. That was a year that was.. This was the year in which Sir Winston Churchill’s funeral took place in London. The same year, Lyndon Baines Johnson had been sworn in as President of the United States following the assassination of John F. Kennedy (an event which had occurred some 14 months earlier). Stanley Mathews played in his last 1st division game, and the unmanned lunar space probe Ranger-8 crashed onto the moon. The USA sent their first 3,500 combat troops to Vietnam and instigates Rolling Thunder (almost 3-years of sustained aerial bombing). While back home in

Since fitting the vinyl hood a number of years ago it appears to have shrunk although it was tight from the beginning. It is very difficult to get the hood catches to engage and lock, very difficult in the cold weather, In the hot weather it is easier. I have left the hood up for a while now in the hope it will stretch. Can anyone recommend a way of making it stretch permanently. Thanks Alan.

What kind of noise or symptoms would I expect to get if a big end or little end has worn? My 4A engine has developed a noise despite no change in any performance, tickover, running etc or drop in oil pressure or oil usage.

If replacing the long bolt on the water pump assembly with a 3” stud to ease future removal is there a recommended method to fit it? I assume it can be screwed into the block through the pump body with the body not removed from the block? Is the stud loctited into the block?

My previous TR3a and my newly bought TR4a have overdrive on 2/3/4. Can anyone refer me to an idiots guide on how to make proper use of it. On my TR3 I only used it in overdrive top, as a fifth gear, and so far the same with the 4a. Quite honestly I cant see much point in overdrive 2 and 3 due to the constant in and out of overdrive and normal gears. As it is I sometimes forget that the car is in overdrive top when changing down to third. Please be gentle with your replies! Richard

Hi I know this may not be for this forum but it is a TR4A?? I met the original owner of NJH 777D (Picture attached) Does anyone know where it is? Who owns it? Is it for sale? I met the original owner today and at 77 years old he is quite keen to be reunited with his car. He is still fixing cars and makes an amazing job of them. Would be great to get them reunited. Best Paul.

Hi All I was wondering what people thoughts were on lightening the flywheel of my 4A. Currently the flywheel, including ring gear, is approx. 23 lbs. I'm not looking to go down the competition route so don't need to get it down to a couple of lbs. However, it would be nice to try and increase the responsivness of the car, but not sacrafice the tick over at idle. Is there an ideal amount to shave off or is it better to leave it stock? Any thoughts or suggestions would be welcome. Thanks Adam

Hello Has anyone had a Cobra 8510 immobiliser fitted to their TR4a ? I could use some help regarding connecting it up. The basing wiring looks fairly straightforward (!) and I can see how to connect the immobiliser No1 to the ignition. But the Cobra 8510 has immobiliser No2 wires, which I assume would be used for an electric fuel pump. My TR4a still has the mechanical fuel pump, so I am not sure what to do with the Immobiliser No2 wires. Any suggestions? So far I think my options are: 1. Fit an Fuel cut off switch upstream to the fuel pump and connect up to the Immobilizer No2 2. Use the imm

Hello (again) All I have a choice between putting in a J-Type or A-Type overdrive in my restoration project. I was just wondering what peoples thoughts on are this are. I know the A-Type is the correct OD, but is the J-Type a better unit to have? I will keep both units with the car so the next owner (if I ever do sell it!) can change it if they so wish. I have heard that the J-type is the better one to have in your car and use; the A-type can be slower to engage/disengage as well as being more tempremental. Of course, the J-type will give a higher drop in RPM, but I'm guessing going fr

I'm about to embark on a full rebuild of a 4A - having done the same to a 4 a few years ago, I know my way around pretty well, but have had no experience of the IRS rear end, so would appreciate any tips and advice from the cognoscenti here on the Forum. The IRS parts I got with the car appear complete, but they were stripped off the chassis and were then sandblasted without any further dismantling - ie the trailing arms are complete with the hubs, driveshafts and UJs. As part of the rebuild, Iaim to strip these right down and check for any wear in the UJs, splines, and wheel bearings

Hi, I've just spotted a pair of MX-5 seats going on the cheap on a local classified website. Could anyone ID whether this model on the pic has the speakers in the headrests ? Difficult to judge with the fabric cover... Thanks Edit: After googling it seems like yes: the zip around the headrest is for the speakers cover.

Someone actually had the nerve to cut out the grill in this car I purchased to mount driving lights. I have a new grill and lights I plan to mount however after looking at many cars it looks as though most have drilled holes and mounted to the top of the bumper. I know this requires flipping the lights forward before opening the hood. Is this the best way or are there clamps that I swear I have seen somewhere online.

Can anyone help me. The Overdrive switch on my Tr4A appears to work upside down, operating upwards to engage when all other cars I have 'surveyed' it's (logically) down. It does not appear possible for the switch itself to be inverted as it is dog-legged. The switch operates a relay, which in turn operates the overdrive solenoid. I have checked the wiring diagram and cannot see that inverting the switch wires can make any difference. Does anyone know what is needed to remedy. Thanks, Hande
