    Series 1 2000 TC gearshift plate question

    Im replacing the acorn and spherical seat on my series 1 2000 TC. Before unbolting everything I have noticed that if I move gearlever to 1st, 2nd gear side, the right side of the gearshift plate lifts. Looking at the workshop manual, the left top plate secures to the tie bracket. And the right...

    Front brake dust boot replacement

    A couple of years ago my mechanic replaced my front brake pads with”better” ones . They were squealing right from the start which he said would go away as they wore down. Over time they did improve a bit. When I asked him about it again, he said I could try putting the antirattle shims back in...

    no headlights..

    While doing a check of lights, brake lights, hazard lights on my federal TC, I noticed I lost the main beam headlights when activating the floor mounted dimmer switch and the high beams did not turn on. Pushing the dimmer again, the main beams came back on. After this, I now have no headlights...

    replace rostyle with steel wheel issues?

    I've been running my federal TC car with the rostyles it came with since I got it running. I have known they are out of true and cant be made true. The wheels are balanced as best as I can get them but I still have a shimmy at speeds over 40 mph. Will steel wheels fit the bolt pattern of the...

My replacement bonnet seems to catch on the spring humps (probably not the proper term but everyone should know what I mean , I think) on the inner wings causing the back edge of the bonnet near the windscreen to rise when the bonnet is...

    Where to find rear spring shims

    Like others have posted previously, my car also sits higher in the rear on one side. Rear spring shims are mentioned several times but no mention is made of where to get them. I have looked at the usual suppliers websites and can't find these being offered for sale. If no one sells them does...
