BOAT claim for Pindale Road, in the Parishes of Castleton and Bradwell, Derbyshire. We need statements of use between November 1985 and November 2005. As a result of a claim made in November 2005, Derbyshire County Council started their primary consultation process on 9th Dec 2015. This process...

BOAT claim for Minninglow Lane, in the Parishes of Ballidon and Brassington, Derbyshire. We need statements of use between July 1985 and July 2005. As a result of a claim made in July 2005, Derbyshire County Council started their primary consultation process on 9th Dec 2015. This process is...

The original email from DCC said: Dear Colleague I am writing to you to alert you to the public consultation that has commenced in respect of the review of the rights of way service in Derbyshire. You can read about the proposal and complete an online survey here www.derbyshire.gov.uk/rowreview...

Looking again at your picture, I am concerned by the raw red / orange rust I've circled. Rust that colour indicates movement. I can't tell if it's a bracket rubbing against the pedal box, or more worryingly, if it's a cracked pedal box, flexing every time you apply the brakes. If it is, this...

You cannot find it because the facility to lubricate the pedal pivot via a nipple doesn't exist on a Servo equipped Series 3. That facility is a feature of Series 2/2A, and Series 3 without a servo. The pivot is not under the servo. Nor is it in-line with the corresponding bolt on the clutch...

Use of the Deluxe seats implies the frame is adjustable, in that it can be moved backwards and forwards. The picture shows the frame in which the cushion sits. A similar frame is used with the standard seat cushions, when an adjustable seat was specified. Here, there is no retaining strap, that...

Your may care to monitor the Forum of the Series 2 Club, as well as here. You don't have to be a member, although normally I'd say it's worthwhile. However, as a non-driver, some of the discount benefits aren't available to you. One other caveat, the Search function on the Forum isn't the best...

I hadn't looked at the cross member photos before, and expected someone else to comment. In photo 3, if you grab that loose edge with a pair of pliers and bend it out, then look inside at the amount of rusty metal lying on the floor of the crossmember, remembering that it all started out as good...

From your description the motorcycle shocks were all gas pressurised. Standard Series dampers are not, so when off the vehicle they stay in whatever position you left them. Standard Series dampers tend to feel soft on compression, but a lot stiffer when you try to extend them. This is to match...

Don't you (the 38A) have the aerial wires in the rearmost RH side window? I'd expect two aerials there, a very short single strand for the remote unlock facility, and a more noticeable one for the radio. ISTR some later models had another radio aerial in the rearmost LH side window. ISTR (again)...

Hmmm, sorry for apparently doubting what you said, it's just that we do have to be aware of 'translation' issues :-) For me, the difficulty is 'the noise', and in particular its sudden start. Fuel lift pump? I'd say No, that couldn't cause this problem. Injection pump? If it had slipped (giving...

So you removed the cylinder head while parked in a shop car park? While doing this you didn't notice anything amiss with the pistons, like the dirt pattern on one of the piston crowns being different to all the rest? Did you do any other visual check while you had the head off? I understand you...

Yes it does. There is a good explanatory in this thread from the Series 2 Club forum. HTH

I suggest the first step is to spend £5 with DVLA via the V888 form, justifying the request by saying you want the information for personal research. This will (should) give you all the owner history the DVLA can find. This may be of interest whatever it tells you. If it's ex-military the oldest...

I thought people might be interested in the repair 'Method Statement' produced by the Highway Authority, Derbyshire County Council. This repairs the surface, and hopefully inhibits rainwater from penetrating the road infill, where it currently washes out the 'fines', thus weakening the...
