Re: Handbrake againnnnn!,,,
I recently, all summer, have been refurbishing and replacing lots of worn parts etc on the underside of the car and in the engine. I spent three days on and off trying to sort out the handbrake on my car. Eventually I took both the angled brackets of the calipers to check if there was anything wrong...

Re: Low output from heater
If your car is a Mk1 then like mine it is probably clogged up all sorts of nasties. I am going to replace mine when I have some spare cash but I never seem to have enough spare as they are very expensive.

Re: Why did my alternator belt snap?
Was the belt you fitted a OEM belt or an inexpensive copy? OEM belts are best, Copies can be rubbish.

Re: Alloy door mirrors on a mk1
Did you ever find any alloy door mirrors for your Mk1, As I think I still have the ones I used to have on my Mk1. They are a little bit smaller than the "proper" ones but if you are interested let me know.

Re: Wanted a bit of advice on metal turning lathes
Hi, FWIW I'd be looking for a Colchester or a Harrison as they're good quality and so long as you can inspect it first (assuming you're looking at used, not new!) you should get good kit for a reasonable price. When you say currently 12" I'm assuming you're talking bed length, not chuck!(?) Th...

Re: Thermostat to engine coolant pipe
I had a similar idea, to tap out the hole in the engine block and then turn up a brass fitting with threads on so it can be screwed into the block with some sealant of some kind. At least it should never need to be done again in the cars life time. I might even consider doing the same at the thermos...

Thermostat to engine coolant pipe
How do you repair/mend the corroded steel pipe insert, that fits into the bottom right hand side of the engine block. This insert is very similar to the steel insert that is in the right hand side of the thermostat. The coolant pipe from the thermostat steel insert is connected to the insert on the ...
