    Where's Dave Herns?

    Alive and well but decided to give this forum a break. I seemed to have annoyed enough people on various topics such as smoking , parking and my dog pooing on the pavement that I felt this was no longer a friendly place to be. May well be my own fault so those that want to criticize me need not...

    Thinking of getting a Rover 75......

    The Rover 600 range seems to be both forgotten and under-rated . The one my friend had was mid-range but a really nice car .Probably not many left now

    My 3500s project - future daily drive

    Exactly the same reason I gave for upgrading from an 18ACR elsewehere on this site Any reason for using a 4cyl Land Rover alternator ? I wonder if the engine runs better because the voltage is higher at tickover?

    Project ARJ...Part 2

    It's best to have relays on the headlamps anyhow as the fuse box seems to be a weak link and can melt/burn whatever headlamps you use Halogens are a massive improvement over sealed beams

    Glowing Ignition Light

    Is it silly comment season ? If your alternator doesn't charge at tickover , it means that when you stop at junctions ,traffic lights etc, the battery is discharging . Not good if you've got your lights , HRW etc in use. If I was using mine daily I'd upgrade to a modern high output alternator

    Obstructing dropped kerbs

    Thanks chaps I suspect some people don't know what parking in London areas is like . When I was working I was covering areas near Heathrow where you'd be lucky to find a space to park . I never deliberately blocked anyone's drive . I always made sure they have room to get in / out as was the...
