Probably the best gearbox oil is Swepco 201 and for the engine a non synthetic 20w50 or 15w40 seems to be the norm. You will also find that most people change there oil more often than they change there underpants

Surely it must be your cylinder head casket

I'm thinking of taking my 11 year old boy who over the last year or so has taken a great interest in cars (mainly big fat cars such a the new Rolls Royce, Cayenne and Veryon). Is anyone else taking kids and do you think it's a good idea?

Just remember that now you will be charged 10% duty of the price of the car plus shipping and then 17.5% VAT on top of that figure. So a couple of years ago US cars where cheap but not as much these days.

And as James says get it inspected.

Good luck living the dream

At that time of year Eurotunnel will be running a minimum of 3 and up to 5 trains a hour so I think we should be ok until the New Year when we can all decided what the best time/route is.

The current list of interested people is: - Brendan (bjmullan) Mike (210bhp) Phil (pmjt) Tom (drummerboytom ) Tim (timwatsham) Gary (Gary71) bazz55 No timetable has bee...

As this takes us through Rouen it might be nice to stop and see the old GP circuit which ...

I would be up for a tunnel convoy

Nice job so when are we going to hear the sound track. Posting a mp3 of it doing 8500 rpm would be cool

Just reading an article in Classic Car June 1989 about Bob Watson building a RSR race car. The car had twin plug head fitted but it was configured to run with only single plugs and 10.3 compression, partly for economy and partly because even then a twin-plug distributor costed £2000 :shock: . He als...

And now I will ask my assistant to light the touch paper and prove beyond doubt that Christmas pudding does contain flammable gases

I also carry a spare relay, a spare set of points and some tin foil for those extra high amp fuses

Another thing to check is badly worn points (if you car has them!) I noticed that just before my point gave up the ghost the my tacho was all over the place just like you described.
