Re: NEC Restoration Show 2024 - Call for Volunteers

I did 3 days last year but am happy to step down this year to let someone else go.
If you are stuck for volenteers I am happy to do 2 days this year. Any 2 of the 3 days whatever suits you.

Re: Valvoline VR1 20W50 - £29.99

Damm! Just bought 5 litres 2 weeks ago from Opie (already had some in stock to make up the 6 litres required) cost £44 with shipping and vat :(

Still - might stock up at that price.

Re: Brake pedal adjustment

Forgot to update this: Bled the whole system again. Went for a driive but the pedal was the same as before. I think the possibilty of makeing the brakes bind made me over compensate and I left too bigger gap between the 'push rod' and the master cylinder. So got to do it again :( The next day I put ...

Heater cable problem

With the instrument cluster out the other day I noticed one of the operating cables to the heater was flapping about. The little peg on the lever had snapped off. As luck would have it, it was easy to access so I tried to pull the lever off the spindle but no joy - it wasn't shifting. So as it would...

Re: Brake pedal adjustment

Bash - I also did the Tippex thing. As long as the pedal is improved and the brakes don't bind I'm happy. Question - I bled the brakes last Saturday. As only a small amount of air has got into where I removed the pipes and put bungs in the holes - can I get away with just bleeding the front brakes t...
