Re: Daimler Conquest Century 1954
in this case I would assume that your "idling throttle" might be too high. I have the experience that with Daimler fluid flywheel cars that the idling speed is rather low compared to other cars e.g. 500 rpm only. If you have too high idling revs, the flywheel takes too much momentum and yo...

Re: 1929 Daimler 20/70 model M
I think this is a similar car that has been auctioned. Might give a price indication.

Re: Petrol Cap Grommet New DHC
Hi Elliot
Do you mean this one:
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2287&p=13246#p13246
Or the gasket in the cap? For the gasket I purchased a suitable cork ring on amazon.com.

Starting problem Daimler New DHC
Hello Daimler experts: Taking out my New DHC (VDV 413) after the winter break for the first time again, I experienced starting problems.

Daimler 16-20 (?)
What type of car is this? In my view it must be a Daimer LQ 16/20, the predecessor of the LQ 2-20 and 3-20 series.
