The 10th Le Mans Classic 2-3-4-5 July 2020.

I am going. It would be good to meet some other enthusiasts there.

I must admit that since about 1973 “Tangerine Orange” would not have been my first colour choice. But that car looks pretty distinctive maybe even classic. I hope you can live with it for a few years...

PAYG costs are as confusing as the telco’s can make it. I bought a SIM for £1 and topped it up with the minimum £10 credit. I used this in my tracker. It worked! I do not use the car that much so I...

You may be able to check the approximate positions by eye.

With cylinder 1 at TDC as seen by the crankshaft timing mark, the cam followers on number one cylinder should be rocking (free to move...

I’m not familiar with this engine so I’ll ask the dumb question: can the inlet manifold be removed with that stud in place? Once removed the errant stud would be more accessible.

Sometimes heating...

I have 9. I bet that's not the most. I have been known to read them in preferance to a novel.

I'd go halves with you Steve if someone is prepared to lend me the money.

It looks like the black 55mm ones are also available in red. Good ol' Henry!

While out driving this summer something dropped on my foot. I stopped the car and found a fairly substantial spring in the foot well. I didn’t recognise it but everything seemed to work fine so I...

Searching for “ford sierra stalk” on eBay gave a few hits. Only one on the indicator side (XR4i). You can set up a search to email when an item comes up for sale.

Surry everyone.

In the magazine it's listed as Surrey, Hampshire, Essex, Berks, Berks, Bucks.

Well worth knowing! As I understand pretty much anyone with a Marlin would be welcomed.

I really like the way the mudguards have been done on that Marlin lookalike (Alpha Romeo).

Probably, only in my mind. I learnt a stack of acronyms watching the Apollo launches as a young teenager. I learned a whole lot more working for IBM (It’s Better Manually). Almost all have been...

For those, like me, who think ETA means Estimated Time of Arrival (from the Apollo space program) I looked it up and assuming it’s not:
Euskadi Ta Askatasuna, Electronic Travel Authority, Easy To...

I will be at the Isle of Wight Classic Car Extravaganza with Millie this weekend.

My preferred solution is to use a “ford fiesta heater valve”. This valve used on several cars (Fiesta Ka Transit Mazda) it is combined with a temperature control from one of those vehicles to vary...

This has a diagram for Ford Taunus/Cortina (1970-1975) but does not list the parts for some reason.

I have had fuel pipes and other things perish. It’s not always possible to tell how old the stock is when you buy it. Particularly from eBay.

Try “black wheel nut covers” on eBay I have no personal experience with them.

I like the idea of the electric motor drive with a small engine to charge the batteries. The charging engine is contrived to run at maximum efficiency and the motor avoids the weight of the gearbox....

I recently had to take the steering column out of my Sierra based car. The “Cam - direction indicator turn – off” has a lug that locates it in a slot on the steering wheel.

The lug can just be...
