his has been discussed at length if you look through the suspension and steering forum. BAsically in some applications polly are OK but in some cases, specifically the front upper link bushes which twist they'll squeak like nobody's business.
Don't I know it!!! A job I am not looking forward...
I've just bought (cheap) a 4.0L Thor engine. Will be top-hat linered soon. I am looking at using the front cover, with the crank driven oil pump, Nodiz pro to provide sparks. The sump is a different shape at the front and deeper at the back, so will be modded. The front is about 20mm shorter, at...
Don't know what you are all worried about. When all "new" cars have the 5G linked to the engine ECU (controlled speed, no speeding) our classics will still be manual ( footual? ) control. OH sorry ociffer no limit signal!!!
Do you want the legal position or peoples opinions. The P5 may have had front belts from new ( if registered after 1st aug 1964). so completely different. Bear i mind children can not travel in a car without wearing a seatbelt. Personally I have 4 retractable belts in my '71 P6 .Jim

One reason for fitting LED's is the reduced current consumption, i.e. less amps ( W = V x A) . Suppliers claim light output compared to a certain wattage incandescent bulb. Often the LED is whiter and brighter than a bulb. The light is also produced in a more concentrated form. This why you...
I notified my insurance of my changes, ZF transmission, alloy wheels, and they accepted these. I expect a different reaction to your LED lights because of the lack of type approval. And we all know how any excuse invalidates your policy.
I think you are refering to Peter's mention of high output bulbs, quite different ti high high WATTAGE. As you are for "off road use". High output are the same wattage, but (claim) more light.
Mr Task, don'the want to hijack your post but, the only poly bushes on my car are on the front swing arms ( on the bulkhead) and I am fed up with the noise over speed bumps. Anyone any Thoughts? Jim.
Not been on here for a while (years) but just read your whole post. Great work, but one thing I noticed. Your SD1 motor should have electronic ignition, no points and no ballast resistor. I run fuel injection and an SD1 front cover. Gives me electronic ignition and bigger oil pump. Oh and it...
you say 2,3,5 and 8 are'nt firing and the obvious fault is the right hand carb. Is it only on tickover ? When you saw fuel running into the engine through the right hand carb. did the four cylinders start firing?
