Re: Same clutch problems again!
I had this problem in an extreme form in my previous Mark 1, about 4 years ago. About a month after fitting a new clutch, it suddenly started behaving as if it only had two positions, on and off. The clutch release felt like one of those jam jar tops that pop in and out. At that time no one else app...

Born again member
Hello, I'm a previous member, just returning. I owned my previous Mark 1 for 10 years, keeping it going with filler and good luck, until finally rust overtook it three years ago. It has been sitting in the wood since then, and I have been resisting family nagging to get rid of it. But now I am the p...

Complete Mark 1 for spares
1964 Mark 1 in burgundy red. I ran this car daily for 10 years until it failed the MOT 2 years ago, mostly on rust. I had been keeping it for spares intending to get another good one, but somehow that project has faded and now I am getting keen on a Series II LandRover. Anyway, the complete car must...

Thanks everyone for your encouraging replies.<br> I am half tempted to go down the route of challenging the MOT, or at least trying another garage. But if it still fails that\'s another 50 quid, and of course under the new system the second tester will see the verdict of the first, and be aware that...

Well, it has happened. Just a month after contributing my bit to the letter in Sixappeal on this subject, my car has unexpectedly failed the MOT on a long list of faults, many of them terminal.<br> Basically the tester found, presumably by tapping or using some special electronic device, that all th...

Just having an accurate picture in your mind of the exact location of the inside rear wheel is important. This might be the rear edge of the window vertical perhaps, or you could put a sticker on I suppose. Anyway, that is the crucial spot to keep in mind, because the inside rear wheel determines th...

How can you tell just by looking at it what degree of advance it has? Doesn\'t that depend on the strength of the springs?<br> <br> I vaguely remember an article in SixAppeal years ago when leaded petrol was on its way out that unleaded petrol, apart from the usual issues of lack of octane and valve...

Gearboxes always make a certain amount of shhhh noise anyway, but normally this is masked by the gearlever boot and the associated padding round the top of the transmission tunnel. Even the smallest leak will let a surprising amount of noise through - try pinching the rubber a bit while driving and ...
