:oops: I’ll get me coat…..

Why do people put such a nasty looking CD player in a car such as this? At least try to getting something period looking plus with the V8 why would you need a radio?!

I'm going out on a limb and say some sort of Mazda, wheel trims certainly have a Japanese look to them.

The back tyre looks to be huge! Reminds me of the time I put 205 section tyres on standard mk4 Cortina rims…..didn’t end well!

Watched episode one last night and spotted this, looks like a very late car, anyone got any info?

I had similar issues trying to sort mine out in 2016, in the end it was a combination of things, what we finished up doing was:- changed oil changed electric fuel pump changed coil added electronic ignition new plugs and leads set timing and truth be told, it’s not been touched (much) since...

Be interesting to see what would happen if all the doors opened at the same time.....

No, this was the seventies, before such nonsense. I wonder if I could put a claim in retrospectively......!

My dad had a couple of Heralds, a 1200 and a 1360. A couple of weeks before we were due to go to Dawlish for annual holiday, about 1975, the rear subframe or something went. At the top of our road was a small factory that built metal tanks, still there as it happens, and they offered to...

I’d get that handbrake looked at sharpish before anyone notices it! Nice car, looks very well, my late father in law always had white P6’s, he even had his blue SD1 resprayed white!

Looks like they used an Etch-a-sketch rather than a camera!

It looks like a product of both Heath AND Robinson!!

....coach outta here!

Charlotte slumbering amongst everyday detritus. I’d decided at the beginning of the year not to do many car shows so be careful what you wish for! And a belated happy birthday, mrtask.

The seat reminds me of one in a Mk 3 Cortina GT, is that where its from?

My daughter finally sent me a photo of some coasters she was given by her ex boyfriends uncle, no other info on where they came from, anyone have any ideas? Mick

I’ll bear that in mind should the level drop again, thanks. Mick

Thanks for the reassurance guys, I’ll just keep checking it before I take it out. Had something similar a long time back with a Cortina Mk 4 2.0GL, went to a Rover garage (!) in Blackburn, got back to car to find it sitting in a pool of coolant, topped it up and it never lost any again, very...

Last weekend I got the car out the garage, topped up the PAS reservoir, turned the wheel from side to side and even ventured round the block, no loss of fluid!?!? How is that possible?? Mick

Thanks, guys, just wondering if there was something obvious to check, hadn’t started car in a few weeks. Am I right in thinking it just uses ATF, any one in particular?

I need to find the source of a PAS fluid leak, moved the car just before Christmas and discovered a puddle round nearside front wheel, any quick suggestions as to what to look for? Ta, Mick

I prefer to open the window a little and listen to the V8 burble......;) Mick

This was mine, was very pleased with it.

Perhaps a bark of Rovers?!;)

Thanks, Harvey & Tom, I’ll have a look at your suggestions tomorrow, weather permitting. Oil pressure light works ok, the choke warning light was removed a couple of years ago during the “sorting it out” period. Mick
