The gearbox on my 1974 3500 is a bit notchy, and recently spat out a synchro tooth when I changed the oil. As the car is my daily driver I don't want it off the road for too long so have acquired another box which I intend to have rebuilt in readiness for the current box's eventual demise. Is...

I have to change a rear wheel bearing on my series 2 3500S. Have bought the bearing but cannot get the collapsible spacer. I'm told that it is not necessary, and that I can re-use the old one provided I torque it up correctly. Can anyone tell me what the torque setting should be?

I currently have the front wings off my car and noticed a clear plastic bung just forward of the door that gives access to the void between the inner and outer bulkheads. Before I spray inside with cavity wax, can anyone tell me whether the void is open to the inside of the car.

I have finally decided to take the plunge and have a go at welding. Looking through past posts Clarke machines seem to be well regarded, and as I have a Machine Mart nearby that seems the way to go. Where I should like some advice is which model. It will be solely for use on the cars, and if I...

I need to replace the front valance on my 3500. I would prefer a good used one, not only because of the cost but also because I understand that most repro panels need a fair bit of fettling to get them to fit. So far, however, I have found only one used which, while rot free, is described as a...

The BBC are filming in Broadstairs next Thursday (13th) and want cars that would have been around in 1986 for background, so mainly seventies and early eighties. I understand that a small fee is payable but I don't know how small. I know there are one or two on here from East Kent, so if anyone...

I need to replace the front pipes on my 1974 3500S. The parts catalogue shows two versions of the longer pipe - GEX1596 to suffix C and GEX1597 from suffix D onwards. Assuming this refers to the chassis number, mine is suffix C. Winns and Wadhams websites both show only one version of each...

The gearstick on my 3500S has started rattling at low engine speeds or high road speeds. It is most apparent when pulling at around 1500rpm, or driving above 50mph. There is otherwise no discernible vibration. My initial thoughts are that a prop shaft bearing is on the way out (can't check at...

The VIN plate on my 1974 3500S is in German. The registration document shows the dates of first registration and first registration in the UK as being the same, and there is nothing the suggest that the car was ever left hand drive. Anyone have any idea why?

Can anyone tell me whether overriders differed between models or years? I have seen some advertised, but the ad says only that they are for a P6.
