I felt the same way about it myself until I went to the website. They
have some pretty convincing news video reports from USA. One in
particular (Fox News) was quite interesting, it featured the Colarado
Police actually testing it under there own conditions and quite openly

I believe that the heater fan on a Mk3 Capri packing in is quite a common
problem, so before I pull the dash apart perhaps someone can suggest a
likely cause / first place to check? I have made sure that the connectors in
the back of the switch on the dash are connected properly and ...

Need to make some king pins for a pre war car, simple 5/8" dia x 4" length
with an oil groove. A hardness test on the old pin shows 598 Rock. Im told
that 'silver steel' is not sutable for king pins. We have some off cuts of
EN8/16/32 kicking around the shop. Will any of these ...

Who can help me with a source for a odd sized timing belt ?
The old belt has given up after 13 years...
(It was used in a IBM Printer from the seventies)

I wanted to buy a car and import in my coutry (Italy).
Italy has no rules in favour of vintage and classic cars, so customs and VAT
are the same for cars of any age (35% of declared value total).
It was told to me that there are some EC countries with different rules,

We have a brand new never registered, 0 miles (I think) mark 4 Escort
that was given us by Ford for engineering teaching. It is perfect.
It has to go and management want to simply crush it! or cut it in half
arghh!

Sorry, slightly off topic here though it could arguably have been a
future classic. I'm currently scrapping a 100,000 mile 1990 BMW 316i Lux
written off due to flood damage and just want to check I'm not wasting
anything with potential value. I've stripped it down to rolling ...

I have bought a steel strap for my 998 Sprite engine, and had the cap
machined flat of course. But the oil pick-up pipe is mounted via a bracket
which is fixed to the original centre cap. I'm reluctant to drill and tap
the strap - rather defeats the purpose of extra strength. Any ...

Hi - how did you get on with the Pertronix unit? Did it arrive, and have you
fitted it?
Cheers, Ken.

OK, I know it's not a classic but I used to get a lot of helpful answers
when I had the P6 so I thought I'd try here first.
It's a 1990 Micra with 107K on the clock and 12 months MOT. The timing belt
threw it's hand in and I'm quoted ?400 to fix it. Obviously that's a non

Got a Pacific DVD player from Asda last week. It played a couple of DVDs OK,
but not another I bought.
So I took it back as all my dvds play OK on the PC, all are R2 originals.
Now I'm getting a bit frustrated

Hi people,
I need a  SDI 3.5 V8 + ancillaries , BW65 Bellhousing, T/C and flex plate
etc etc to get my (non standard) Landrover going again.
If any one knows of a suitable donor please drop me a line.

I need to fit new linings to all the shoes. I assume this is pretty easy:
1) Start from centre
2) Firmly clamp lining to shoe and insert rivet
3) Put a steel drift/punch in a vice

Hi you english guys!
Today when I took my car for going home there was no
