His head came to the level with the top of Blackpool Tower, The way he threw his weight about really made you sick, 'Till David came and smacked hi...

Re: Engine casting number identification
Hi Graham, Casting numbers can be very misleading - as they rarely relate or cross-refer to actual vehicle manufacturers parts numbers, given that are more often as not batch and date codes etc. Surely by far the simplest approach would be a photograph of the engine and gearbox so we can all have a ...

Re: 1932 16/20 SALOON TF 8047
I know the car - in fact, before it was due to go under the hammer at Anglia Car Auctions in April 2013, I went to the then owner's home and got it all up and running for him, as it had stood for donkey's 'ears (as we say in Bermingum). It fetched £18K. at the A.C.A. auction, and I nearly bought it,...

Re: DB18 SS Rear Axle
Use bonded linings.
Before fitting, file a chamfer on the end of each lining - and also a slight chamfer along the sides to allow the lining to seat more readily if there is any wear ridge in the drums.

Re: Battery problem
My reply was in the overall gambit of the subject matter - intended to convey that dealers cannot hide behind the manufacturer - which applies from Zeppelins to pork pies. Up until about the mid-sixties when you bought a car you signed away your rights under the Sale of Goods Act 1896 (yes! 1896) an...

Re: Battery problem
Good morning Brian-H, Ha -ha - youve kicked your ball into my garden, so let's get a few things straight. Firstly, your contract for the purchase of the car is with the supplying dealer and nothing to do with the manufacturer - so they cannot hide behind saying Nissan must accept the fault as a warr...
