Hi Andrew, In my past life as a welder, I used to have to TIG, Ally cast chain hoist covers, quite frequently. I used a 5% mag rod, even tried 5% Sil rods, actually a whole selection of mixes , but Ally cast is full of air holes and its very dependent how good the quality of the cast is, how good th...

Hi all again, Well its been an interesting job the steering wheel and possibly not for the fain hearted??? I have finally finished this but only time will tell if this will hold or not. The first attempt (photo'd above) was a complete disaster. Each time I added a bit more paint (still not convinced...

Hi again, Thanks for all the kind words ref the small repairs I've been on with... Andy, defo that dam water leak, it was driving me nuts... I had tried everything, I honestly can't think why I didn't just look behind the glovebox and up in the first place!!! Poss all the horror stories of the scree...

Hi Andrew, Danny, Yep, sometimes its these small jobs you can take a real satisfaction from, especially when they're not actually 'important' to the running of the car. Probably why they keep getting put off!!! :xd: :xd: :xd: Thanks for the kind words on this repair... Cheers guys, all the best and ...

Hey Paul,

Great pic and as has been said, a great car to have had at that age!!! I need to find some of my old phots and share them if I can find them... They might still be up in Yorkshire??? Great pic, cheers,

John...

Hi all, Well as we're all locked up in our own homes, I decided to get a few of those fiddly little jobs done, that you just never seem to get to... As you know I just got the dash bulbs all done, So onto new tasks. So as I have just recently had a new windscreen fitted, this seemed to stop the leak...

Hi all, I watched a German single series some time ago, which kept me on the edge of my seat, Deutschland 83 Thoroughly enjoyed that about Spy’s of all things in the Cold War. For comedy if it can still be found, Chelmsford 1 2 3 I remember it being very amusing. But then for the America stuff, Dext...

Hi Jason, Yep a great result and very happy!!! Andrews idea was spot on... We'll definitely have to 'rag' that certain car up the strip later this year!!! :lowrider: :drive: :lowrider: Hi Andrew, Thanks again and yep, it took a long time to get here... :xd: :lol: :xd: Great idea though and like Skod...

Hi all, So with the current crazy crap going on in the World, I thought I'd start getting a few of those niggley little jobs done. When Andrew first posted this thread I thought, yep, got to get these done on mine and then the other night coming home from work, one of the bulbs finally went out for ...

Hey Danny, Best of luck fella, hope you have better luck than I just did... To check your tint, get a sheet of A4 white paper, open the door and put the sheet half behind the screen and the other half outside, the outside is white the inside will show the actual colour of the tint, which can sometim...

Hey Nick, Great news your happy with the brake upgrade. As you know, I got my Highspec kit fitted at Tickover too some years ago and although they still stop on a sixpence, the callipers certainly don’t look that good now.... :xd: :xd: :xd: Now enjoy the extra power in the knowledge you can stop her...

Hi all, I’ve been following this with interest, as I just had to get a screen myself, I had the new seal from East Kent, but the only screen we could find was a Pilkington one, zero tint with the dreaded mirror pad in the middle. It fits a dream (small screen due to sunroof) and the car ain’t mistin...

As the name says, I was devastated the other day while sat in a traffic jam from Hell, then I realsied why there was a traffic jam.... Just going down into High Wycomb... I truly hope the guy gets this back on the road, it looked like new apart from where the Morrisons van jumped out in front of the...

Hi Nick, Some good pics there, I did take a few, not many but if I can piggy back on your thread??? Here you go for a few more.... Here's one of my favorites of the show... https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48457823077_84859e3194_b.jpg 20190803_121510 by jon tay , on Flickr Another cracking MKI ht...

Hi Danny, On top of this, I note you said you topped the ATF up and the sump is weeping. 95% of Auto gearbox faults are down to old, dirty ATF and filter. I will admit I don't know if the Autobox you have will have a filter, but drop the sump and you will soon know, but I would strongly recommend yo...

Go on then, I'll admit it. There is a part of Whitstable sea front that shall forever have an imprint shapped like my arse!!! Leaning forward in my deck chair with leg rest attached to put the sun cream on my legs and the whole chair flipped me out forwards like a _______er!!! :doh: :doh: :doh: Grea...

Hi all, (Andy)

This looks fantastic. I'd be tempted to go on a diet to fit in this to give it a blast!!! Cheers,

John...

Hi there, I had the same issue recently, I did not want a full back to metal re-spray etc, but for a year I would knock out a bit of rust and fill and cover over, a few months down the line and the rust is showing again. I had already decided I was going to have the rust cut out, welded in new metal...

Wow!!! Professional photographer or not, they need a good subject to start with and your Cappa looks amazing!!! I do believe as Andrew says, I have seen your Capri before and I always love your Blue, (and the Capri of course) which the photos really pick up!!! Looks like it should have been in that ...

Hi all, (Jason) I'm a bit sad here, as I've worked out what mine runs best & worst on and I do have to say it definately runs better on Super Plus with the slightly higher octane. So best for me is BP Super Plus, it loves that and really gets down the road well, smooth and quick. Second is Shell...
