    Tobacco leaf paint

    It does suit it, especially with the chrome. Thanks so cal v8 for putting the pics on and convincing me.

    Tobacco leaf paint

    Cool. I was going to change to a blue or green, but when you see it cut and polished it looks great.

    Tobacco leaf paint

    The front wing is the colour of the paint I got. It does look good, just not right.

    Tobacco leaf paint

    The new colour looks nice, but I know I'll be at a show and I'll be asked what colour it is and an argument will ensue. Lol

    Tobacco leaf paint

    I thought it might be that, but I wet sanded a bit and it's still the same. When I Google it, I see some cars my colour. And some the new colour. I'm wondering if it changed for the series 2? I'll take it to a paint shop and get a match.

    Tobacco leaf paint

    Hi all. I'm painting my series 1 and have found a paint code 26637. Painted the rear decker panel and it looks nice apart from when I put another panel next to it, the colour is a lot different. I've painted a bit of the rear pillar cover and hopefully I can put a photo on. Does anyone else have...

    Series 1 Manual at Prescott.

    It looked very nice. I like the white roof. Looks very factory. The pop next to yours was nice also. May go back next year, but it was a fair drive.

    Series 1 Manual at Prescott.

    Spotted a nice looking Red 3500 with 4 speed manual fitted. Reg WPM 65 J. Good to see one at the Retro Rides Gathering.

    Bolt sizes.

    Hi all. Just a quick one. Does anyone know the size of bolts that hold the hubs into the Carriers? I'd imagine they'll be 5/16" by 3/4" but would like to check. Cheers all.

    Rear Axle Installment

    Hi all. I'm wondering if the boot covering the UJ at the wheel end is necessary? I've fitted new joints, and with these fitted, I won't be able to grease them. Cheers

    Engine swap

    Hi guys. I've got a 3.9 from a range rover to replace the 3.5. Has anyone else done this? The only problem I see is the water pump is too long with the viscous damper on, but i've heard my pump will fit. Does anyone have any tips? Many thanks

    Seat colouring.

    Hi all. Has anyone recoloured their seats with the woolies gear? I've got a set of good seats, but the colour is nearly out of them and back to bare. I'm wondering if the treatment would take to them. Many thanks.

    Conking out after 30 secs

    I think the condenser was to blame. I changed it and it started fine. But just to throw me off the scent, the battery packed in to give the same problem. I thought I was going round the twist. New battery, condenser and it's perfect again. thanks for all the suggestions.

    Twin Exhausts

    Hi all. I'm getting ready to start a resto of my series 1 v8 and I'm wondering if anyone has converted the exhaust to a twin pipe set up? ie exiting from both sides. I was thinking about having them exit just in front of the back wheels so I don't have to route it round the battery box and fuel...

    Conking out after 30 secs

    The tank is ok. Doesn't make any difference where the valve is. But the filter may be to blame. I've also noticed the valve in the float chamber was stuck shut but I'd think that the fuel pressure would open it when req'd. I've got a couple of rebuild kits for the carbs so i'll do it all while...

    Conking out after 30 secs

    Hi all. I'm stumped. My usually reliable car is letting me down. I thought it had bad fuel in, so drained and put in good fuel. Cranked the new fuel through and it started but then cut out again. Tried next day and she flashed up straight away but died after 30 secs. Tried to wind it over but...

    Does anyone have.......

    Hi guys. Does anyone happen to have a spare pair of front door cards in buckskin? I managed to rescue an interior from a car that was getting scrapped but the door cards have the quarter light opener in them. I'd need the earlier ones. I'm in Fife so P+P would be needed, which obviously I'd take...

    Hi all. Has anyone stripped the diff? I'm wondering how to get the half shafts out from bearings to change the seals. Cheers all.

    Drive shaft repairs.

    Hi all. Does anyone have a part number for the Universal Joints for the drive shafts? Mine are both shot, but hopefully dingbro can supply. Cheers all.
