Well folks, I have built the engine and gearbox, and assembled them
together. One problem - clutch won't disengage. The release bearing is too
far from the clutch itself. It's a 948 block and flywheel, and I'm using a
1098 rib case box. The clutch is a 9-spring, and I have used ...

Any one now where I can buy Morris Oils  Superblend Zero Lead 2000
additive in north lincolnshire please?

I've recently acquired yet another Herald, which brings the total to eleven.
The car is reasonably solid but scruffy with filler in wheelarches and a
poor interior. There was just a couple of days MOT left when I bought it,
though that's now expired. The biggest sticking point is ...

I acquired a '52 MG TD yesterday. Perhaps someone would be good enough
to answer the following:
1) On an oil change, is fully synth good for a classic, or is it
better to use an old-fashioned multi-grade?

The other thread about electrical faults prompted me to mention this
one. I have a Kenlowe fan fitted to my Vitesse with a manual switch

The vendor tells me it has a weird electrical problem and I'm keen to get

I have been offered a spitfire which was registered in January 1973.How can
I check if it qualifies for tax exempt status?
Does the chassis number help and if so where can i find numbers made pre
1973?

What utterly bog-standard looking motor would you most like to soup up to an
evil extent, and why?
Mine would be (sorry 'bout this) Mk 1 Orion, because I had a 1.6i new as my
first ever car. I'd want the RS Turbo engine in it with suspension and brake

Not sure if he's here but a guy collected me a MK1 Scirocco from darn
sarf.
Need another collection doing if possible from the above asap or
anyone else for that matter? :-)

I've just had the renewal in for the SD1 and it's gone up again by
considerably more than inflation. And I've never claimed.
I'm with Hall & Clark and they use the RAC, but say they're going to
change. But not soon enough for me.

If anyone would be interested in swapping a 1953 Prefect with 12 Months MOT
and TAX for an MGC-GT then mail me.
I have pictures I could mail too.
Heres a picture.

Walking back from work to my car this afternoon I noticed a silver/light
grey TR7 rolling up to some traffic lights.
I'm not a classic car enthusiast, by any means, but I was struck by how
good it still looks. I think svelte would be the right word. Not only

On my piece of British automotive history, a P4 100 from '61 a rear
axle of the Salisbury type is mounted.
All standard..
The gear-oil I fill into that acle is yellowish out of the bottle..
