Cubby box is in, tightenedbthe thread rivets a little bit better, now you can lift the car on the box! Looks nice, if you ask me!

You forgot skin tight Lycra. Plus on a bike you don’t stop for traffic lights

Its like riding a bike, tall gears are more difficult to pedal, you have find the easiest gear to maintain speed without too much effort, all depends on hills, wind and energy.

Cost cutting on materials and the process. Cheaper materials and the bare minimum work means it’s not a permanent solution.. but 3 years down the line it’ll be a different team in the council and won’t be their problem any more. They can only...

Retired for 21 years but still paying my taxes :( What I can never understand is why the repairs don't last, is it shoddy workmanship or cost cutting on materials? When the Yanks built air-bases here during WW2 they used huge machines that...

The roof? Just a thought if thay used sea foam and it dried on in hot sunshine

Rails of correct section available from YRM. A mate fitted a gas strut on his, says it is nice door can remain open on a side slope or in wind. However when he opens door a bit off it goes flying to a crash as it stop, you have to hang on to it...

Correct. I misunderstood the OPs request. I 'think' les Edwards at classic rides fiddles with oe radios a bit.

This was an abandoned project of my eldest son. Everything else has beeen repaired or replaced including new chassis. I am rebuilding with another son. Almost complete. On another note, I have seen comments regarding the rear check strap. Has...

Was it like it before the clean ? THAY may have used the wrong stuff or to aggressive cleaner

you should look at the gear ratios, in the 5 speed 4th is 1 to 1, in the 8 speed 7 is 1to1, the later box may have 8 gears but thats only to fil in the spaces between the 5 speed to make changing even smother, the manual 6th gear is a lower gear...

Don't spend it all at once.

... A bit unhappy to find that the bonnet paintwork on the old P38 is a bit "rough". I had the car cleaned inside & out today and brought it home and the top on the bonnet is all gnarly and "pitted" feeling. :( There's "spots" on it too like the...

If you were right then everybody would drive at the maximum speed on the highway in a lower gear than top gear. For example in your eight speed Range Rover you would shift down to seventh gear or even into sixth gear, for lower torque. No one...

Worth every penny of our taxes. Really makes me proud to be working!

Hello, Mate!!! Long time no see/read! How iz you?? :):):)

I have since bought a cheap metal detector. It has found quite a few bits and pieces and only take s a few minutes to assemble. But of course it is also better if I put a big tarp down under the vehicle.

Did you get the dimensions? Are you having to rivet on the tie down tabs? Someone with a 109 must have the dimensions. Is this what you mean?

Whichever it is, it's true 😂

Unfortunately not just your tyres. The roads in the uk are simply shocking! Even the relaid surfaces aren't flat or smooth and still take longer than ever to do!!!!

I spent 30 odd years doing diagnostics on euro crap and none of that covered everything either regardless of cost! I always swore not to own something I have to plug in to fix but here we are (doh!)

AFAIK, the Nanocom does not cover Sat-Nav or Radio.

'Tell you something I've found on my RRC (yes I know that's not a P38, but the same thinking could apply) in that tyre age can make a noticeable difference to the ride on tarmac. My '87 Vogue, on coils obviously, has General Grabber AT tyres that...
