Re: Rear bumper blade

A useful dodge is to put a thin slot in the domed head with a grinder cutting disc, you then can use a screwdriver to hold it.

Re: Plain or coloured bonnet handle?

Pretty sure it should have red around the "M", most of mine has come off due to washing & age.

Re: MMOC - Problems?

My renewal cards did not arrive, but a quick call to Liz at Derby & the replacements arrived a couple of days later, very pleased with the quick & efficient service provided.

Re: Concourse Dissapointment

Just seen this post and looked at the ebay listing, to add to the confusion using the DVLA check it does show it as a 59 vehicle.

Re: Air compressor

There are various types of quick snap connectors for compressors, euro, pcl and others, they look similar but won't fit each other.

Re: Starting handle how to?

If starting from cold, I always wind the handle slowly round twice before giving a fast turn to start it, I find it helps get the fuel into the cylinders for starting. Should also mention that I always lift the bonnet to ensure the correct engagement of the handle.

Re: Black fluid on wheels

Could possibly be hub seals leaking a bit & the rotation of the wheels spinning outwards.
