Try Super Performance in Britain. I got the belts plus the tensioner bearings from them, all for £65, sometime back. That must have been a special...
Jeez, remind me never to buy an F40 :)
I'm with you on this Boxer12. Maybe a bit starry eyed but, depending on your inclination and skills, I could definitely see the attraction of...
Hi Mr jford10014, if you PM me your email address I can send you a word document for changing the cam drive bearings in-situ. It has lots of...
Greasing of suspension joints through those little grease nipples went out of fashion around the 60's. Shame?? Got loads on my Healey and at...
There is a second set of 'retarded' points in each distributor for improved idling. It's common to have these disconnected along with the...
The logic behind the dash lights is a bit strange. With the headlights on full beam there is a winzy little light which glows in the tacho. You...
Engine manufacturers are fighting to get every last % in good fuel consumption. 20-30% improvements with a bit of acetone? Excuse me? He sure...
Newmann, I'm sure you are right, but isn't a wiper blade very flexible? How does it know if the arm is exactly perpendicular to the glass? The...

11.9 volts means its currently discharged. It wouldn't necessarily mean it needs replacing, maybe just re-charging. Old batteries seem to need...

I hope it's not the cam drive bearings because on the 308 anyway, normally it's an engine out job, (probably complete with "oh, while it's out we...
The connectors on my 308 have around 2 kOhm resistance (so there is something other than pure metal in there) and the cables are approx. 1 kOhm...
There's no law that says the coefficient of friction is limited to 1, eg - glue or sticky rubber. So presumably you can get more than 1 g if you...
The filler plug on my transfer case was ridiculously tight and almost impossible to get undone. I guess from corrosion or the last garage service....
Mine has done this a couple times, especially when left after a damp journey. As Mr Don 16th says you have to break it free by starting it in...
I'm sure you're right, but how the heck do you balance a wheel with these three things ?!
