Any suggestions on how to remove the wheel? I tried the John Twist method and gave it many good lumps with the hammer but no budging. Also given a vigorous wiggle side to side - no movement either. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190513/74fba25ed5d1bc454ec9c72c765c5d6e.jpg I'm thinking maybe putt...

I went to Beaulieu autojumble two years ago. Absolutely pissed it down and I got soaked through. Probably clouded my view on it. However when I did escape the rain, I just thought it was full a load of old overpriced tat. I also hate having to ask for prices on everything. Especially as when I open ...

He actually drove it spirited.

That explains the pictures of him in a pub on that video.

Get rid of it and put the money into the 1100. That only has a warning light. The 1100 needs time, not money, throwing at it. Almost got the BGT in working order now and it's running much happier. However I can't let it take too much of my spare time away from finishing the 1100. Hence why I'm prob...

This brings it up to date. The engine runs the best I've ever had it running. Way quieter with less tapping and an idle that I can trust. At the moment it appears the brakes may need some work next. Front discs were reading ~160C on the IR thermometer and the back drums were at 95C and 60C on the dr...

Then I went for a good blitz. Made a short video of part of the route. Sorry for the shakiness, that's down to the fact I'm just using a standard mobile phone windscreen mount. Also the clanking on corners is my tools flying around the boot. [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rd_5-0C2bo[/yout...

This brings us up to today. First job of today was to get the oil changed. This was for a number of reasons. Firstly I put Granvill 20w-50 stuff in - apparently this is cheap crap. Secondly that oil had no indication it had any ZDDP in. Thirdly my oil pressure dropped a good 5-10psi since I put that...

Then it was time to take her for a drive. I took a quick photo at a local church. Unfortantly the moderns were polluting the scenery. https://autoshite.com/uploads/monthly_2019_05/20190510_203624.thumb.jpg.3069772d36a9c0c1d170a57585f51fc5.jpg https://autoshite.com/uploads/monthly_2019_05/20190510_20...

So I don't need to give you guys any introduction to this one. Instead I'll update on where I'm at with it and what I've done over the last week since its been back. I decided I was going to make a concerted effort to using this bastard of a car. As I had a new toy (Boxster) that was distracting me,...
