Before you tear your hair out, Ken Copeland mentioned that the light will stay on if oil pressure is not present. The light should light also if the emergency brake handle is up. You may want to iso

You mean Spitfire Secret # 3? :) Shhhh....... The little hub cap is meant to be removed by screwing a small bolt into the hole on the end. The bolt forces the cap away from the hub. Sounds great in t

Maybe not Michael, Unless there is an "S" somewhere in the tire sidewall grade marking (such as 155R13 78S) the tire is not speed rated for 112 MPH, which implies a less robust construction. See http

There is always that chance of damage, but IMO it's unlikely. Have you removed the sending unit? If any gas is inside the float you can buy a new one for $7 - 8 US. Entire sending units are available

I've had bad thermostats do that. IMO t-stats aren't so expensive that you can't pop a new one in to check. If the bugger doesn't open all the way the engine will run hot no matter what the temp rati

They all do. Might be some aluminum [aluminium] in the SLK. Besides size, look at the extra equipment those modern cars carry. But light weight was why Lotus sports cars were (and are still) awesome.

Vic, you have looked carefully at the outboard axle end and there is no runout, correct? Even a teensey bit will be multiplied at the wheel. That "wheel base" you mention is where the wheel studs mou

No they don't. Mine doesn't. Nice & smooth up to 85. Offhand I'd look in two areas, assuming that what you have checked in the front end is OK. 1. Drivetrain/ driveshaft out of balance? Or bad u-join
