OK, so this is a little bit of a long story, but I've been traveling. In fact, it was the traveling that made things so interesting, as in addition to hotel reservations, etc. and a final "you need to leave on this date" deadline, things got a little complicated. By way of background: I've...

Yes, according to my instructions: "There is a slot in the back of older Drop Arms, this slot lines up with a hole in the bottom of the steering box, newer drop arms don't have this slot. If there is no slot then align the centre of the Ball Joint with the inside of the chassis leg as it looks...

Thanks. Tried the "pull thing". Re-engaged with it today, and only managed to strip the holes. Not the bolts, mind you, but the actual holes in the wheel where the pulling bolts go in. Will wait until I can drill 8mm holes (instead of the 6) and re-tap. Then it's the cut-off wheel. In the...

It's more of what I didn't do... On the "plus side", I did wire wheel off rust on the rear crossmember, prime and paint. It looks much better. But really want to do a proper sand blast, then POR, then paint. Someday. Then, the frustration. I had two goals: replace the fan belt, and align...

Trying to get ready for a two week UK tour (maybe I can find a green lane), then shipping to the US and a cross country drive. Changed the header tank which was getting a bit brittle and replaced it with a nice aluminum one... Starting to change hoses to silicone, but that may take longer than...

If I send pics, everyone will know how horrible I am at wiring! Don't get me wrong: I like wiring, but I'm not good at finding good "hidden paths" for the wires, and the relay box ended up looking like more of a rat's nest than I intended. The fuses are adequate, and they are 30 amp relays...

Now, here's a project I've been nibbling at for far too long... but now it's "job done". Headlight and Fog Light relays. I wish I was better at wiring. The connections are correct, and I'm getting a lot better at labeling things (heat shrink labels are very helpful), but I want to get...

When was the last time you checked the refrigerant level?

Beck has been making those (as well as Speedsters) for years...http://beckspeedster.com/generalproductinfo/550spyder.html

Just a simple oil change... overdue, but worth it. Oh, and a bath as well... It's the little things.

Asking out of curiosity, why remove the jiggle pin? Is it not useful? If installed correctly, it should work fine. Works a treat on my XJS.

I have this one in my '98 D90, seems "period correct", fits in the DIN slot, and has bluetooth for phone and listening to podcasts/music on my phone. One could argue there are better sounding systems out there, but our vehicles don't really make for a great sound stage, do they? Only thing I...

I have the Exmoor, and have been using them for about a year. I did the full "package", new buns, new upholstery, heater upgrade. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

I'm getting confused by the term "architecture". When I think architecture, I think V or straight engine? If a V, what is the angle between the banks? How many cylinders? Bore and stroke, cam, all that other stuff, I consider that as where the "tuning" comes in. For example, the old Chevy...

Thanks!

Which part number did you order? Quantity?

Mine gets shipped to an APO, and its Christmastime, so I'll probably see the Winter 2022 edition some time around the autumnal equinox...

I'm curious... why the recommendation for deep cycle batteries? What electrical load do you have when the engine (alternator) is not operating that requires a deep cycle? The only load I can think of on mine that is a royal pain is an after market alarm system that a PO installed on top of the...

But they are only supporting the engine, not the 3400# car!

Oil?
