    Ammeter driver.....

    Here's an esoteric question if ever there was one - has anyone thought of driving the ammeter with a closed loop current detector? For the non-electronically minded this is what a current measuring clamp meter uses i.e. you stick the battery cable through it and it can measure current to/from...

    Interior retrims..... POST YOUR PICTURES

    Hi all, I'm looking to have this done next year. I've seen work of varying quality over the years. I'd appreciate if we can get together a gallery of work, including where it was done as a reference (price if you so choose to disclose this). I'm very tempted to NOT use leather and go with...

    Electric steering pump in a V8

    A few questions. 1. I know the electric pump has been fitted to 4 cyl cars. Are then any confirmed V8 fitment? If so what pump and any pictures? 2. Any technical specs on the Citroen Saxo pump? i.e. "idle" and "full load" current draw? Thanks, Peter

    Series 1 switches. The securing rings.

    Hi, Anyone know if I can buy these chrome rings as a set? The switches are ok.. Mine are quite mangled and it kinda spoils the look. These use the two hole key method to tighten and I think the ring underneath is soft brass, so the result is pretty much inevitable. Thanks,

    Interior firewall picture needed

    Hi all. Stupidly I covered this with sound deadener without marking the holes for the shin bin retainer straps. I marked the P-clips but not these for the straps. Anyone got a good picture for reference? Much appreciated.

    Alternator upgrade AC11 to modern A127 type

    Hi folks, anyone want to check my process for swapping these? The newer type have internal regulation (no more relays) and better output at low speeds. Disclaimer: Use this at your own risk. If your car explodes/catches fire that's your problem not mine. ISOLATE THE BATTERY 1. Isolate the...

    Multiple coil failures

    Hi, had my 3rd one fail after only 3 days this time, any ideas? What happens is the car runs but misfires intermittently on acceleration. I fit a new coil and all is well. Repeat. The last Bosch coil lasted 8 months. I'm running a 35DLM8 with the side mounted switching module and a 3 ohm...

    Have I trashed these heads?

    Is this scrap? Shelf collapsed and this cylinder head fell about 2ft on to concrete... The aluminum is pushed up in the corner and will need to be be removed but I don't want any higher compression and avoid the surface being skimmed. Not at all happy

    Where best to mount a fire extinguisher?

    With reference to my recent fuel-hose and carburetor issues, what would you think is the best place to mount a fire-extinguisher without robbing too much of the already limited space? Alternatively, just carry it in the boot?

    V8 rings - worth doing/economical

    Hi, I'm refreshing a 100,000 mile 10.5:1 engine. Compression is even but about 15-20 lb down on factory figures as you might expect. My question is how difficult is it to re-ring the motor and is it cost effective to keep it running in top condition rather than look to a new engine in say...

    Looked for a 15 lbs radiator cap, found 3xLHD 3500S!

    Couldn't find a 15lbs radiator cap anywhere so I headed to a Land Rover specialist I was directed too, Autoland in Wetzikon near Zürich. I started talking to a man in the queue and mentioned it actually wasn't for a Land Rover but for a Rover P6. The reply was "I've got 2 of those just across...

    High (ish) lift cam and later cylinder heads - carb needle advice

    Hi all, The question is in the title. I have a mild Crower cam and the better flowing later heads with 4.6 valves and guides. The goal is to add 30 bhp and at least match what a good 3500S puts out at the wheels but with my ZF auto box in the way. Obviously the answer is to get it on a...

    BW35 setup

    Hi, this is redundant after my ZF conversion. It did drive but needs reconditioning and might be handy if you need one for an exchange. Complete with converter, bellhousing, flexplate, piping. Free to anyone in the South if I can drop it off easily on my travels to Cornwall. It goes in the...
