Not trying to teach my granny how to suck eggs but it looks like it needs a strut brace across the top of the rear shock mounts.

Good name for the project

Drain the oil using an oil extractor siphon out the dipstick tube, Google it Pella is a good make. Drop the now empty sump and repair the plug. If you do go down the replacement sump route a few things to consider. 1. They are not cheap and could be difficult to source a replacement. 2. The bolts th...

Anyone recognise the mk1 in the Daniel Sturridge Subway Ad?

Pity the wheels aren't period but lovely looking car.

Opportunity missed there Paul with the gauge pod you could have made a handy tray for the Ray-Bans if you had flattened and recessed the top slightly. Otherwise Superb.

Beat me to it Paul.

All structural bolted connections are a minimum of 2 bolts for precisely the reasons Paul has stated.

If it aint broke don't fix it.

I despair at the number of times people get sucked into replacing perfectly servicable parts. There are exceptions of course particularly with suspension parts which I agree with replacing in sets.

Dust shield behing the brake disc, mine rotted away to nothing and flapped about.

Yep I feel your pain, I've had mine over 10 years and as recently as October this year finally decided I wasn't using it enough and it would be better for the car to go to someone with more enthusiasm for it than me, so put it up for sale. Had some interest in it but not really anything that came to...

I had a small fire in my mk1a when I fitted a Jimi bracket. Let me say absolutely categorically it was nothing to do with Jimi's design but only my own stupidity. I wrongly routed the throttle cable too close to the battery positive terminal, the cable must have rubbed against the clamp and frayed t...

I took the car home tonight for the first time, and i thought it might be nice to take it to the same spot i first photographed the car 2 years ago before it underwent surgery.... some before and after comparisons, hard to believe it's the same car. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v624/paddy1970/...

If I still have mine, which is most likely, then I'll pop along. Looking to sell mine as no longer have the space and time for it since I got back into motorbikes. Any idea of dates yet?

I had the same thing happen to me a while back, had just recently changed the water pump and coolant, believe it was an air lock but was also advised to change the pressure cap, did this and never had a problem since.

"You're right Paul Woods can shoehorn anything into the back of a mk1"

There are rules governing the size and position of the number plate, text font etc and I've heard of a few people falling foul of over exuberant traffic wardens and there interpretation of the regulations. from the DVLA website The police can issue fixed penalty fines for illegally displayed number ...

Is it just me but is there more than just a hint of an MR2 in this? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Kawasaki-GPZ1100-Sidecar-Bike-/221046354118?_trksid=p3984.m185&_trkparms=algo%3DPI.WATCH%26itu%3DUA%26otn%3D5%26po%3DLCA%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D484521859571194396&_qi=RTM1066540 http://www.rhdsidecars....

Certainly did and certainly was



BTW my son is a panel beater and refurbs wheels, he did a few of his mates recently with polished lips and painted centres. I'll see if he's got any pictures you can check out.
