I don't seem to have a 4 digit ref no. on my tickets, just a 10 digit order no. unless its the last 4 digits at the end of the QR code.

Dogoncrazy and myself have bought tickets and will be going on the Sunday. Can we also get onto the Marlin display area?

I was given the article by Terry Matthews so she probably sent it to other relevant publications as well. Just waiting to get the official details of the owners of the Sportster/Cabrio and Exi....

Happy to be corrected on this but I believe the ideal caster angle for good self centring is about 6 deg whereas the Marina set up is 2 to 3 deg. This may have been ok on the Marina (never driven one...

The low level of steering self centring on the Marina based Roadster is a common problem and the castor angle is, in theory, non adjustable. Some members have slightly increased the castor angle by...

Me too!

Should be Nightfire Red! Pesky predictive text.

Posted on behalf of Jeff Ganderton:- Cabrio with Rover V8 engine and 5 speed box in Nightmare Red. On SORN for the last 18 months but engine started regularly. Car based in Rochdale. £4500 by bank...

There won't be anything in the next Pitstop magazine due out next month but I'm hoping to be able to put some events in the next one. If anyone comes across anything in the meantime please let me...

Its been many years since I aligned a clutch but I have a multi purpose tool that accommodates a range of spigot bearing and shaft sizes from about 5/8 to 7/8". Just a thought.

I agree with Paul in that the failure is probably caused by stress concentration as a result of the difference in thickness of the mounting plate and chassis. I suspect the thinner chassis section is...

Thanks Scott,

After a lot of gentle persuasion that worked. When I got the belts both reels had exactly the same length of belt protruding so I assumed it was some kind of factory lock that needed...

Just acquired an unused pair of Kangol inertia reel seat belts to replace those on my Cabrio but no instructions were with them. No problem with the fitting but the inertia reel unit seems to be...

Photo below of 'variable size' socket mentioned above. It works up to 19mm (3/4") A/F apparently.

Somewhere in my garage I have a socket which is designed to fit a range of bolt head sizes. It works by having a matrix of spring loaded pins. When you push it over a nut or bolt head it pushes some...

Great, that's a tiny bit more space cleared in my garage.

Matthew, I see no reason why you shouldn't mount the deflectors on the rear edge of the screen frame but you would need to be able to fold them in flat in order to fit the side screens. I know what...

He is a member having joined recently. He will have received the latest Pitstop when joining.

If you can tell us the model, original UK registration and chassis number of the car we may be able to tell the origin and history. Not sure if we have any Belgian or Dutch members but I can check.

On behalf of the committee I would also like to wish all our friends and members the best possible Christmas they can have in these difficult times. Really looking forward to when we can meet up...

Cracking around the pedal box on Roadsters was a recognised problem and was solved by the fitting of a re-enforcing bracket. If you were to make a replacement bulkhead I would be inclined to use...

Found the frame, pics below:

Somewhere in my garage I have a hood frame for a SWB Marina based Roadster which will probably do. It's been modified so that it is in 4 pieces instead of the usual 2 for ease of storage behind the...

Just to confirm DC's statement: Although the MOC is administered in the UK it has no national boundaries at all with members worldwide. Only goes to demonstrate how popular the Marlin range is.

Some models of the Sierra did have a rear anti roll bar fitted but the attachment to the trailing suspension arm was not the same as on the Cabrio. Mystery indeed!
