Re: 75 collected!!
I’ve had a good look underneath-can’t see any rust and past mot’s have not mentioned any. Will see when I take it for an mot in a couple of weeks. Seems the hit start issue may be an injector- bloke down the old bus depot who pointed me towards this has replaced a few on his 75 so will have a chat w...

75 collected!!
Picked this up today to give my Sierra a rest. 2.0 diesel auto-Connoisseur SE. 155,000 miles-done very little over the last few years. 6 weeks MOT left. Drives well- a few niggles to sort out-exhaust vibrating, headlining drooping , needs a good clean and takes a while to start when hot. Lovely blok...

Re: What Classic ?
/ puts Panhard's beret on How about some French tat like a Peugeot 604? / takes Panhard's beret off I’d love one, but don’t have the funds or skill to keep one going, if I could find one. Same story for a Renault 30, Lancia Gamma or a CX. If you get a Renault 30 some strangers will definitely buy y...

Re: What Classic ?
I had a 3500S-would wheelspin in 2nd on a dry road. Multi coloured as I swapped over rusty panels for good ones-all bolt on. Mine was a 1973 with PAS-think I bought it in about 1990-replaced it with a manual 3500 SD1-not as fast. Brakes on P6 were no problem-I used to drop the rear driveshafts off t...

Old Buses.
Don't know if anyone is interested. I've been volunteering at Cardiff Transport Preservation Group in Barry for a couple of years. Plenty of old vehicles here-I generally fix the electrics on them. Here's the website if any ones interested. https://www.ctpg.co.uk/ If you want a few more photos of th...

Re: Sierra, Royale and Range Rover update.
The original engine and gearbox were replaced with a 3.0 injection engine and 4 speed auto from a late Senator. The fuelling issue was a stuck open auxiliary air valve-took bloody ages to find.

Re: Sierra, Royale and Range Rover update.
Another MOT for the Sierra-needed a bit of welding on the rear seat belt mounts and a CV joint-cost £270. Couldn't be bothered trying to weld upside down in the cold.

Re: Anyone here know jack shit about P38 suspension?
Mine was the same when I changed a sensor. I fucked the blocks off and used a marked measuring stick and altered the height settings a few bits at a time. This was suggested on Landyzone-worked ok-only set standard height-I’ve got to fuck about a little bit more as it very slightly leans to one side...

Renault 9TL. Brother took it in part exchange for his XR4x4 when he bought a V12 XJS. Renault was a lovely comfy economical car.

Re: Cortina Capers. What are yours?
Father had a mark 2 1.3 WMY 713G. Used to tow our caravan with it in the 70’s. Caravans must have been a lot lighter then! I bought a 2.0 GL mark 5 in 1986-SMS 519X I think. was starting to rust at 4 years old. Went well and was comfy. Cousin had a mark 5 2.3 Ghia S auto at the same time- OMD 947X- ...
