Hi Howard thanks, the checks and video were done with the car in neutral. Will report back with results for same check with the car in gear.

I live in hope someone has a solution that does not involve removing the gearbox and engine but fear the worst. As can be seen from the video, gearbox in neutral, push the clutch in, strange noise which seems to come from the gearbox, revs drop and engine will eventually stall unless clutch is...

I work for a major UK Telecomms company, the ones I like are from scammers claiming to be from the technical department of the company I work for. My record so far is 15 mins until I told them I was in the International Operations Centre of the company they claimed to be from. They seemed to get...

Ah Mike but next question Paul will be right, but Arthur will shout louder and will get the point. He will also get an extra bonus point as he was offended by Sue getting a bonus point on the previous question. He will have no qualms in taking the bonus point although he vehemently opposed Sue...

Hi Jim, I bought a 1970's DYMO 1710 of ebay to do my dash labels. Quickly found out it is the tapes for them that are hard to come by they are 6mm wide I think the newer ones use 9mm tape. Do not know enough about original GT40's to be able to say if they used 6mm tape, but I will do my best to...

Hi David, I put a metal joiner in, with take off for a bleed to the header. First issue was my failure to realise the milkalor clamps were to wide for the recess on the joiner and the hose blew off last year, this resulted in a callout to the RAC who replaced the clamps. This time the clamps...

Hi Markus, visors were Cobra ones I cut down, attached them to the roll bar, and bought from a UK company called Brasscraft. Nick

Hi Andy, Thanks for the advice, when I did it the first time the instructions recomended silicone for the head and cylinder block joint, so that one seemed OK. Used a very thin layer of recomended Reinzosil on the other gaskets and that seems to have done the trick. Nick

So, an interesting few weeks. Have had a problem with the car since it was built, seemed to run great for a few miles, would then start backfiring running rough and generally misbehaving. In the end I bit the bullet and loaded trailered it up over the highest motorway in England to John Sleath...

Big enough for the microsoft chip to pass through ;)

Thanks Randy I was hoping someone would confirm it was not needed, especially as I am doing everything to cool things in that area down :)

Just wondering what this hole is for as my gasket covers it. Thanks Nick

Yesterday I took my 40 to John Sleath racing at Doncaster to try and get it running properly. To cut a long story shorter, it turned out when the engine heated up it caused air leaks of various severity at the base of most of the carbs, and at one point on the inlet manifold. I had fitted...

In Britain we process happiness... differently, Bill Bailey - BBC

It appears I possibly only had a five minute wait at the end, because I was on foot. Others I know attending the same and different centres, had 5 mins in the building then 10 minutes in their cars. Like all NHS healthcare, Covid Vaccinations are free in the UK

My wife had already had her 1st jab bit of a sore arm and fever first day, had mine today no problems at the moment, both Astra Zeneca. Number of Covid Vaccination Centres in the town, I was lucky as it was only a 10 min walk across the park to mine which turned out to be the local Islamic...
