Not sure if it is just me but some pictures in older threads seem to not be showing?

Marty's engine rebuild thread is one example i can think of?

Is it me or a problem with the pub?

Same here.

My disks might as well be bent at right angles as well

Oh right.

can it be replaced for a 2nd hand unit or does it have to be coded to the car?

The three Amigos!

Bastards!

Hello Gents..

I've had a problem with the amigos for a while, weirdly for the MOT they vanished but reappeared a day later!

I've a sneaking suspicion that my accumulator may be to blame as when I first start it the pump is running for a good 30 seconds and when you prod the brake it always comes on, it even comes on when the brake pedal is held steady it buzzes initially when the brake pedal is pressed but if left on steady it primes again!

Also if the lights for whatever reason stay off, pumping the brake will cause them to come on, the pump will also run continuously if the brake pedal is pumped..

Activating the T/C on a slippy surface will also cause it to misbehave.

Brake fluid was new 2yrs ago and according to my tester has no water in it..

Oh and they can stay away when initially started however a mile down the road they'll flash up and the speedo will drop to 0 and then go back to normal

Cheers!!

For rich wankers "cough" bankers..

or a complete idiot.

probably both,.

Its a very Niche end that is being exploited.

Destroying the originality of a classic and selling it for 10x its market value seems to be becoming popular

18" are the max for me on any car tbf.

I've seen l322s with 22s really makes ya wonder

Yes Silver sparkle is the colour most came in.. .

I've seen a few MY2000 and 01 plate cars some with Hurricanes others with Comets whether mine were spec'd with them or if they were the only option i don't know..

James Taylors book alluded to there being a supply shortage of hurricanes in 2001
They're my favourite wheel.

Same for all Land rovers.

And a Nissan Patrol I serviced a few months ago..

Even the old Land cruisers have awkward prop bolts

What next?

An EV Lambo countach? or espada?

Maybe even a miura!

I doubt they'll even sell 1/2 of what they estimate..

How many people would spend 245k on an Old 2dr classic?

I'd rather a brand new Ferrari..

2dr classics are horrible fucking things to drive.

They even do an XK120 which is a tad odd, being the only reason you'd buy one for the XK engine, what a nice noise and driving experience..

Nah lets remove the engine and throw in a washing machine motor and call it better, or lower maintenance..

If rich young or old wankers are too lazy or stupid to not be able to look after an original classic then leave them well alone..

No need to bastardise the classic car movement with EV's too...

An odd one this..

The frame that my glovebox bolts to is getting very crusty due to past water ingress

is it possible to replace that section?

It's still solid enough to paint " I think"

but eventually it'll rot through..

my car has weird issues! lol

Those wheels look smart.

Just need to bolt them to the car and have a complete piccy ;)

It was a huge load off my mind David, I has a feeling it was going to pass almost everything underneath is new lol

But being that it is my only form of transport I would of been a bit stuck!!

Smart looking motor, the old XK6 and V12 are nice motors, with wire wheels it looks like good fun..

Can't imagine it weighs that much...

as for the Alfa when I saw "spyder" my mind immediately thought of the 1960 and 70s model! Hmm....

That ronart looks interesting..

The Alfa spyder i'd be tempted if I could afford one, don't think i'd fit in it would make a nice yard ornament though LOL

I was going to pressure wash it underneath but the cold horrible weather put me off lol

The Oil leak is the front pump seal for the autobox, I need to address it one day LOL

it isn't too bad, but still noticeable!

with the new shockers she drives like new!

love it..

Richard, I don't envy you and that paperwork, what will be on the trailer this trip?

The job isn't bad the only issue being you usually need to replace the tranny cooler too due to the steel nut welding itself to the ally cooler and wrecking the threads.

Passed!

Well chuffed and only one advisory for an oil leak..

Only 5k since the last MOT which is around what Richard does every month lol

could also be the front pump seal which is quite common on the HP22 as the bearing that supports the input shaft wears and the shaft starts to "orbit" instead of spin true and it wears the seal..

Mine has it, not too concerning on mine "yet" definitely worth pulling the inspection plate off the bellhousing and having a look inside to see if the inside of the bellhousing is dry, usually it collects on the cover and you get a nice mess when you remove it!

And as Richard said it can also be the cooler lines weeping.

I've since fitted the new Britpart shocks to replace the TF ones, and the ride is transformed it has gone from juddery speedboat to a nice comfy cruise ship. 🆒:D

The choppiness and harshness has vanished and to be fair the handling has improved, I don't drive it like a sportscar anyway I bought a 4x4 not an MX5 so a spongy ride and a bit of body roll doesn't bother me, on the roads I frequent from work it is far easier to maintain the limit "60" without having to slow down when approaching either potholes or undulations in the road.

Before it would hit a pothole or undulation and bounce which was quite disconcerting and it would force me to slow down which was an irritation

Also if it hit a succession of potholes it was truly horrific :mad:

Now even locked in "standard" it is sublime I'm very happy with it..

😂

Thanks.
