Great, thank you.

That was me who last had her (Dolly) MOT'd. Still can't trace her

Long shot, but does anyone have any history or know anything about 15 BKK. She was originally posted on this board by someone trying to find out how much to sell her for. I've tried many times to get in touch via private message, but no response. She's a 1957 turquoise four door undergoing a full re...

Hi Bluebird

I'm not sure if it was yourself that got in touch with me as I owned this car for a while. Still searching for 'Dolly' myself.

If not, you can get me on the Rust & Roses Workshop page on FB or message me on here.

I've managed to remove the trafficators from my 1957. One of them looks really quiet corroded and although I can hear the solenoid trying to work, the arm doesn't flip up. Instead of just oiling it I'd like to take it all apart and clean it up, but there are lots of quiet intricate pieces. Can these...

Hi all My 57 saloon requires pretty much every panel underneath and all inner wings. I'm not a fabricator or welder, but I need some advise please. The panels seem to all interlink and I have no idea where to start first and I know a lot of you on here really know your stuff. Can anyone give me an o...

Thanks Taupe. It’s original underneath, just a patch on one of the chassis legs

Thank you so much

I've just done the first fit on my duplex timing chain on my 948, but please could someone advise? The crank has shims on already, but I need to make up a gap of 40 thou. I generally use ESM for my parts, but can only find gearbox shims on their site. Can anyone advise where I can get the shims from...

Thank you. Always so helpful.

Please could anyone tell me if this requires replacement? There is a clear lip on the inside circle.
The face shown is the bearing face and it’s from a 948.
Many thanks

Thank you both for such a helpful reply.

I’ve managed to partly remove a roof lining from a 68 saloon, but struggling to release from the front of the car. Can anyone advise please? Pictures below. I’ve removed the flat clips from the holes shown below and can see a tensioner wire, but cannot figure out what’s holding it. https://photos.ap...

Thanks Phil for such a quick response.

I did buy the good quality one, which stated no modifications required. It's just that many people were saying the same thing and it kind of got me worried.

Morning all

I’ve been watching a few engine rebuilds (as I’m in the middle of one) and my question is regarding the oil pump. I notice a lot of people mention de burring them.

I purchased mine from ESM and wonder if I really do need to do this?

Help and advice very much appreciated please.

Thank you

Hi all After dismantling my smiths heater from my 1957 and going to put it back together, I’ve realised that I marked up the positive wire to the switch, but the switch itself doesn’t appear to have any indication of positive and negative. Can anyone advise please? https://photos.app.goo.gl/7V3DrY8j...

The switch is he'd in place but s small grub screw on mine but from memory there is also a version with a push sud like the knobs on the dashboard. If it breaks, as the Bakelite can be brittle, there are replacements available usually found on a Landrover site. I hope this assists - Graphoref was a...

It’s from a 1957. The switch is variable speed, just one single round switch on the front of it
