Re: speedo needle bounce
Yes, I will check out any speedo tutorials. There is no clicking so perhaps it may just be a worn cable.

speedo needle bounce
Okay, hope to fit a new cable soon but today a new issue. The usual bounce in the speedo needle got worse as the needle got to vertical - it suddenly dropped clockwise to hang limply facing south. Then it picked up again and continued the bouncy nature. Any ideas apart from the obvious replacement c...

Re: Speedo reading approx 20mph too fast
Thanks to everyone, just for info, the odometer is working alright, and the needle rests at about 10mph when engine switched off. The speedo has the following reference SN4423/04 then a space and 1408 printed on it. I will investigate and try some of the suggestions, hope to post back soon, wife's i...

Speedo reading approx 20mph too fast
Hi everyone, just got a four door saloon, and noticed speedo really fluctuates and looks 15v- 20mph too fast. Any ideas. The car is original 1098cc with, I thought, no modifications.

Re: Traveller wood- urgent help needed before purchase
No it is not on eBay. Seller found buyer who restores traveller wood, so it has gone. It will no doubt be advertised in the near future. Registration ORH895F. So the car was local to Beverley. And thanks for the comment about not acting in haste. I am much more informed now and will still be looking...

No extras save a battery and temp gauge. Engine original. Unleaded conversion - again not seen paperwork ye...

Re: Traveller wood- urgent help needed before purchase
Just been round and checked the inner wings. They seen sound, poked around with a screw driver , seems solid all round. However under seal may yet be hiding something. Also double checked wood, near side below side windows, no sign that there had ever been drain holes. Shame about that as could be a...

Re: Traveller wood- urgent help needed before purchase
Thanks for sending post. I will pop back and check the inner wings to see what the are like. Appreciate the point about the lack of drain holes on the near side window rail, so I checked the rear floor under seat and rear footwell. Surprised to find it dry. Noticed a bump rubber missing from rear ax...

Traveller wood- urgent help needed before purchase
Hello everyone, I have a chance to buy a Traveller, 1969, seems sound underneath, and am very interested. Though off side front wing going rusty at top and bottom. Original, with no mods. However, inspection of wood caused some concern. Inside rear left top corner wood appears rotten, only small are...
