Hello Dion, <br> <br> the habit of keeping your foot on the footbrake at rest is a common, but rather aggravating habit, especially in the rain or dark as it is very dazzling for drivers behind you. Not only that, it is the cause of warping of discs, if the brakes are hot, as the pads soak heat from...

Hello all, <br> <br> I recently had a front wheel vibration after having two new front tyres fitted and balanced. I had sworn never to use this particular nationwide chain, who shall be nameless but they can\'t spell \'quick\'. In a momemtary lapse, and because they are virtually next door I had two...

Hello Brian, <br> <br> the danger is that if you have full alternator output passing through the ammeter for too long it may burn out and this would leave you without any battery charge and possibly no warning of it. It would read in reverse as you had it, i.e. discharge is actually charge.<br> I wo...

Hello Brian, <br> <br> I have an alternator on my MK 1 and halogen lamps of the standard rating. This works fine, but I have virtually totally rewired the car, i.e I did not modify the original wiring by-passing the regulator. <br> There should be ample capacity with 34 amps, but can you do a voltag...

Hello Steve, <br> <br> have you got a TR6 engine, and is it from an injection model?. If so you might get some pinking etc on carburettors but it should run well. The clutch will be OK, but it is worth putting in a new unit when you do the swap. The problems you describe seems to be poor release rat...

Hello Dion, <br> I think that there is enough room forward of the \'A\' post but maybe not for 13\" diameter speakers. Also, bear in mind the area of the front wing (which is where they will poke into) has water channeled into it from the drain at the base of the screen.That won\'t do them any good ...

Hello Brian, <br> <br> with the main beams on you are using (theoretically) 210 watts, 17.5 amps of the dynamo\'s 26. That doesn\'t leave much for the rest of the loads especially in winter, heater, wipers for example.<br> I would suggest replacing the bullet connector outer sleeves as well, althoug...
