A busy weekend………I’m waiting for a new master cylinder piston for the Riley and mrs Alf has gone to visit our daughter so figured I had time to slow an oil leak down on the Chevy.

Re: What did you do today?
Not today but Saturday….. An acquaintance has an A30 which I helped to get back on the road a while ago. He asked if I would help him get it started at the weekend. I was surprised as an old a series will usually fire up easily enough so I popped round with a set of jump leads and a few tools. It so...

Re: Electric vehicles, pros and cons. Have your say.
