Re: LA 10 1933 list of parts for sale

What size are the wheels and tyres? I take it they are spoked wires and that they're in good order?
Photo of the Different and rear axle would be good.

Re: daimler brakes

Sounds like a sticking calliper piston that doesn't return after release. Look out for one wheel hub that gets warmer than the others on the fronts, any pull on steering? Difficult to assess rears though as inboard but disc may look a bit blued? Otherwise, could be a servo piston sticking. I'm no ex...

Re: Recovery services - any good for old cars?

I have had occasion to use the RAC over the last 8 years and found their guys very knowledgable about older cars, and they say it makes a pleasant change to work on the older cars. However, very few have any Whitworth spanners and I have had to instruct them on how stuff works on occasion. So far, b...

Re: Speed limiters for all new cars

Any good sat nav already recognises speed limits but the way our councils keep changing them will entail every user to continuously update them. One of our major problems in Nottingham is deteriorating air quality and this is due to congestion and quite frankly no serious proper thinking on traffic ...

Re: Adjustable Steering Column Slippage

This was covered in an episode of Wheeler Dealers on a Jaguar XJC. You can probably catch it on Internet but it was towards end of the show. It was down to a worn piece on the collar of the column that the mechanism pinches up to and they got a replacement for about £20 from one of the classic jag d...
