Hello
The tread is getting low on all the tyres on my 1968 Traveller, so as I’m on a shoestring budget considering: Nangkang - 155/80/R14 . Any comments on others actual experience of these tyres would be very welcome .
Kind regards.

Hello, Yes I’ve moved the headlight dip switch (I found it rather difficult to squeeze my size 12s into the space to operate in the original floor mounted location) - so I removed the switch from the mounting and simply fixed it under the dash on the right….

Hello,
From others experience is it worth buying Polyurethane spring pads instead of the standard rubber type ?
Kind regards.

Hello, As I use my Traveller to commute regularly to work - only to discover that the large shared carpark at work is changing from a fob operated barrier to ANPR camera operated barrier (my registration number is on there system) but the camera cannot read the silver letters on black background) - ...

Hello,
Should there be a fixing and tube here to guide the starter handle from inside the bumper to the dog (below the plate protecting the bottom of radiator)
If so, does anyone have a photo, so I could fabricate one or seek one out….
Kind regards.

Hello All, I’ve spent the last few days removing all the old disintegrated under carpet hairy brown insulation/sound deadening material (replaced with some free offcuts of new domestic carpet underlay). While scraping off various old glued down remnants in the drivers side footwell I came across a s...

Hello All, Finally got around to replacing the crumbling rubber blanking grommet in the bell housing - didn’t expect to find a small metal plate fitted inside the rubber recess. Not surprised to see the new one not as well moulded.... 5A9C452E-E51C-43D3-8262-8F0A473D1EC4.jpeg D4E135C0-D661-4C5C-8FF5...

Hello, Perhaps others can confirm my understanding of the requirements in this situation… Today I’ve been at a local charity classic car show, from conversations with the two car owners either side of me and from checking online later, both (1970s) cars had failed an MOT over 3 years ago (both for p...

Hello,
Steering Rack Gaiters have only lasted just over a year (~3500 miles) So I’ve decided to try the Nitrol Rubber type from ESM - have other people found these much better ?
Kind regards.

ISTR reading that only 7% of classic car owners get them MOTted.

Hello,
Can anyone inform me what ISTR is and where I can find out more on statistic ?
Kind regards

I was out in Stockport town centre this morning and spotted this on waste land behind a building that has recently been demolished. Any ideas what make and model it is ? See the fuel tank appears to be mounted up on the baulkhead.
Kind regards.

Hello, Last week my everyday Traveller passed the MOT (twentieth year of passes & no advisories), then at the weekend I went to a local steam fair and was parked up for the day surrounded by a good display of cars from the 1950s onwards. I was curious as to how many others still put their car th...

Hello,
Can someone kindly tell me what diameter and thread the four mounting internal threads are for the front dampers ?
Also am I correct to assume that there is simply a single captive plate welded behind with actually six threaded holes in ? (4 for the damper, plus unused 2)
Kind regards.

Hello,
Has anyone any experience of this company and the exhausts ? (£54.78 inc. postage)
Kind regards.

Hello All, I’ve had a steady oil dribble from the front / rear tappet chest covers for a while now - I assume with a little manoeuvring it should be possible to change both gaskets without removing exhaust manifold & carb ? From the photos attached could you confirm I’ve got the correct gaskets ...
