Gallery? wheres the gallery? I miss that from the old Steve Cook days.
but not digging the Mercedes bling over the rear lights :(
Alex, thats a gorgeous cottage!!!
It depends whether fragments have damaged the cylinders, apparently its a good idea not to read about this on the internet! The valve seat can be sucked back into the inlet manifold, and then sent to...
Got the alternator fitted no probs, and all charging. Bonus is on the alternator I got, I have a 12v pulse output, so I can wire up the tachometer too.
However it's all irrelevant for now, as I have...
Stoneleigh is a NO! Loud ticking noise from engine, thought it might have been the cam lifters, so I changed some over from another engine I have, but now it sounds like the engine is eating itself,...
Good point well made :)
It lacks any kind of charm, I like houses with charm, I suppose I've been spoilt by oak beams, leaded windows, and 15th Century construction!
And surely a Nova belongs on a drive outside a house of...
Ghastly, it looks like an office I used to work in. In fact it looks like a lot of the 1960's concrete office buildings that have been updated by painting the concrete.
Yes Dave you will find out that whether you pass or fail all you get is a rather bland piece of white paper, even the advisories are on the same A4 sheet. As my MOT man said, its just a receipt now...
I had a little window tonight to get this alternator on, then I'm away till Saturday, and the list of jobs pre Stoneleigh looks a bit scary :) At least thats one less.
Thanks Giles, but need them quicker than post. I have found a motor factors in Maidenhead, so looks like I am sorted
Maplins do 4.8 and the smaller ones.
Ebay no good, need to get them today or tomorrow, must be a physical shop.
I'm ringing around motor factors, and no-one seems to stock them
Is there somewhere (a physical shop) that sells 6.3 mm spade connectors (female). I can order these from RS Components, but in 100's and I need 2 - £7 is a lot of money for 2 terminals! Most places I...
Tyre pressures done (yes they were in the low 20's) and I will take it in to sort out the tracking. The alternator is the problem now. I won't get to Stoneleigh on battery power :)
Suspension creaks sorted, so one less strange noise :)
Road testrs have revealed two things, firstly the front end is terribly skittish, it almost feels like the front wheels are doing two...
They obviously don't love it too much, or it wouldnt be on eBay :)
I have been looking forward to on road engineering for so many years. I know why the suspension creaks, my silly fault, I tightened up the end plates whilst the car was still jacked up, so I've got...
Only 2 years Lauren :) I was MOT'd last year but to be honest, with no windscreen, windows, interior and without any particular colour to the bodywork, the idea of the drive to stoneleigh was not...
Right MOT done, through with no advisories, so all ready for a trip to Stoneleigh. Driving around today, the cooling seems to work, with the fan cutting in when needed, but most of the time sitting...
well on course for Stoneleigh - MOT passed, no advisories- magic!!!
Yes, now we know what wire wheels look like on a Nova - not very good!
An American brought the rights?? Where did he bring them to or from?
On course for an Avante debut :)
Oh yes, its a lovely moment when it roars into life. I couldnt get my beast started last weekend, blew out the fuel pipes, made sure there was fuel getting to the carb, and went for it again - a...
