Look with your eyes, NOT your fingers......!

Then, once fixed, consider 'improvement'??

Or when had a 'bound and gagged' but 'unwillingly placed' bloke in the boot!!!

Should still turn over, even if the Inertia switch has failed. You just get no fuel (ask how I know.......!)

The last time I needed some mixed, I took the boot lid in to the paint supplier (easiest panel to transport) and they mixed to match the actual colour. Not a lot of trouble, and gave a good result. The nice part, is that if I need more, they/I have now got the mix code.

Chris, if you can, get the car colour scanned using a Spectro (as per Richard above) in several places, and have your new paint mixed/coded to the average. Many of these cars now are a) not the colour they left the assembly line, due to fade etc, and b) a patchwork of previous repairs/touch-ups etc I have always viewed "British Racing Green" in the same vein as 'Hoover'.......

I have a pair of 'bus ticket clippers' (not sure what they would really be called). They produce a 'chad' about 6mm wide x 10mm deep (more likely 1/4" x 3/8" as they are old. Nice thing is, you can, and I have, taken them apart and given them a sharpen on a stone. Also useful for trimming rubber/leather etc, for any fetishists out there.....!!

If you have a compressor, use an air chisel with a planishing type type/headed tool, running round and round the head/joint. The vibration seems to shake the stuck items apart, I found better than single blows with a mallet/copper hammer.

Hi Pete. Welcome aboard! There are many threads on the forums about this, do some searching and you will find them. PI cars can tend to run a little rich, and I did (sometimes) get a whiff with the roof down, particularly if dawdling along in traffic. Agree with Ed, standard exhaust is better, mine was worse for fumes with a twin single pipes system.

No, that is just to get your email details, so they can 'bother' you like all the rest.......... Once you are buying, it (sometimes) is a little easier??, but I feel it is mainly for the Marketing team!

I was hoping they would put a WOSP starter for a Stag on for a Fiver, but no joy........ Also looking at Pertronix Ignitor ignition for a V8, but again........

I have what is (probably) same/ similar previous model. Well made, got it on 'special offer' some time ago, wish I'd bought two! I like the fact that it is also a 'torch', rather than just a flood light. My only gripes are charging time (should've bought two!) and just how much 'nastiness' the magnets find and threaten your paintwork with!!!

Which (unfortunately) makes it a bit of a 'balancing act' for (some/many) of us. 4 people in the modern wagon, so 8 x breakfasts, 8 x lunches, 8 x coffees and beers, 2 x programmes, assorted gift shop purchases (drinking coffee from my 'Donington Circuit' mug as I type) Vs 1 x 50% 'discounted bloke' in a TR6, too broke from paying for all the petrol and camping etc, and too knackered from the drive to enjoy any lunch etc..... I realise this is not always 'simple' but perhaps some 'broader thinking' might be a sensible approach.......? Also, "just asking"......

Does the 50% discount require you to attend in your TR and park in the club section?? I have been for the last few (3) years, but have to travel in the modern metal, as there are 3/4 of us, plus camping gear, so a bit of a stretch for the TR6!! However, it is a very good event!

Roger, TOP WORK! Lets hope, that from your first post on the project, you "made a few quid".... (even if only in a parallel universe!) One door closes, as they say.......
