Nigel Carine Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Deeply ashamed!!!!!!! Renewed insurance today and the mileage on the 6 was 60127. Checked last years renewal and the mileage was.......60127. RIGHT THAT'S IT. Must sort out those squealing brakes, everything replaced and they still whine. Been asked not to take it out on club runs as every-one is embarrassed. The overdrive takes about three hours to kick in when hot, oil changed, now need to change the relay clean up all the lecky contacts. Bought the new foam for the seats (each time we get in it we have to hoover the crumbles up) 12 months ago. I must be very nice to the gracious lady and request humbly for assistance. On second thoughts by the time I have done the washing and ironing, hovered the house, mopped the floors, walked the dog, made dinner, cleaned the windows (She only asked me to do them at Xmas.....2013) I'm not sure I will have the time. Do you think I can get a rebate on the insurance if I don't take it out for another 12 months? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ghianightmare Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 This weekend I will mostly be Clay barring and Polishing swirl marks out of the paint... I find it therapeutic and it makes the car look fabulous. Takes ages though so I wil get about half the bonnet done before I get summons back into the house. For anyone that has never clay barred a car before - do it. Look it up on YouTube and buy a bar. It will remove tar and **** in seconds. You will never bother with Tar remover liquids again. I did my Discovery 3 last summer and it looked like a new car after. Paint as smooth as a baby's bottom. A good polish afterwards and a final seal and dirt will wash off much more easily in the future. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kiwifrog Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) Well done Alan your welding skills have come on well whilst doing yours then. Stuart. Thanks Stuart I have been having lessons with a retired coachbuilder for the last year, I am beginning to get used to the english wheel however so far have not mastered the art of welding aluminium with oxy acetelyne. But-welding sheet steel is a bit easier but not much. Mention mig or tig and Peter goes off of his nut cheers Alan Edited March 3, 2015 by Kiwifrog Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Crawfie Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 This weekend, I am informed, I will mostly be finding the lawn mower and coaxing it into life ! God.....not that time again already !!!! After a winter up here on Dartmoor, my garden looks like a battlefield. It also likes like a mole has taken up residence. Time to deploy my cat, Buffy The Mole Slayer. So far she's got 5 of the buggers over the years !! TR6 wise, if the weather holds, time to take the plugs out, squirt some oil in and fire up the beasty. First run if the year !!

Kiwifrog Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Beautiful blue skies and 19°C here today. Got a chance to balance and set up my brand new NOS hs6 carbs origonally set up for a Austin Allegro 1750 that I bought cheap on ebay.I guess listing things as allegro spares has that effect Changed the needles and springs blocked up various extra connections modified the accelerator linkage and away she went, very smooth when correctly balanced and left a few moderns looking surprised on the bypass. Next weekend I ought to fix the speedometer as the flash from the speed camera was really quite blinding! :ph34r: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
