Dazzled by the lights of a car waiting to leave a side turning, I managed to plow into a flood last night at about 40mph. The fan lost a few vanes into the radiator so I need a replacement in a hurry. My choice seems to be 125 quid or so plus surcharge plus a couple of days for carriage or a trawl around the local scrapyard to find something that can be made to fit. Anyone had any luck...

I am struggling to replace the front coil-springs on my '69 Pontiac GTO. I followed the workshop manual for the procedu To remove the coil I disconnected the lower control arm from the chassis, and lowered the control arm down with a floor jack. That worked ok, although it was not as safe as I would have liked. Getting the spring back in is proving a total b*****d. The spring compressors I...

Anyone got a rough idea what it costs to ship a classic in from the USA ? (I'm looking at an Austin Healey 3000 in Long Island NY). Presumeably there needs to be insurance cover while at sea, and some palavour getting it UK registered. Regards, Andrew

I'm trying to identify a master cylinder on my old kit car without too much success. It's a 5/8 Girling with integral metal fluid reservoir. It's single circuit as well. Any idea what these might have come off of? Any idea how I might identify it? Cheers, Martin.

Hi I finally got a eply to my SORN enquiry from DVLA as below: CUSTOMER REF : V169190 Thank you for your e-mail. Please accept my apologies for the delay in replying.

I'm on the home straight finally finishing the rebuild of my Vauxhall Firenza HPF after owning the car the last 5 years, she was originally restored back in 1994! After an extensive engine rebuild I now have one last piece of the puzzle to solve.........I need a company to make me a 2" exhaust system (manifold and exhaust). I have an existing manifold (1.75") as a pattern plus an existing 2"...

This blue beauty was bought new, has only about 35,000 miles on it, and has been kept in an indoor garage. Runs great and has no body damage or corrosion. V-6 engine, auto transmission. Any idea what it's worth? What would you pay for it?

Hi all, On my Rover P4 I have encountered the following problem with the brakes: one front brake (disc brake) keeps on when not applying pressure on the pedal any more... On a longer run today I did smell something wrong; after stopping there was al light haze of smoke coming from the right wheel arch, and the wheel disc was warm (compared to the other ones).

Ending soon this servo, may be of interest to some one. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2458098241&category=23013&sspagename=STRK%3AMESSE%3AIT&rd=1 Or search for item number 2458098241

Hi, For the UK members: was the Rover P4 car ever used as a police car in the UK?? I know Wolseley's did, as Jaguars Mk2 and Morris Minors, but did the P4 so too?? Just curious! Tx,

Hi all, Thank you for so many answers on my brake question!! Today I did a next check: With the car on the jack and the right front wheel taken off I pressed the brake pedal multiple times. After that the wheel flange was solid as a rock as I tried to rotate it from hand.

Regrettably I have had to part with my Triumph Heralds and am now left with a completely stripped down Herald 1200 Saloon. All parts are available and I am prepared to consider any offers. Additionally I have a spare pair of doors, a couple of Bootlids, a spare 1200 Cylinder Head, a 13/60 gearbox and a 13/60 Herald Convertible Hood Frame. I am resident in Hampshire UK. Further details available...

I'll be looking at a Mazda RX-7 Elford Turbo either this or next weekend. From the photos the car appears to be in reasonable condition, with one exception - the Essex wide-boy window tint. Personally I don't like these tints, especially as they send a certain message to the onlookers that I'm not too keen on. So, the question is - does anyone know if it's possible to remove the tint (a)...

It's windy, it's raining, and I don't feel like doing the job.. But... A mk3 Escort 1.3 estate I sold a friend a couple of months ago appears to have a dead alternator... As I found when I was called out to go help him get home. He's got a diesel Fiesta sat doing nothing, but the alternator won't fit. However, I've got a spare Lucas 45a one sat on a Triumph 1300 engine that's not in a car...
