    Revitalised Wiper Delay

    And I bet that can't be done without taking it out of the car...

    Revitalised Wiper Delay

    According to Wins it's the same part, so if mine doesn't clean up it's all of a tenner...

    Revitalised Wiper Delay

    Ah, thanks for that! I'll have a look later today and see if mine's the same.

    Revitalised Wiper Delay

    A quick Google for the switch turns up lots of 3500 / V8 ones, but nothing for a 2000, or at least the 2000 isn't mentioned in any of the details... Are they different? Can't imagine a different mechanism would be used for the four pots but maybe... I'll keep looking.

    Revitalised Wiper Delay

    So... Firstly check and clean the connections. Actually, that's the second thing - first job is to find it! (Not been out to look yet!). Easy to source a replacement if required?

    Revitalised Wiper Delay

    Thinking about it, I don't think they park properly either - if I turn them off they just stop where they are, so I have to flip the switch off when the wipers are in the 'rest' position.

    Revitalised Wiper Delay

    I'd be interested in this too - my delay wipe moves the wipers halfway (to the vertical position) and then stops, and they don't move again, I have to flip them to normal and then they resume.

    Lucas Square 8

    Interesting points all! I bagged a couple of pairs of the chrome-backed ones, so I could go with two fogs or two spots, and cherry pick the best condition two. One set has arrived, look not bad, just need a bit of a clean. Has anyone ever had both? Would that look rubbish, or amazing? One of...

    Lucas Square 8

    Thanks - that's cleared that up! I'll get them in the next week or so, and might indeed go with two fogs! Just need to make some brackets!

    Lucas Square 8

    OK, what's the deal with these? Started looking around for a set, and realised that a pair consists of one fog and one spot... So, which is supposed to go on which side? I've bagged a couple of pairs of the chrome backed ones, so is there any reason why I shouldn't have two fogs, or two spots...

    S2 Bonnet

    Should have mentioned that shouldn't I? I'm in Huddersfield, West yorkshire 2. Can travel a reasonable distance though.

    S2 Bonnet

    Realised mine's got a crease / crack in it, presumably at some point in its life it's had a nudge and folded slightly... end result is it bulges up slightly, not sure it's going to be an easy repair... So... Anyone got a (non-cracked) one for sale? Thanks!!

    Went for the Coverdale Luxury Wool felted one in the end... Wheat looked a decent colour.

    Carpet fitting...

    Just ordered a set of the Coverdale Kensington in Wheat, as the nearest to Mortlake Brown. Not cheap at £650, but people here seem to agree they're pretty good. How easy is it to fit carpets? Not a thing I've ever done, or seen done. Seats out, centre console out etc... Will the old one just...

    Door Locks P6

    Nothing like dredging up an old thread! Is it possible to adjust a replacement boot lock to match the original key, so I just have the one? My original lock must have something stuck in it because the key won't go all the way in, it sticks out by a couple of mm. Replaced it for now but would be...

    Forget that, it came off with some gentle persuasion!

    Removing original radio

    Am I being blind, stupid or all three here? I can't find a way to remove the original radio. Pulled off the knobs, undone the nuts, the unit moves freely backwards an inch or so (so no bracket) but won't go further back because of the bulkhead. Is the front panel (the one with the pre-cut...

    Another daft question...

    What colour cable works best? I'd be wanting something to complement the buckskin.. Maybe a roll of the old school coax in brown...

    WooHoo!

    Tacho kit ordered, thanks for the suggestion. The hardest bit will no doubt be getting the binnacle off and the tacho apart - the electronic stuff itself looks a doddle. I'll have a go at cleaning and lubricating the angle drive while I'm in there, and will order a replacement stabiliser in...

    WooHoo!

    Very kind, but I've ordered one of the Spidya widgets as recommended above by PeterZRH. It'll be a laugh if nothing else...

    I'm older than the car now - does that mean I'm allowed? :)

    I'll have a look for the Colin Chapman edition!

    Another daft question...

    ... Does anyone have a recommendation for a cup holder? Just gone through the Starbucks drive through and realised cup holders obviously weren't a thing in the 70s! Preferably non-destructive - don't want to start drilling unnecessary holes...

    No worries, thanks for letting me know. I'll start looking properly at some of the options.
