I went to look at this Copperleaf car. It Looked beautiful, glistening in the sunshine....and with original carpets in good order I believed the mileage was genuine. I then put on my boiler suit and got down on the ground and looked underneath....Oh dear..... The outer sills that you see, as...

Do you still have the front discs for a 2000?

1966 Series 1...Both my outer dipped headlights went on a trip back from London last week.. Always check the obvious as I assumed it must be the switch or wiring.. testing the Sealed Beam 3 pin connectors with H4 pulbs from my Citroen proved the dipped part of both the SBs had gone. The dipped...

A BIG thankyou to those that run the forum and contribute..... Coming back from a classic car show a few weeks ago my 66SC started misfiring and running rough. Couldnt coax her home and had to use the RAC, (1st time in 9 years) to be recovered. The RAC man said it was the distributor to coil...

Every year my insurance company tries to put up my insurance. Having got some comparative quotes Ithen ring them.. After some chat they usually say "Ill speak to my manager.....in view of your length of time as avalued customer we'll give you a one off loyalty bonus". Hey presto renewal at near...

Thanks Demetris, I have a box full off varios grommets, neoprene bushes etc collected over 30 years of vehicle ownership so will see if i can make do and mend!

1. My understanding.....80% of the way down the gear lever sits in a ball and socket joint to allow movement. Below this the remaining 20% of the gearlever ends in a knobby end. This end sits in a loop which is connected to the gearchange shaft . Movement of the knobby end making contact with...

Thank you all for your responses. My car sailed through the MOT today. A power bypass feed to the park/sidelight switch resolved the problem. :D

I like contrasts so the other car for me is a trusty Citroen Dyane (No 3). Aircooled twin pot simplicity and as the late Michael Sedgwick summed up in his book on classic cars 'A useful hack with more performance thanyou would suspect'. Now when i want to go really fast i have a 750 motorbike..
