Try Car Breakdown Recovery in the Yellow Pages - a lot of these people are happy to do long-distance transport as well as recovery to nearby garages. Call round several, both where the car is now an

I had the same thought, on heater control lighting, about my Spit. If you remove the perspex there is a hole where it looks like a bulb holder could push into - but no sign of a bulb holder, or wiri

If a panel is BMH supplied, it is the same panel whoever you buy it from (and is more or less the same price whoever you buy it from in my experience). The MG BGT wings I bought a couple of years ag

Blimey, that sounded a bit scary! I hope the damage isn't too severe. I hope also that the starter motor isn't too badly fried - wherever you get a replacement, they will want your old one in exchan

I can't see any obvious clues in anything you have done - if the engine is turning over then it hasn't siezed due to overheating, sitting out in the rain has never done Daffy any harm, so that shoul

OK, the song has to be 'Hark The Herald Angels Sing'. Is the line "Join the Triumph in the skies", the Spitfire being a Triumph that shares its name with a 'plane? Or is that too obscure, and there i

Well... if it is a broken spring in the clutch, it MAY be possible to replace the spring, as long as it hasn't done too much damage to anything else. Where you would get hold of the correct spring, o

I tried to get new new hose from Halfords that takes water to the heater valve. They only seemed to stock one size, with an O/D too big - and the wall was quite thin, so it could easily kink as you
