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...

Someone here (I've forgotten who) has bought it and the camshaft has gone ....

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

- Are we having a bitchiest comment contest ? Thanks TRM for some sensible advice.

I assume the ute is home made ?

Should you/can you bleed your brakes by only using short pedal strokes to avoid this happening?

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?

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

Those seats look too good to sit on

When we say modern paints , I take it we don't mean cellulose ?

- how can it go a greater distance ? You've lost me I did A level Physics when I was a boy and there's some formula about pressure and volume but I can't remember what

Could you have a blocked exhaust ?

I found a site on EBay selling motor brushes for all sorts of power tools .Sometimes it's a case of making do if the need is urgent and nothing else is available Wiper motor brushes don't get much wear

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

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...

I think the Interceptor and FF are fine looking cars , remember they came out in the mid 60's

Sorry , I should have been wearing my new glasses .Ignore my comment

Did you have brakes before you decided to bleed them ? Have you loosened off a nipple ? It does sound like a seal in the master cylinder has gone

Maybe it's valve seat recession due to lack of lead ?

- taking photos for our benefit ?

Re: New P6 joins my fleet! Meet No:27 Don't risk it till you are 100% fit

I'm being fined for slightly obstructing my mother's neighbour's dropped kerb on Monday .I knew I was slightly over the edge but there was ample room for him to get his 13 reg Jaguar in as he did indeed get onto his drive while I was still parked there ... Seems he went indoors and phoned the...

What timing chain you fit depends on the depth of your pockets amongst other things ! I'm tight and when I did mine I used the basic stuff I think that oil seal has been fitted back to front - the "open" side with spring visible should be facing into the engine

The timing could be correct at tickover but not at higher revs if the advance weights etc were siezed or broken

Can you not buy motor brushes on somewhere like EBay and file them down to fit ?
