  1. Hi Guy's

    I need some expert advice please.

    Just started my 6 after a nut and bolt resto, tuned it up ok with strobe.

    My problem is that its running to fast what ever i do with the air bleed adj and worst of all the exhaust manifold and and S/S exhaust pipe is glowing cherry red, oil press is good, water temp spot on, what is causing this.

    If there is any member who lives close I would be willing to part with beer tokens for some help, post code IP16 4DU 19 Haylings Grove.

     

    Any thoughts would be grateful

  3. ​Hi Guys

    I need a bit of help / advice, I purchased a " Narrow Alloy Roll Bar " from Rimmers code " RR1150NARROW " it came with no fitting instructions, when I tried to fit it there seems to be bits and pieces in the way under the car making drilling the holes fitting the back plates nearly impossible. I realise I am not the first person to fit one of these so if any of you experts can help me with some advice on how to proceed and may be some pictures or diagrams it would be much appreciated.

     

    ​In anticipation

  8. Hi Guy's,

     

    Probably a long shot.....but has anybody out there got a second hand late boot lid ( 1974 ) kicking around that they don't need, that is repairable ???

     

    Beer tokens await lol.

     

    Kind regards

  9. Hi Guy's,



    I hope I am not doing wrong by posting this on here but:



    I'm just testing the water here, I am on the committee of my local club " Sizewell Sports and Social Club, Leiston, Suffolk IP16 4JX " and we want to start up an Annual Classic Car and vintage farm machinery etc event.


    We are trying to get the inaugural event up and running on Sunday 24th July and was wondering if the if any of the local Eastern groups or any other groups would be interested in attending ?


    I have tried emailing Eastern groups direct but the email addresses are unobtainable ??


    We have a large club house with two large bars, one which is part of the main hall which can hold up to 250 people, the show area is a large sports field probably about 3 acres.


    The bars would obviously be open and available to all who attend and on a Sunday the club does a Carvery lunch menu, but we would also run a BBQ.


    The event would start at say 10:30 and run through till every one goes as the club is open all day till 11pm.


    If anybody wanted to stay over I have a 20 unit Camping and Caravan site address:

  14. How do I make my jpeg files smaller from mb's to kb's it seems some of my pics have saved in mega byte size and some in kilo byte size !!! all taken with my smart phone and sent to my desk top.

     

    Sorry for being a dinosaur but how do I reduce the amount of space they use ???? :wacko::rolleyes:

  15. Hi thanks for the replies, if the sills are black under the crome /SS strip what about the bits under the front and rear bumpers ? should they be black or body colour ?

     

    Nigel

  16. Hi Guy's,

     

    I'm about to paint my windscreen frame and rear panel, what is the correct black paint to use !!

     

    Also on my late 74 TR6 should there be a bright trim running along the sills ? and should the sill section under the trim be in the same black paint.

     

    Your thoughts / advice would be very much appreciated.

     

    Nigel
