Hi Dave, this is how I would do it. clean the plugs Run the car on the drive way at 2000+rpm for 10+ minutes Keep the revs going and then kill the ignition - Do NOT let the rev fall below 2000 with ignition ON. This will reduce any sooting from the tick over mixture. Roger

Hi Rob, I've been to a couple of shows recently (Harpenden Herts. yesterday) and a good number of people stopped to chat but had no intention of buying. There was one chap towards the end that seemed keen and took one of my flyers with him. Will he follow it up !!!!!! Roger

I popped along to the Harpenden (Herts) Classics on the Common today. There were many many top quality cars (and Bikes) This one took my fancy. Ford Zephyr LHD with Candy Apple Red paint (slight metallic) It was truly stunning in the flesh. Te paint was stunningly interesting in its cost - very very expansive from the USA Roger

Hi Paul PM sent Roger

Hi folks, I've just popped an ad in the Buy/Sell/Swap for Toyo tyres and wire wheels Also posted ion the classified Ad's Roger

Hi folks the tyres have done 800 miles and have 8mm of tread The wheels are from 1962 and are in very good condition - they need a coat of silver paint These would complement any TR2,3,4 in a concourse show. The tyres are apprx £100 a corner. £120 for the 4 x wheels and 4 x tyres Collection from Hayes Near Heathrow Airport. Roger

Hi Steve, welcome to the forum. Where abouts are you.? At the two rubber UJ's there should be a wire link to each side of the UJ At the rack this needs to be linked to earth/Chassis. So +12V goes to C2 on the relay C1 goes to the horn(s) which in turn go to earth When you press the steering wheel button you send the Relay coil W1 to earth Roger

Hi Folks, I have fitted the 1/2 shims with some goo to the 4A and thankfully the squeal has gone (again) Only a couiple of miles riun but they felt good. Interestingly when fitting the shims I noticed some rubbing marks on the front and rear edge of each pad. These were filed down and slipped in nicely in the caliper. It would be interesting to know what is actually squeaking. Roger

Good luck. Roger

Hi Gerard Welcome to the forum. Where abou'ts are you. The Rimmer repair panel looks very simple. If it is like other repair panels then the skin at the folded front edge probably will not be painted and so the rust will start immediately. Also does it only cover the are below the swage line. I replaced both mine on the TR4. I reused the inner baffles after rust removal. I did the repair in two sections - the upper curved area down to the swage. The lower flatter area below the swage down to the complex curved are above the sill. Easy enough to fold the front

I do have a set of those and will fit them tomorrow. Roger

The 3M BiggRed pads did not di=o0 the trick. So I shall e fitting tnhe above tomorrow. Roger

Aaaaaarrrrggghhhhhhh, aarrgghh. They are back. Took the car out for test run the first 4 miles were completely squeak free. Then, as if cursed, they came back Just like Arnnie bl**dy Schwarzenneger 'I'll e back' fame. I shall now install the 1/2 shims and the Pad Goo. Will it ever end I'll keep you posted. Roger

If it is an EBay item I would have thought that the supplier would jump into action. Complain direct top the seller. Roger

Hi Collin, the 4A chassis has only a lower T shirt panel. The TR6 has an upper and lower panel. Roger
