It has been thrown out now I think.

Just thinking about the 2x14" vs 1x16" fan issue!! Theoretically the two 14" fans give a greater area but there is a lot more to it. I suspect the smaller fans are less efficient at pulling air so a direct area comparison may be misleading. Also the water in a radiator tends to flow across from...

If it was a Stag or Ford it would be £40k. Very cheap for an interesting car.

I have used these kits from eBay available in many sizes to great effect. easy to use with the correct size drill etc. The drilling is easy as all the drill does is remove the old threads so it self centres. Then just tap the hole with the supplied tap and fit the insert with the tool. Word of...

It certainly sounds like the oil pump needs priming but I am surprised it needs it after such a short time. It usually take a lot longer for it to drain out in my experience, but all cars are different! Could be a sheared drive to the pump too I guess on the end of the distributor, but that...

I did this job by grinding a slot in the old spacer and cracking it with a chisel. The new one will just slip on if you put the assembly in the freezer overnight and heat the sleeve to 50 degrees C in the oven before assembly. No special tools are really necessary!

He's a nutter isn't he? Look at the revs at around 12 mins, 45 seconds into the video. The needle doesn't leave the red band!! Excellent!!!

That is not an age related number plate though is it? It's just an old number.

Does this help? I had the same dilemma recently and the various Rover manuals I have are not very clear. The Rover service manual doesn't really show it, the TVR book (it was a TVR 350i I was fixing) gets it wrong, and the Haynes manual shows both depending on which diagram you look at!!!

Sorry, but I totally don't understand what you mean????

The centre scoop just allows cold air into the airbox. There is a flap on the airbox intake which can move up and down to change the air temperature of the air entering the airbox. Air comes in cold from the outside via the scoop and hot from around the exhaust manifold in variable amounts...

And a stupid one!:eek: Like I said, it is not the motorbike that is dangerous, but the person on it! Having never ridden before, jumping straight on what was considered the high end performance bike of the day would be like jumping into a Ferrari on your 17th birthday!! Riding large capacity...

I have wridden motorcycles since I was 16 without a break, so 41 years, and I haven't crashed. Motorcycles are not dangerous. People are dangerous. I have had a lot of friends crash motorbikes, luckily with no more than a few broken bones, but they were all doing something risky at the time such...

I thought about replacing my fusebox but as I am not a gymnast and cannot fold into three, I decided not to:LOL::LOL::LOL:. I have put remote blade fuses where the headlight fuses used to be though as mine did melt!!

I like the look of these. If the understanding of this issue is right and it really is overheating due to metric fuses being too short (Still not convinced about that!) then this will solve the problem. The only real issue I see is that the fuse box lid won't fit!!
