Hi Simon I have just fitted this pipe to my 2500TC engine which I am rebuilding. I got it from Chris. You will more than likely need to cut it down slightly. It’s not a fault as such but as you will probably find out, the engine for our cars is fitted to a few other models such as the TR range so I ...

Thanks Johnnydog, I had spotted most of those. Strange about the Pi expansion tank! I think we will pass on this one.

Anyone know anything about this car? MWB 941P. Is it known to anyone? Looks good on the photos. My mate is interested but not at that price.

It’s disappointing to see the amount of spare parts & bits for sale on sites such as eBay that go unsold. Some are offering them for free. It’s a pity the club can’t get these and store them.

It has good compression and s...

I am tempted to have a go myself at getting them apart. That’s for a quiet day job. At the moment it’s full on with the engine rebuild which is p...

Managed to get a brief run out yesterday afternoon on dry roads. All performed well and an inspection underneath revealed all ok.
Engine rebuild is underway with everything now cleaned and waiting for a slot at the machine shop.

I have today finished fitting 2 new driveshafts complete with new uj’s & hubs. I decided to bite the bullet and do both. I am informed they have an upgraded outer axle assembly. I would have liked to have had the CV joint set up but all seems well with what I have. I part exchanged a pair of old hub...
