Re: 1981 2.0 gl auto box oil pressure
Hello all, and thanks for the welcome. I am asking because the steel pipes to the rad have had it, ie rotten, and was wondering if reinforced rubber hydraulic hoses would do the job, with crimped end fittings. Thanks again for the replies. Yes, will definitely work I had to change my rad as the ori...

Re: expensive 280 on Ebay
5% commission for the auction house - they've done very well out of that And there is a buyers premium too. From their website; Our standard buyer's premium charge is 12.5% + VAT of the hammer price for motor vehicles (cars and motorcycles). So the new owner paid over £60k! Jesus wept And we though...

Re: Misfiring when flooring it from idle - 2l Laser
I Must admit I've never checked the valve clearances on this car as I never knew how, looks straight forward enough to adjust though. I've rebuilt a carb before so pretty confident changing all that stuff. If you`re goingto rebuild the carb, so I`m guessing removing it - adjust the valves before yo...

Re: Misfiring when flooring it from idle - 2l Laser
I had similar symptoms last year. Valve clearances made a massive difference, definitely check and set them if you haven't already. Cleaning up the carb was the next thing, the accelerator pump in the carb made a massive difference as well. We replaced quite a few parts on the carb in the field at C...

Re: insurance
Probably because it works out cheaper to pay £3k than get fisted by the insurance company by claiming! Lose all or at least half your no claims, increased cost of insurance because of that as well as needing to declare it as a claim for the next 5 years - would likely pay more than £3k in increased ...

Re: Copper grease - Yay or nay
Of course they are rusty ..... they are cast iron.........and on the edges :shock: . I wouldnt replace them for that ( if its rust they dont like give em a wizz with a wire brush :D ) . Hell , one of my Ducatis had cast discs and they rusted so quickly that after washing the bike I had to blow dry ...
Re: insurance
Although the cost of EV repairs undoubtedly affects premiums, your `standard` cars now have such ridiculous and unnecessary tech: cameras instead of mirrors, radar, sensors, everything having its own microprocessor - and now they proudly announce a car with no rear window! Why have a window when yo...
Re: insurance
Thank you Sir :wave: When I take out an insurance policy I give my personal details (as we all do) I don't have to give details of everyone else in the country, therefore if I don't claim I shouldn't be affected by anyone elses claim. But we all know it has never worked like that, but sure you see ...
Re: insurance
I'm sure under this age or over that age is a factor to the cost, so unless you hit the age sweetspot :spank: The old, putting other drivers on your policy that will never drive the car to bring down costs can't be right either. It seems honesty will cost you more :doh: What happened to the days wh...

Re: insurance
That`s disgusting for 2 reasons, not only `cos they robbed you, but also because you have to declare when seeking insurance if you`ve `ever been declined or had cancelled`, so that could affect your rating with other insurers. I was thinking the same when I read Danny's comment. Do you think that L...
