I noticed one of my indicators had water in it. On further inspection the drain hole in the rubber was at the top and letting water in as opposed to draining out at the bottom. Turns out 7 out of 8 had the drain in the wrong place. So I decided to resolve today and was disappointed to find...

On Saturday I did a brake service - new brake fluid and flushed it all through and bled the system on my own and there was still some softness to the pedal. I then adjusted the drums with the snail adjusters. Then with the help of my Mrs I bled the system again by starting at rear passenger...

As I work through the little things for tidying up the old S2a/3 crossover, the next thing I’d like to do is replace this on both doors along with the locks. As you can see from the outside pic they’ve seen better days! The bit I’m after is the nock that the lock fixes onto as per the internet...

Looking to do an oil service on my S2a/3 crossover with the 2.25d engine. I know I need 20W50 mineral but wondering if people can recommend a decent oil at a decent price. Additionally I’m doing the oil and fuel filters - any recommendations on good brands and ones to avoid! Thanks

I don’t appear to have any illumination on my dashboard. I only got the car yesterday so don’t know when it stopped working! There’s a switch on the dash that I think is to turn it on/off but it doesn’t do anything. I’ve tested it across the rear terminals in the off and on positions and I’m...

Yesterday I became the new owner of a Series 2a. I already have a few things that I need to sort but hey that’s part of the fun isn’t it? The wipers work fine, the washer jet doesn’t (assuming I’m doing the right thing by pushing in the knob). I’ve tested the pump which works fine. The earthed...

Hi all, I’ve just become the proud owner of a 1970 Series 2a. She’s in reasonable condition but I’ve already discovered a few things that need further investigation……. I have a feeling I will be on here seeking help quite a bit! Dave
