    Pinto Problem

    Make sure that your manual choke is coming off completely as this could cause these problems
  4. Well done, anyone that runs has my respect as I know I couldn't do it, Cycling is my thing.-I like being on wheels!

    Lost Spark

    I don't know what distributor you are using but the plug on the Bosch has a tendency to fail. I replaced the plug after a similar failure .
  6. Best of luck to you but remember without photos it didn't happen !!!!!!!
  7. I think a Memorial run is a great idea, but why don't we run it Nationally on a Regional basis. This would bring those that want bto be involved but live too far from the action to take part. It could even become an annual Rhocar Charity Event.
  8. I haven't got much hair left for the wind to blow through, but I found them quite good over the winter to keep the icy blast off your right hand.
  9. I quite like the R clip idea but my hinges are only a 1mm pin so I would have to find and buy 2sets of heavier lift off hinges (1 set for the doors) Do you think I would be able to use one of the 1/2 turn panel locks to locate it onto the side panel?
  10. I was wondering what others use to secure the wind deflectors at the back edge, mine just had a alloy bracket that rested over the edge trim but I have lost both of them off the car recently (not pleasant getting smacked in the face with a lump of plastic at 70 mph) It seems that when there is a cross-wind the deflectors are lifting out of the hinges. I'd be grateful for any thoughts before I make some replacements
  11. How could anyone not like that?
  12. May be worth getting the battery checked for starting power, I had a brand new one replaced by eurocarparts because it was low on starting amps.

    Passed Today!

    Well done, great achievement its a shame the DVLA can't get their finger out to get you on the road quickly.
  14. My Exmo has a Sierra rack in it but it was one of the first ones so I don't know if they changed at all.
  15. Love watching these in car Videos, the best ones I have seen were on the Manx Rally quite a few years ago, Not a rally I ever did but one I always promised myself I would do someday. Well I might just have a trip over in the kit one day as that is the closest I am going to get now .
  16. I spent 15 years doing autocross, rallies,autotests and trials many years ago, I loved every minute of it. I competed in the same events as Roger Clark, Tony Pond, Jimmy Mcrae but now-where near the some class.I like to think that my early experiences helped me become a better driver and would recommend it to any-one.http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e262/Alan_Dawson/img032_zpsa05b873e.jpg http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e262/Alan_Dawson/img034_zpse1f3a725.jpg?t=1399958895.
  17. Must be a new model of Spitfire (theduck bought the wrong one) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271480311223?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
  18. Hi Bryan , Do you want me to come and have a look, another head is sometimes useful in spotting something you have missed. Give me a ring or pm me . Alan

    Insurance

    Changed to A-Plan from Adrian Flux this year, fully comp.,agreed value, 4000 miles £99--- a saving of £55 over my renewal quote. I would have stayed with them if my renewal quote had been more reasonable especially when they offered to beat A-Plan when I phoned to cancel
  20. What I can't understand is why Ebay don't remove the ads. when it is pointed out to them what the seller is doing,surely there must be some way of preventing these type of scams.
  21. I sent seller a message asking how a Robin Hood could be registered as a Dutton and he replied "The person who built it was going to build a Dutton then changed his mind, all the details on the V5 are correct except the name Dutton, i insure it with Adrian flux and they are fine with it"I have told him that it should have gone through IVA but I have had no reply.
  22. Well done Mark, pleased you got through this time, look forward to seeing the car-possibly at Donnington!!!!
