Head Gasket - why should it keep blowing?

When I bought my 1967 traveller last year, the engine was replaced with a recon - which has taken me a good 12,000 miles so far without too much trouble... EXCEPT... the head gasket has just gone for the third time! I have taken it to a local garage on the first two occasions and they skimmed the he...

Old English White wheels - painting of...

Whilst my wheels are not too bad, there's a slight hint of rust round the rims on a couple of them... I know the best option is to have them done professionally, but if I simply wanted to freshen them up (ie: a rub down and paint, etc) what is the best paint to use (bearing in mind I would prefer to...

Steering wheel size

Hi, is someone able to give me a measurement for the diameter of a typical two-spoke steering wheel (1967 traveller).

(Don't have one to measure at the moment!)

Thanx

Security - antitheft devices

I'd be grateful for some advice as to the best antitheft device I should buy for my Traveller? I'm not thinking of alarms or immobilisers (at this stage), rather a typical 'crook lock'. I understand the old wheel/clutch locks are easy to remove, as are the handbrake ones... so I've been looking at t...
