A question from someone who hates anything electrical on cars. What are they like to wire in?

Morrisons supermarket is a typical example of US private equity companies. They borrow money to fund the buy out and then sell assets and load their debt onto the company they have bought, Last year, Morrisons finance costs were £735m – up from £593m the year before. About £400m of that reflected annual interest payments on the grocer's borrowings, which stood at £5.4bn.

My 250 which was one of the last made has a j type over drive. overdrive on 3&4 dont know if this was a later replacement but its very smooth.

Yep that's the one.

Thanks for the info guys. I had to tsake both manifolds off as it has a sports exhaust. Working on mty back I managed to get the starter off, the top bolt was a bit tricky but and slow but I managed. The problem with the old starter is that the split pin has dissapeared from the end and the large spring is missing, I assume its dropped into the bell housing. although the engine turns freely I suspect its and engine out job to retieve it. meanwhile I will look for a second hand starter motor. I intend to give the engine an overhaul late summer but the boss wants to go to the "heartbeat" rally

I have a 57 3A with a lazy starter. not sure which type it is. Do the high torque starter motors fit any model and if so what sort of a job is it changing over?

The old one wasnt, but it goes to show what pressure gauges tell you is not exactly accurate.

I fit a nice new dash to my 250 and decided to change the oil pressure gauge as it was a tatty. I bought a good second hand one. The car has a recon engine and goes well. The old gauge used to read a little high. 100 psi on start up settling to 75 psi running and 50 psi on tick over. The fresh gauge reads 65psi on start up settling to 50 psi running and 25 psi ticking over.

Yes I fit a new rubber and trim to my TR250. They work on most cars with a rubber trim. Fit the windscreen first and then feend the silver trim in with the tool, I use washing up liquid to help.
