So it seems a ...

Are you going to be competing in racing or rallying or time trials do you drive at 100mph? no, obviously up to the individual but if you have £300 burning a hole in your pocket and have nothing better to spend it on go ahead but i would just make sure my spare is up...

Re: Noisy clutch

The clutch operates perfectly other than being noisy 2, why do most people on here recommend r...

Our minor's final drive seems to have a lot of whip or slack movement, not sure how to measure it but it seems like at least an inch of free movement each way, while the car drives reasonably well you can hear and feel the slack when changing gear. Can the diff be overhauled or will it be scrap? Wha...
