It's not!!! Thankfully. Time for wax injection and a bit of Buzzweld sheep stuff.

MOT time yesterday-failed-on the bloody handbrake! Took on RoverFolkUs advice on the shite and looked through the hole at the pivot shoe and it looked new-along with the springs-so didn't take the hub off. Adjusted up the shoes (should have rechecked after a while) and the adjustment at the handbrak...

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...

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...

/ 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...

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...

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...

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.

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.

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...
