Re: Steel timing gear noise

Thanks everyone. I have ordered a kit from Ric Wood. He says the kits he sells are dead quiet whilst the steel gears are noisy so it appears these are good and also not breakable.

Steel timing gear noise

I have a steel timing gear on my car whi h sounds a bit like a supercharger. I know they are supposed to quieten down after a while but the ones I have heard still sound noisy.

Re: Handbrake gaiter question

Hi Mark, The one in my car has got a little pop stud fastener that closes up the opening. That secures it around a ridge on the edge of the handbrake hand grip. Andrew. Hi mate, thanks for that, that makes sense. I will see if mine is there or missing. If its missing which I think it is I will see ...

Handbrake gaiter question

Hi all,

Should there be a clip or something that holds the handbrake gaiter on to the top part of the handbrake?

Kind regards

Re: Good old days.

Absolutely the good old days. Stoneleigh was a brilliant venue. The car park was every bit as good as the show itself. We didn't realise then just how good the scene was. Fast forward 30 odd years to what we have now - depressing. Yes an amazing place Stoneleigh, cars lined up in the barns and the ...

Re: Bangers and cash Vs Car SOS

The second paragraph should read Tonights Bangers and Cash that should make more sense to you :) Right, thanks Andy. That does make more sense. It's interesting to read everybody's thoughts on the subjects on Car SOS. We shouldn't forget that it's a TV entertainment show and not a documentary, I th...
