    Steering box overhaul

    Hi Can anyone recommend a firm to check and if necessary refurbish the PAS steering box on my 3500S which is an Adwest I think. The one on the car is leaking ( as is the damper ) and the steering is very loose. I managed to acquire another one but only have the sellers word for it's condition...

    Supporting car on Block paving

    We have not long lived in our current house and until now I haven’t really done much in the garage. However my 3500s project has just come back from paint and there is plenty of mechanical work to do. The last owner was a builder and he built the house. Outside is a block paved drive way and he...

    Battery terminal spanner size

    This has bugged me since I got my car. Had to refit the battery the other day which reminded me about it so here goes.... What is the correct spanner size for removing the battery terminal? It looks about 1/2" but neither it or a 13mm fit. 12mm is too small and although I can tighten it with a...

    'Our' Harvey famous in print ?

    Starter makes noise when engine starts

    The starter on my 2200TC makes a graunching noise but only when the engine starts, the sounds last for a second or two. The starter is of the pre-engaged type. I am thinking something needs lubricating but which bit ? Or am I better to replace ?

    Steering noise

    I have a loud grating noise coming from the steering. The noise sounds like a gate with a rust hinge being opened followed by a cracking noise and it happens when turning the wheel during parking. It doesn't do it at all when driving. There is no play in the steering. I have fitted 185 tyres on...
