Folks As the title says, I'm after a pair of front shock absorbers for the Lady C ('66 2000SC). If anyone has a pair I'd be gateful. Thanks Dave

This title is probably a bit harsh, but I thought I'd let forum members know that I've taken the decision to retire Lady Charlotte from everyday use. She's done me proud over the past few years, with only one breakdown requiring a recovery truck in the past 5 years and 82,000 miles. Even when...

Folks As the title suggests, I'm having a bit of a 'mare with exhaust valves on my good lady. You may recall back in February I posted that she had burnt out a valve on No 4 cylinder, 40k miles after doing the same on No 2 cylinder. Well, 4 months and just shy of 6,ooo miles later she's done...

Folks I'm considering converting my '66 2000 SC from dynamo to alternator charging. I've managed to get hold of an alternator mount, but it seems a bit oddly shaped (sorry no pic yet). My 2000 parts and workshop manuals only cover dynamo and aircon vehicles with alternators and don't give a...

Folks Is there a recommended mileage for replacing the timings chains? Just wondering with all the mileage I do whether it's a job I need to factor in over the chrimbo hols. Lady C has now done 76k. In my search of the forum for info on this subject I came across this thread from vaultsman...

I'm always on the look out for shows that I haven't been to before and with this being a pretty lean year for shows due to other commitments I spotted this event down in Cordbridge, just off the A68. It's organised by the MG Northumbria Club and held at the Corbridge Rugby Club. Lots of cars...

Some of you may have heard that we're moving house in a couple of months, perhaps as early as next month :D . This is the new house and it's all ours, well, apart from the 20% owned by the Scottish Government through the Help to Buy Scheme....oh and the other bit that the bank owns :roll...

I have 2 four pot rev counters in my spares box, one of which I'm planning on fitting to the Lady C in due course. They are slightly different part numbers and connector configurations and I wondered if anyone could identify the likely dates they would have been fitted. First one is an RVI...

Folks We're going to be moving house in the next couple of months. Mortgage approval came through today so we're buying for a change after renting for the last 5 years :D That does however mean that this old lady will have to go as I have nowhere to keep her. See this thread for details...

Anyone got any top tips for getting grease into all 4 end caps of a universal joint? Despite greasing them before I fitted them a few months ago, one of them seems to have dried out. I can only get grease to come out of one end cap seal when I grease it :evil: I've read that heating the end...
