Does "no oil on rubber" mean that my suggestion of Vaseline is a bad idea for bushing installation? I don't want anyone to wreck their bushes on my bad recommendation! Richard & Daffy

What happens if you loosen the bleed nipple, then press on the brake pedal? Does fluid come out? Does the brake pedal feel just like it would if you were driving? Have you tried removing the nipple

You could well be right about the tipping valve - you're heading out of my area of knowledge, I've got single circuit brakes (they kept fitting them to UK cars much later than US cars, so even my '78

I can't speak for certain for all years, but the 1500 used the same diff whether the car was overdrive or not. I *think* this is true for all years - different Marks used different diffs, but for a

Do you have a shroud blocking off those parts of the radiator not covered by the fan? Apparently this greatly improves the effectiveness of the fan. I'm passing on hearsay here - living in Scotland

Well, if you want space to park 9 Spitfires (closely packed) that should just about do it! I thought I had a big one, but I'm starting to feel a little inadequate now (workshop, that is!). Richard &

Yes, Mark, I think it is very possible that the pump would sieze - although I doubt many people have deliberately tried it to find out! Adding grease may help, but I don't know how long for - I would

Things are different in Europe to the US - the older American style of having one light to perform brake, tail, and indicator light functions is not allowed here. A separate orange indicator light i

Yes, I see your point - our combined tail and brake lights use dual filament bulbs as you state. But the indicator must be completely separate to the brake - and orange as well - so John couldn't co

If you want to get the top on at short notice, you can get away without the brackets to the B-pillars (if you are missing those right now). In that case, all you need is a pair of 1/2"-head bolts (ca

I believe the DVLA has laid-down rules for when a car is still the same car. It's based on a points system - so many points for the engine, so many for the gearbox, so many for the body and so on. A

AFAIK, the MkIII frame has a proper folding mechanism, unlike the MkII which is more of a dismantling thingy. The MkIII frame won't bolt straight up to a MkII body, but should be able to with a few

I like the over-all look (a bit like a smiley face!!). Only comment is that the word 'AMPS' seems to be placed a little too high - it might look better if it was more central? Just an opinion! Richar
