Adding a screen in our car removed any remaining fumes and made SWMBO happy we don't smell of petroll after a blat with the hood down (also note our exhaust sticks out about 4" from the bumper) Got mine from another owner from the TR Register For Sale section last summer, easy-as to fit!

I'm finally getting ready to go buy tyres after months of dithering. I am finding a number of tyres seem to show inner tubes on the same page as the tyres. So do tyres like the Michellin-XAS, Pirelli-Centurato and Vredstein-Classic all require tubes? Or is this just a way to make the overall tyre more robust? Asking as I have a roadsire tyre repair kit I've only had to use a couple of times, but if a tube is involved, you've gotta rely on a spare, or recovery.

I just tried and went right in. Must've been a temporary issue!

I have one of the wand rechargable LED toches with multiple modes and strong magnets though I went onto Screwfix this week and ordered a Ansell Tornado Twin 6ft LED Non-Corrosive Batten Fitting 71W 7320lm light for the ceiling. Neighbour has one running the length of where he parks his car and it's like intensive daylight in his garage now. For £59 it seemed to be the right choice to replace a 4ft cruddy flourescent our houses previous owner had.

My ex-Caterham had an aluminium K-Series in it. I had a head gasket fail early on which required attention then it was how to get all the gunk out. Best approach was to get Comma Coolant and mix with distilled water per instructions. Fill engine, run up to temperature, cool, drain twice and repeat. No gunk left after 2nd time so this could be an approach to try.

Neil Ferguson is the man to go to for fuel issues with MU & PRV reconditioning

hi Kev, it was easier for me to just use them in all 6 so I don't have to remember what's what... ;-)

Hi Pete, welcome to our group! I've mostly solved this with our Metering Unit being refurbished, 50+ year old injectors rebuilt, and changing to a hotter spark plug. The former to improve fueling didn't reduce fumes but the latter made a significant change in fumes(according to wife and granddaughters). Doesn't cost a lot to have the MU refurbished, though a set of plugs is a very affordable test. NGK6511 NGK Spark plug BP5ES are the ones I use, don't buy from Fleabay -- get them from https://www.sparkplugs.co.uk/ for about £2.30/each and buy a spare to keep in the boot. Also make su

Some things I'd recommend: Treat yourself & your TR 6 to a CTEK trickle charger: https://www.ctek.com/uk/battery-chargers-12v-24v/mxs-5-0-uk Add the 2nd bonnet release cable! Keep a handful of tools (slot & x screwdriver, wire brush, 10/12mm spanners, sparkplug socket, spare injector, spare socket) plus some bulbs in car boot Replace all exterior lights with LED lights to make your car much more visible: https://www.classiccarleds.co.uk/ Keep a small bottle of oil & brake fluid, small fire extingisher in the car

I’ve had a cheap Halfords charger for years when we had our Caterham. When we replaced it with the TR6 I bought a CTEK and now wonder why I didn’t spend a bit more years ago. It’s very reasonable and the automatic trickle charge / battery refresh cycles all the time. Doesn’t consume much AC power either https://www.ctek.com/uk/battery-chargers-12v-24v/mxs-5-0-uk

Don't worry dears, Historic/Vintage cars are not taxed in ULEZ zones. So drive in them with immunity and park just outside of them.

I wonder if the MT has complied with the new Online Safety Act and completed an evaluation? The Act has quite some ££ teeth to it for non-compliance and is mandatory for all online services/forums + Apps: https://www.ofcom.org.uk/online-safety/illegal-and-harmful-content/check/

Bob, you might look at VW thermostats as a possible source. I had a Caterham K-series engine in our last car and due to the block construction, smart owners would (like me!) installed 80C thermostats vs. 92C ones to make the engines run cooler. My VW 'stat had a bleed pinhole if that's what you're looking for?

Thanks all, I’ll be on the phone tomorrow morning!
