  1. Isn't the overdrive inhibited by coolant temp signal ? Failing that check solenoids and connections on gearbox
  2. "Buy with confidance!"- That puts me off right away -lol
  3. I worked on the lanc many years ago , you had to clamber over a spar half way up to the cockpit along the fuselage , doing this 30 times a day soon became a pain ... I did a bit on the engines too , and a magnificent noise they made even at idle power .
  4. "The Soarer's weight is mental! 1700kgs!" Actually a less mental 1600kg , 50 more than a TT
  5. You have to laugh , a bazillion minis were kept on the road with a screwdriver ,matchbox strike for points and plug spanner , now 50 years on ,you need a specialist -progress !!
  6. You appear to have misfire on light loads and lower rpms , not as much on heavy loads or high rpms -right ? normally this is the opposite with ignition defects , but advance retard needs checking - a good old fashioned timing light helps here . worth checking your "new" carb , often air leaks past the shaft that holds the throttle plate at each end (there is a seal here or bush) there should be no play in the shaft -its a common wear point in the SU , cost about 1 groat ,as I remember
  7. Hi , got 2 myself , fine cars they are ! the early cars pre 93 are more problem prone and gearboxes can either be good/bad . what mileage and or service history ? this is critical if pushing power up . some would say a cheap na swap would be going backwards - lol
  8. There is an element of fake rolex about them .....cheaper and can fool most people , they also can be reliable .........
  9. After a couple of years away , Jaguar are back with a bang . As DI tuning evolves this big cat will growl some more ! I'd flop out my zimmer into one in a heartbeat
  10. Given the cheap electronic costs - you could fit 2 small rear door cameras and 2 small TFT screens ,one each side , ie no wing mirrors at all and get change from the 420 quid !!!!! One 3 inch TFT in each A post base , camera blended into the hole where the mirrors were , no drag ,no heaters , no fold necessary , and zoom available as well as wide angle if you wished
  11. I think there have been injector issues with the mondeo, they need re adjustment at dealers on routine service ,this seldom happens once cars are of an age , leads to overfuelling and injector and cats failing
  12. If these are adjustable AGX , ill have them
  13. ttp://www.flints.co.uk/acatalog/Wonderflex_3.html Wonderflex3 is what you need flints can supply,the thin stuff is very flexible and sticks to anything ,can be easy layered , the thicker 4 mm stuff is Les bendy but you could make your box from it

    Waxoyl?

    Dinitrol AV8. Works a treat but a sod to get out of your hair , don't know price for a tin (we use it at work) probably expensive as it is good . Wet it leeches into gaps ,dry its a hard shell. A coat on shocks and they will never corrode. Only thing is the colour a brown which at a glance looks odd. In summary awesome diy product.

  16. Why such shock at the poll? This is the generation that created the nanny state.....Report to your local Diversity Officer at once ,for retraining
  17. Abz would still finish last, even when driving his Supra. And therefore he should be the first to be made to wear one of those really uncool black hats - lol
  18. If we keep on legislating we would all end up being Amish,after a week chopping wood and such like , we would take our black buggies to Santa pod , where strangely every race would end in a draw !
  19. Think of the children ! They should also make abs mandatory on prams , restrict kids to playing dominos (with the correct safety gear), conkers !!!- Ban!!. Smoking , ban, people with glasses , ban, tall people ban,short people ban, long hair ,ban ,people with coughs ,ban, people with nervous twitches , ban, in fact you are all banned !-lol that should clear up the roads ..
  20. Do you also do well behaved coatings?
  21. "for the record - don't agree with the strikes, country has enough problems as it is for these people to be adding to the problem." Then you must prepare to bend over and take what's coming ...
  22. Using laminova also has 2 other advantages , you can use an independent heat rejection ,ie its own water system ,which adds massively to cooling and it can be selected on/off on demand
  23. Just wait till he ties elastic bands round your balls ..
