Hot brakes!

Checked my front brakes last weekend, as they were starting to pull to the right. I was expecting to just do a quick adjustment, and carry on as normal. I decided to take the drums off, to clean out the dust, and check the cylinders were ok. That's when I had a bit of a shock on the passenger side. ...

Did the gearbox on mine not long back. Slid straight on first time, but wouldn't quite mate up. Took me ages to spot that the locating peg dooberry was still in my engine block, and that the 'new' gearbox also had one . . . Took the 'box off again, took out the peg, and then spent the next hour gett...

BDK for a stage 1 1275, BDL if it's a bit wilder.

There is a website out there somewhere that lists them all, and what they're used in/for, but I'm buggered if I can find it now. :(

I have an '68 Almond Green 2 door, and the paint has faded quite badly on it. You can see the difference if you lift up the screen rubber and compare the paint.

I'm pretty sure yours will be an AG car, with faded paint.

Mine doesn't even polish up anymore. :(

Update. I cleaned everything up, and made sure every connection I could get to (including those behind the dashboard) was cleaned too. All fuses were checked (they were all ok). The horn and interior light still refused to play. A few days later they started working. :-? Of course, I've not tried to...

Hmmm.

Since it's been raining, stuff has been working. Luckily for the other road users of Nottingham, as I can now see where I'm going.

I'm pretty sure it's a loose connector somewhere, seeing as stuff now works again. Well, all except the horn and interior light - they still refuse to play ball.

On checking it when I got home, the bulb was okay, but the indicators had stopped working. I immediately checked the fuse, but this was ok. I t...
