Thanks for the information re the flushing.I know the rad possibly need re coring as there is already a leak on it but I will use the Citric acid before I have the rad .repaired
To change the subject I need to insure the Conquest ,any recommendations .I`m with Abbey fields at the moment with the Rover Ive just sold,but any suggestions. Len

I was going to try Abbey fields next time but at the moment I am very happy with RHS. Maybe not the cheapest but lots included at standard rate and a good service without hours on the phone listening to musak and a recorded message saying “why not try our web site”.

Hello Hagerty is the cheapest so far at £106 inc breakdown

Morning have arranged ins through Abbey Fields ,and very pleased I have just had delivery of the Daimler this morning and also anm very pleased .There are like all old ones,jobs to do ,but that is part of the fun.Does anyone know where I can get a clock for the dash It had broken a wheil ago and attempt to repair it not successful The dial isnt very good condition and the workings are now missing

Fortunately I`ve found a clock Len

Just starting work on the Conquest I need a circuit diagram .Also the car ran out of petrol on my drive ,though gauge showing 1/4 full I pulled the reserve knob but still no petrol to carbs .So I bought a gallon put it in and after a little while turning over it started Is it easy to get to the reserve part in the tank Len

^ maybe the changeover to the reserve pipe isn't changing over (I don't think it's a separate tank, just a lower take-off point) - get as assistant to pull/push the reserve while you peek about at the cable and the changeover

Morning I now have the Conquest. Where can I get a wiring diagram for it Len

Morning,checking the reserve supply I noticed there was a weep of fuel from the reserve switch ,so I`ve ordered new cork seals.The cable to operate the switch is quite stiff and I am worried about withdrawing the inner cable , cleaning and oiling it. Might I have trouble getting it all back in .Its awkward to use as it is Len
