Re: Radiator/expansion tank cap

And from one engine photo I can confirm that there is 78GB-8100-AA version of cap. So that version with "don't use after 05/1979" sticker! I suppose that cap is there from factory. Well spotted, Tom. Thanks for finding confirmation. I didn't think there would be an issue with using that c...

Presumably one of them is going on the bootlid, but what about the other one?

Re: Weston super Mare Pageant of Transport, March 30/31st 2024

Imagine what those people are like when they watch a comedy show. I don't understand the concept of removing offensive shows from streaming services. Little Britain is so well known, somebody searching for it would know exactly what content it may contain (or did contain!). Why would somebody watch...

I've been watching some of the Little Britain repeats, that certainly wouldn't get on T/V now :lol: Surprised the repeats are on :? They were out of favour for a while. From Google: "In June 2020, the show was removed from various UK streaming services due to its use of blackface. In March 202...

The trailer for me was a hit,
I wouldn't want to miss a bit,
This show looks really cool,
To watch it is my goal,
It makes Car SOS look like :turd: .

Re: New Car Programme on TV Soon

Tim is.... who knows? I remember him from the Balls of Steel TV series. I would imagine Tim's part on Car SOS has been added to make the programme appeal to the masses. I agree though, I wouldn't have thought that anybody actually believes the blagging of parts and services to be genuine. Why even ...

Re: Whining

If the noise changes when you come on and off the accelerator, I would be inclined to think the source could be diff related, perhaps the first thing to do would be to check the oil level.
It could also be worn gears or a bearing in the diff.
:goodluck:

Dr Brooklands

Hi,
Does anybody know the Dr Brooklands website address?
An Internet search returns no relevant results, I assume Dr B has taken the site down but I would like to be certain.
A shame if the site has disappeared as it was very useful for research purposes.

Thanks in advance,
Andrew.

It's quite an eye-opener to see what is lurking under the surface!
Still, it all looks good now. Presumably you are just having the repaired bits painted, not the whole car?

It can often be troublesome asking for payments for an online service when so much online is free, especially if it's a forced donation. Nothing comes for free. Don't most free to use websites gain revenue by selling advertising? I believe that a minimum subscription fee of at least £5 per annum fo...
