Sold.

It's my car and it's for sale. But since I never wear a cowboy hat, there must be another white one in Stockport then.

- White with bronze flatpleat ambla - Car has been in Ireland for years, now back in the UK on original reg and new V5C in my name, on SORN - Running and driving superb, no issues mechanically, brakes excellent - Usual rust damage to tub, will require extensive and expensive restoration -...

Oh yeah? After findig what I thought is a bit of useful info among this heap of irrelevant drivel, I tried to obtain NPSM fittings, not an easy task in today's UK. Hence I ordered me some from America, at considerable cost, I have you know. Of course they turned out to be the wrong ones! I...

For all future reference: The thread of the inlet/outlet pipes is 1/4" BSP and nowt else. It's 19 TPI as opposed to NPSM, which is 18 TPI.

I received mine as well. The only criticisms: Wrong wheel covers and the medaillon on the bootlid is too small and in the wrong position.

Ex-Junkman V8 now in Resale Red: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161847799873 I have no idea why this car attracts people who festoon it with daft steering wheels and gear knobs: I had to remove similar rubbish after I had bought it. Also, it's not a 3500S. It's an automatic that was...

Does anyone have a good kickdown cable kicking about, please? And maybe a leftover tailshaft housing gasket from the last rebuild kit? Cheers!

Excellent, thanks a lot! I'll have this checked next week. The gearbox was indeed standing for a while and the speedo drive was seized. Maybe the same goes for the guv'nor.

Where is that governor and how can it be made unstuck?

That crimp has been removed a long time ago. No, the valve is deffo closed when the pedal isn't pushed, we verified this with the sump off.

It does that even when the cable isn't connected to the accelerator linkage.

OK, I put another gearbox in, also a BW 65. That one is a bit reluctantly shifting up. 1-2 happens at 35, 2-3 only at 60, even when trying to force it by lifting off. 3-2 downshift happens at 30+, 2-1 downshift apparently normal (hardly noticeable).

Front clutch stuck on is also my impression. Any idea what could have caused this?

From one second to the next, my BW 65 doesn't shift into neutral or reverse. Drive still works, i.e. the car drives froward no matter which gear your select, except P, which actuates the parking pawl, but even then forward is still engaged.

Terribly sorry, Steve, but it has been taken.

So none of you ugly lot in the UK is willing to sell this poor old man a used BW35, despite you are sitting on piles of them? You disgust me. Chris, if you want, you can have my BW65 for free. It comes with the converter and kickdown cable. Unfortunately something is broken and I haven't...

Maybe you could ask for another pony express in the transport section? Courier can't be that expensive either.

Any takers? If not, I'll give it to the scrappy on Saturday.

From a late series 2 (Oct 1975), ca. 89,000 miles. Has been run with too high a pressure for a while, will not shift into gear at all. Gearbox is complete with torque converter, it's out of the car and ready for pick up in Stockport.

Would these be V8 pull handles? If yes, can I please have them?

Required is the actual plate, part number 601910. Yes, they usually don't go wrong, but this one is so rusty, it broke. It wouldn't hurt if the slider sheet going on top of it came with it, but we can make it ourselves if need be.

The car has performed flawlessly ever since I installed the electric fuel pump. You clowns all are full of shit and I am right, as always. Why nobody ever listens to me despite I'm always right, is a phenomenon that will never cease to amaze me.

I'm running points and condenser and the car never gave the slightest ignition problems. My car suffered badly from fuel vapour locks that I tried to cure for four years unsuccessfully. Since the electric pump is installed, the car has not put a foot wrong, so I don't need any advice. The...

How much does restoring originals cost?
