Which LED bulbs did Santa bring you Alan? Don't forget to turn the adaptor on the base if required - I missed that in the instructions, and had an LHD dip pattern for a while!

Santa gave me a pair of LED Headlight bulbs for christmas . I therefore need to convert my sealed beam units to H4's. Could anybody recommend some reasonaly priced H4 light units and will the existing light bowls be suitable?

Driving down a steep ice-snow-covered hill road in the old CRV I found the ABS too effective- it triggered and the car slid faster. The answer I was told is ot remove the fuse, allowing the wheels to lock up and build a wedge of snow to slow progress. Have yet to see what the Dacia does in that situation, but I doubt theres a separate fuse to pull. Peter

Seem to think my Nissan X-Trail had a snow mode setting that had this effect. Never had the need to use it though.

Yes but disqualification would still mean he Wins the championship, if he takes Hamilton out. He would be Champion on Race wins. 9:8

You're right.

Just wondered if a driver takes out another car and race control deem it was a deliberate act can the offending car be disqualified? This is the only thing that would prevent Max winning the champioship.

When I got a new tonneau I did'nt know what the strap was meant to attach to so I made a loop in the end of it and slid it over the handbrake lever. Works well.

What make is it?

I run slightly lowered suspension in the 4a and the 6.  That was one of the reasons for planning the 4 poster. That and it avoids kneeling down to check I have got the arms correctly placed.

Liftech. The model for a normal height garage and normal height 4A. I mark the arm positions on the garage floor to avoid kneeling. It's a bu**ger is old age

[Wanted - TR4A Dynamo or Parts]

Thanks very much Tim and Ali for the replies. A local TR Register club member has repaired the dynamo for me so I'm sorted.

Thanks again

Alan.

[Wanted - TR4A Dynamo or Parts]

The large Lucar terminal has broken off my dynamo. Does anyone have or know where I could source a new terminal and rivet or a commutator end plate or a complete dynamo?

Thanks

Alan.

I got a 2 post lift from Liftech. Designed for normal height garage it has a 1.4m lift. Very pleased with it. About £1000 plus delivery.

[mechanic petrol pump, rear upper nut]

My 4A came with one of those pumps. Operating lever fell into the sump after 7 years! Have now fitted an original AC pump from Dave Davis and just rebuilt another AC pump as a spare. Aftermarket pumps are pants.

[Vehicle Lift for TR 6?]

SHORT 2 POST / NARROW WIDTH! IDEAL FOR HOME-USE AND WORKSHOPS WITH RES – LIFTECH Garage Equipment

I 've got one of these. Takes up a surprising small amount of room in my standard height double garage and can still get two cars in if necessary.

Hi Kev,

Sorry I assumed that the Esso 99 RON was also just being introduced as well.

Alan.

[Esso Super Unleaded now 99 Ron]

Would it not state 99 RON on the pump?

[TR4A revving at idle]

Have you tried gently pressing on throttle spindle to see if this has any effect?

Alan.

[TR4A revving at idle]

I had a similar problem and like yourself changed the worn looking spindles and the butterflies without success. I found that a very light finger press on one of the spindles reduced the tick over although I could not feel any play. So I fitted an oversize spindle. This has completely cured the problem so it would appear you only need a small amount of wear of the spindle bores to effect the tick over.
