I`ve often thought that a warning light (or buzzer) would be a good idea as a back up to the pressure gauge. By tthe fitting, do you mean the threaded adaptor into the block or the pipe itself (just so I know what to keep an eye on.)?

Bonjour Monsieur,
Don't know. *shrugs shoulders in stereotypical gallic fashion*

Ha ha I can just picture that *lights up a cafe creme and treads in one of the many dog turds*

..bonjour. Any good recommendations for starter motors? ECP has two totally different pictures of what it claims to be the same thing, so not too confident about it! Plus I hate ECP for sending me so many incorrect things in the past.

..got mine running today with the aid of a friend whacking the starter motor whilst I cranked it. After a couple of mins, I though, gosh, sounds more tappety than I remember. So went to have a look and the oil pressure gauge fitting had decided to rupture catastrophically. Lost all the oil from the ...

ok Thank you,
I check it out asap and take some photos

Did you get it sorted my good man?

I am sick of replacing the disintegrating little o rings on my 40s so will definitely seek out this "petrol" of which you speak

OK, I had to ask: there are no birds under there? (Oh, please yourselves!) Maybe he should try feathering the throttle :sorry: That car will fly when the clearance problem is sorted and the owner will be eggstatic If what you say is true, he'll need to ditch the steering wheel and get a proper yolk.

Are you sure contact between tyre and arch is the problem? Does it knock or does it make a sort of sound like a screechy bark?

Nah Bug, dont start licking them or you will have to do it every time.

You're right as well!

I have one, rust free, with towing eye, but it's attached to my Capri

This made me laugh as ford have really lost the plot thinking this will stop covid. Ah yes, the false sense of security shields are finally here. You have to laugh at these attempts to make some £ out of people's fear. I noticed as their add campaign, Dettol is subtly accusing anyone who doesn't us...

Don't expect Tom's 0-60 time or top speed though if your car is standard. He has neglected to mention a couple of mods to his car

Well, one doesn't like to blow one's own trumpet. Or trumpets, in this case.
