As in the above question does anyone have a current number for John at JCL please, I need to contact him before the Spares Day event. Many thanks Alan G

Does anyone have the phone number for JCL John Blockley please? Thank you Alan G

Agreed Andy. The problem with the S/S bumpers is you only have one choice of front bumper namely the later CR type bumper which sits further out than the CP bumper and in my eyes just doesn't look right fitted to a CP TR6, too big a gap for me. Alan G

Who are they and where are they, do they actually exist? Alan G

What? The TR Forum police have struck again! I give up Brian R. It had not drifted away from the original silly idea at all another “let’s just pull the thread and hope it goes away” .I have had enough I’m off! Alan G

Keith its one of two things, either your driveshaft has a screw on collar which needs to be undone (see earlier reply) before you can pull out the outer half of the driveshaft or the outer protective semi-hard rubber collar is preventing the outer half of the driveshaft from coming out of the backplate/trailing arm. If the latter is the problem just bend back this protective cover to remove the outer half. Alan G

On the original drive shafts the male and female ends slid together, the rubber boot went on held together with bendy wire (this worked rather well) it was only the later repro stuff which had a threaded collar. I have taken out countless drive shafts and all you need to do is disconnect the 4 bolts which hold it onto the diff coupling and disconnect the 6 bolts which hold it onto the trailing arm casing and then withdraw it, easy. When you come to re-instate the complete shaft turn over the semi-hard rubber sheath so it will go through the trailing arm and once through just re-bend the r

Have to say I agree with John G here. I started off thinking what was so difficult with a simple adding and multiplication task? Crickey I am confused now! Thank God they didn't make simple arithmetic out to be so complicated in my day. I'm with you John. Alan G

Being a Jag owner I refuse to call that a Jaguar, it looks like something from "Who framed Roger Rabbit". It would appear that Jaguar's proud racing history has been confined to the scrap heap, just like this horrific vision in pink should be. Bye Bye Jaguar its been a privilege. Alan G

Indeed so Ian, Happy Birthday Roger enjoy your big 75th today. Its only a number you know. Hearty congrats dear boy. Alan G

Both myself and my wife (unusual) are also both enjoying theis 4 parter. A very good view indeed. Alan G

Ho Ho Ho been watching the silent movies again Richard? You must be older than me!! Alan G

OK Dave many thanks for your reply at least I know what is going on now. Alan G

Excuse me for being cynical here but is anyone doing anything in the office itself now that Jo is ill. If not then this is not a good state of affairs for the club. How many prospective new members is the club missing out on? If I tried to gain any information "the old fashioned way" and no one picked the phone up I would give up and join another club! Is Jo actually coming back I wonder? Is the blind leading the blind? Will we ever get to find out anyway? Don't miss the next exciting episode of..................... The Perils of Pauline! Bet nobody remembers Pearl White anyway? A

Indeed shock news of Dave's passing, a thoroughly nice guy. RIP Dave and condolences to Maria and family. Alan G
