My 3A engine needs an overhaul. The manual shows the engine and gearbox removed together. Is it viable to just remove the engine? Space is limited and I dont particularly want the gearbox out on the garage floor.

Has any one tried EBC GREEN STUFF BRAKE PADS. Are they any better than standard mintex?.

The speedo on my TR250 requires recalibration, at @60mph it reads nearer 75MPH. Could any one recommend a company that does this service? in advance.

I too prefer a soft top. I always find removing a refitting the soft top on my surry a real pain.

When I had a tube type puncture on my Land Rover none of the main tyre services would touch it. I was told on three ocasions they do not do tube type punctures anymore.

I have 165 80 15 on mine but I put a narrower tyre on the spare and it slides in nicely. As someone commented its probably not legal but will get me out of trouble if I have a puncture. I cannot see any difference between this and the modern space saver spare wheels.

Back in 1996 I lived in Bulgaria. The mafia had quite a few protection rackets going. When the Government cracked down, miraculously the protection rackets became insurance companies.

My PCV valve has lost its top and innards. Has any one a complete second hand one for sale.?

Hi Peter Its item 83, all I need is the end part that screws on to the rod. I know the complete rod is not expensive but it seems unneccessary when all that is needed is one end.

I need a new end for the long throttle link rod on my4A, does any one supply them or do you have to buy the complete rod?

What would be the difference between a European TR5 converted to right and drive and a 250 converted to right hand drive and with lucas fuel injection? Apart from chassis numbers.

I am not saying it wasnt. But the because of fuss created on this forum the vender had to withdraw from the auction.

You obviously have not been to skye recently.

0 Look up XYY332F this was a 250 that went through a restoration in the early 2000s when it "miraculously it gained the injection system and the TR5 name badges". However when it went to Barons auction the owner never claimed it was a 5 and the auction clearly stated it was a 250. There was a lot of fuss on this forum at the time, the car was withdrawn. The car had MoTs going back to 2004 and was registered in the UK when new. A few years later the owner listed it on ebay and I bought it. It is a very nice car bought at a 250 price and yes it has been rebadged as a 250.
