' coming out of it and covered in mud, but well and truly f**ked. The 'dead' lovey was only acting, but the car wasn't. *******s. -- *This message has been ROT-13 encrypted twice for extra security * Dave Plowman London SW ...

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.

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...

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.

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...

Hi I am hoping someone could help me please with the cylinder head torque settings and valve clearances for a Ford 100E engine TIA

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...

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...

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...

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...
