Yep. But mistakes are learnt from.
Only the bonnet is damaged, and a few scratches on the wings but hey ho.

Well this is great, my own Moggy broke down (headgasket/ignition etc problems) on Friday on the way to Thetford for the weekend so I'm missing her and today on the way from Bedford doing 65, the bonnet on the project moggy blew open. Admittedly I didn't close it properly... Fortunately yards away fr...

Damn. Ya got me. How do I detect lack of compression without taking the plugs out, I haven't got any tools. We're going to get the breakdown with my insurance to take us home. Would they arrange recovery for tomorrow afternoon if I call now.?

Rac said most likely blown head gasket. Runs ok when you lift the throttle off but under load is.horrible. ill use my recovery with FJ to take us home tomorrow.. :'(

Evening. Thought I'd go away to thetford for the weekend with my girlfriend in my moggy. I'm currently stuck at bp north of thetford with a wierd misfire and tapping noise. The rac are on their way but I wanna know what's wrong! She was driving ok before we stopped and drive ok with the foot off but...

Mine was brand new! £15 for 4l at a classic bike show. Was rather chuffed and my car has never run smoother or quieter!

SO would the part number have an R in it if this was the case? Do any MM shops have any?

Slightly confused...can I not just buy new spark plug caps? (Champion ones)

This is strange. Mine always used to work until a few months ago on one drive, the light stayed on. It still does now so I've taken the bulb out (I drive in the dark alot!). The indicators work fine so it doesn't bother me. Be interesting to know what you've found..

Hi there. Currently my car has the original screw in, side entry distributor cap with the leads that have the metal ends on the spark plugs (open ended) and a radio fitted. At the moment the radio crackles only when the engine is on. I tried the plastic ended top entry cap and plastic ended spark le...

It was Dad and it was a strip down and rebuild. My car afterwards was fine, this 'project' one isnt so easy!

Good sunny afternoon! We have been having some troubles after rebuilding our 1098. Dad has checked all he thinks but it still wont start. On turning the handle, it feels really stiff and grippy. On turning of the key, it barely turns over despite battery being OK. It seems a problem that we cannot f...

Hellloo. I am desperately looking for a roof rack of some sort, I have found a few at big prices and some that are snapped up quick! Just a query, would these modern style ones fit (see below)? The trouble is the saloons have a domed roof so is harder to measure. Please advise of any that would fit,...

xpress, does it occur around 40-45 mph to 50mph as mine makes that weird noise under full acceleration at that speed then is fine. In 4th that is..

Where abouts are these valves. Do I have to remove the nuts that face into the engine bay on the base of the dampers?

My own thread as well. DoH!!!

Suppose it wont hurt to try the oil thing. What is the easiest way of draining it? I can't find it

Hi. I'm sure as some of you will notice, I do like trying out certain mods on my car however want most to be removable to get the car back to originality without much doing. As I use my car on twisty country roads daily, I would like to try out an anti roll bar as these look easier to fit that tele ...

Oh.....bugger.
So its not as easy as fit it and get it tuned (I do know someone with a rolling road).?

HI, as the title says... A colleague of mine has offered me a Weber carb that fits straight onto the A-Series. He said I could have it, fit it and give him a sensible offer if it works ok.
Could anyone tell me how much I should offer him?
Many thanks,
Stephen
