I've just checked and Rimmer seem to have got them in stock again - at 186 quid inc vat and carriage. So problem solved. -- *I was once a millionaire but my mom gave away my baseball cards Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound.

can any one give me advice on how to remove the studs that are used to bolt the wheels on to the car? some one on one of the forums suggest useing a lump hammer, but i do not like the sound of that. also where might i get replacement studs and nuts?

So today I was driving around in my 67 MG Midget. Made a sharp turn and heard a lound tearing crunch come from somewhere up forward in the engine compartment. Kept on cruising thinking everything was fine, then went to turn again. This time the steering wheel slips for half a rotation with no movement from the wheels before grabbing. Got out and inspected. Shaft turns with the wheel, but slips...

In light of another thread in uk.legal about an unlicenced car, a question has occurred to me - when does a collection of parts become a car for the purposes of road tax (or, more appropriately, SORN)? I have a car purchased middle of last year that is in midst of a rebuild, it has a registration number and is in fact insured should anything happen to it, but its certainly not a car in the...

Anyone seen the latest issue of PC, looks like the FIAI is trying to define what will be classed as a historic vehicle, it seems to come down to the vehicle being 30 or more years old, maintained in original condition (does that mean period extras or how it would have come off the production line?) and *not* used as the owners main method of motoring. The point of all this is, whilst we...

Copied from alt.binaries.pictures.auto. I hope this is true and not another case of "the unknown cars in the Portugese shed". So, keep looking in the old garages and sheds, you never know your luck. All I ever found in a collapsed garage was an MG 1100. Malcolm -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ...

Just a few notes on things which have happened this year, posted in the hope that they may save others from making the same mistakes. My car (as long-term readers will know) is a 1966 E-Type Roadster, owned by me since 1976. It's been through all the usual evolutions from old sports car in decent nick, to everyday transport, to rusting old heap which will get restored some day, to fully...

Having just stripped down my donor car (1973 Rover P6 2000TC) ready to haul off to the scrapyard, I can't help feeling that it's rather a waste. While it does need the odd patch in the usual places, it's nowhere near as rusty as I'd thought. So if you're struggling to restore a terminally rusty 4-cyl P6 and are within reach of Anglesey, it's yours. Just the base unit. _Everything_ else has...

Hi Guys&Gals, Does anyone know where i might find a Rear Main Journal Flange for a 1929 ohc Morris Minor. It's the original parallel type with a keyway. In 1930 they improved the design and made them with a tapered flange which never wore out, but i need the earlier type (which does, even though it took nearly 80 years!) Hope to hear from someone soon All the best for 09 Keith.

I need a solenoid for the starter (pre-engaged type) on the E. I begrudge spending £145 + VAT on a complete exchange unit when it's only the solenoid that's died! The Lucas part no is 76476A. Should be £15-£20 or so. So far tried Holdens, Vehicle Wiring (Tom Hodgkiss) and Auto Electrical Supplies, all of whom have been good in the past at supplying obscure/obsolete parts. Any ideas?

Dear All I was recently given some front brakes shoes which purport to be for a Ford Anglia 105E and should therefore also fit a Reliant Rebel. However, although they are the right diameter and width, they are not quite the same: the lining is a little smaller (round the circumference) and there is one less mounting hole and one less notch on the flange. With a little adaptation they would fit,...

I've managed to get a guaranteed value policy for £11k on my freshly rebuilt motor, but I know it would cost more than £14k to have a replacement built for me if the worst happens. I'm happy that the GV is 'correct', but where can I buy an *additional* policy to 'top up' that £11k to the amount it would cost to replace? Gap insurance seems to be the term for the policy I want, but it seems...

Hi, Advice please - I want to sell my 1974 BMW 2002Ti automatic, 55,000 miles, 2 owners, but: a. Have little idea of its market value b. Have little idea of where to advertise it. all suggestions welcome Thanks,

Anyone know when double yellows were introduced? OK, I admit it, been watching Heartbeat.... Geoff MacK

Does anyone know the whereabouts of Morris Minor JDC 471 ? J
