But anyway I will of course be grateful and thank anyone actually “in real person” if anyone can help

Sorry Dad

Hi has anyone got a RRC V8 in the Somerset area that I could come and have a look at and take some pics for reference? There’s a few bits mainly engine bay that I’ve trouble positioning

Thanks doug , great help and much appreciated !!

Thank you very much !!!! Great help

And does anyone know of a place that sells a “selection” box ?

im looking to buy a selection of nice new yellow passivated nuts bolts and washers. What would be the most used size across the classic with regards to fixtures and fittings. I’m thinking mostly M6 and M8?

I appreciate any help, thank you

That’s really useful Doug thank you. The windscreen washer bottle side seems to share all the same hardware, the drivers side where the abs is mounted however is very different. So I’ll need a bit more help on that if anyone can. Doug on mine there’s like a silver capacitor type thing attached...

Hi Doug Thanks , It might well be useful. It was stupid really not taking any photos of before it was stripped. The problem is it’s been a while so my memory of exactly where everything goes has gone .

Is there anyone out there with a v8 vogue that could send me some pics of the engine bay specifically the inner arches. I need to re bolt all the Bits on the arches, tanks, coil, abs etc etc. It means redrilling new holes . So good shots of those areas for reference would be much appreciated.

And the statistic for accidents involving classic cars on old tyres . I’d bet there is barely a statistic for it .

Good read and interesting. Direct me to the bit that says about the “tyres age” causing these accidents. I couldn’t find it.

The tyres are fine mikie, we’re not talking perishes and cracked tyres here, my friend runs the same on his restoration he managed a full set he has another full set for his 2nd RRC resto. What is more interesting he works in a lab for Dunlop, so he certainly knows plenty about rubber, he said...

MOT failure tyre over 10 years old . Happened never.

Better tell that to all the classic car clubs then. And anyone that has a car over ten years old.

Are you doing a resto?

Plenty of meat! That’s a good find. Michelin do the XZL but it doesn’t have the siping for snow. Unless they do an M+S version which would be very close to the xm+s 244

If I get one more I’ll let you know if I come across any others

I’ve got 4 , 3 are virtually like new condition. One has been used but still 8mm. I want 1 more in top condition. There were 4 in Germany that’d never been unwrapped €90 I missed out though. I believe the G wagon was issued with the same tyres as the RRC.
