I'm not sure if this is the right subject for this group, so I apologize if it is not so... Does anyone knows what was the diameter and width of whells (alloys) & pneumatics used on Renault 5 Maxi Turbo "Phillips Production" driven by Erik Comas in 1987? Thanks in advance!

Doesn't look like there's anyone about, and I'll more than likely have the job done by the time there is... But... Just picked up an E plate Mayfair. Electrics seem very poorly, indicators sometimes need a fuse teaking to work, that sort of thing. Headlights are being a pain though - They wouldn't go out when I got the car running, so I had a look, and a wire had been scotchlocked between the...

Try the motor museum in Coventry, also Browns Lane Jaguar plant have some kit.

I'm thinking of restoring a Mk1 Mini shell and before you say it yes I know it is a fairly stupid Idea since I'm only 17 and don't know how to weld. YET The shell needs welding to the boot floor,doors, sills and well quite a bit but I was watching a TV program where they had a VW beattle shell and sand or shot blasted it to remove all the dirt, paint and rust etc. I talked to some people about...

Reading the other thread about the P4, it sounds like the car is a bit of a handful for a novice. What would be a good car to restore if you're a novice? I fancy doing a welding course and buying an expendable heap, so if I screw it up I won't mind binning it. OTOH, it would be nice to restore something that was actually worth something when done. So rather than spend ages on a GT6 I'd rather...

I have a 1973 MG Midget with a 1275 cc engine. After reading David Visards Book it appears that the parts for the A series and A + Series engines are interchangeable. I would like to put the A+ series engine in, will it go straight in or will the crankshaft have to be swapped? The reason I am unsure is having stripped the cluth from the A+ (metro) engine the crankshaft has a clutch retainer bolt...

A couple of queries re fuel: Is Shell Optimax suitable as a replacement for leaded petrol Does it give better mpg than 2 star (in a suitable engine) TIA

Further to the recent discussion on the Riley Pathfinder and its right-hand gearchange, I happened on an a copy of Graham Robson's book "The Cars of BMC" today, and it turns out that my memory was faulty. Not only did the Pathfinder's successor, the Two-point-Six, retain the right-hand gearchange location, but the Wolseley 6/90, of which of course the Two-point-Six was a badge-engineered...

I need to remove the cylinder head on my Alfa 33 16v. Does anyone know if I can remove the R/H head (Cylinders 1 & 3) without removing the engine from the car? If not, could I lower the engine and twist it far enough to lower the cylinder head and remove it off the bolts? Can anyone (who's done this delicate trick) please let me know in the next couple of days?

Having thrown a piston in the 1098 in my Morris Traveller and with another European trip imminent I decided to replace it with a 1300. Thats taken a bit more resources than I had originally planned including new manifolds and exhaust, carbs, even throttle cables etc, but while he was there Ive had a disc brake conversion done too. Since the new power curve wont fit the original diff Ive had that...

I have a 1972 GT6 MkIII and need to replace both rear trunnions in time for the MOT in a months time. My local garage and the Haynes manual imply that it is a pig of a job to get the old ones out. Can anyone give me any tips about the best way to approach this. Also is it a good idea to replace some of the other bushes while I am doing his work. Any help gratefully recieved Jon
