Hi All Recently played about with my earths, as various lights were playing up/flashing including the opposite direction dash light, albeit dimly, and now that I've cleaned/sorted all those out, everything works fine other than they flash quickly like when a bulb has gone. The only other thing...

Hi all, My series V8 smokes on tick over, after about 30 seconds to a minute of pulling up. It doesn't smoke when im driving, well I cant see any. Would I be right in thinking its probably worn valve guides, as it doesn't have any oil seals, as its the early heads. I have rebuilt it with all new...

Hi All Probably a stupid question, but when you hear pinking, is it really that noticeable. My V8 runs really well (I think). I've timed it by ear as it were, advancing it as much as possible, but cant advance it anymore as the vacuum advance hits the water pump. I don't think it's pinking...

Hi Can someone please help with a simple question. I guess its simple if you know the answer. Which way around does the clutch plate go on my Series 3. It's not marked on the new plate, or if it is I cant see it, and like a plonka i forgot to make a point of noting when I took the old one...

Can someone please help, suggest what my problem is. My nearside wheel appears to be leaning in at the bottom when viewed from the front. The tyre is wearing on the outer edge, and the tyre on the off side is fine. I have jacked it up, and I dont seem to have any free play anywhere. Any...

Please can someone shed some light on Series winch bumpers. Why are they so hard to find? Why aren't they readily available ? I just don't get it. Any ideas where I can get one from. Thanks
