Re: Tool storage

Hi Graham There was a specially shaped box that fitted in the spare wheel compartment for the hand tools. I've only ever seen one and I have it! I'll send you a photo. The larger tools were also stored in the spare wheel compartment held in place with braided straps that were screwed to the floor. M...

Re: One week of ownership

Hi Graham The only real worry is the lack of fluid in the flywheel. If this falls low, the bearing overheats and wrecks itself and the seal. If the fluid disappears again then I’m afraid it’s gearbox out for a new fluid flywheel bearing and seal. By the sounds of it you’ve already found the man to s...

Re: V Boyd Carpenter

His Conquest was stopped by the Police for a roadside spot check and immediately condemned, never to rise again! He certainly was a character, a disagreeable one most of the time but he served the members well, OK - mainly well. There are some horror stories about his “call out” charges but he gener...

Re: DB18 Saloon in Melbourne Australia

It does look good doesn't it? On the topic of the falling Australian Dollar, is there much interest in buying classic vehicles from here and importing into the UK or Europe? I know that we benefit from a drier climate and so hopefully less rust but the sun is so much fiercer and harsher on finishes...

Re: DB18 Saloon in Melbourne Australia
