I have a Redtop in my Westfield, 201bhp on R1 carbs, with a few more tweaks to the head and block. Always on a track somewhere but not recently for obvious reasons.
All very true and my mum drove until 88 before the cost was unaffordable, she could have carried on for no more than another year before a reactions would be too slow. It’s something that needs to discussed in the family.
Probably stretching the range of a scooter of course, but it’s about time your dad visited his mum now more often. Soon nan won’t be able to keep her own anyway due to cost or age, it’s inevitable. All families have this dilemma including me and now you.
Unfortunately premiums do rocket for the 80+. Once my mum reached 90 the premium was up to £800 so she ditched the car( not literally) and bought a mobility scooter to do her shopping and visit her mates. She loves it in the summer but not so much in the winter when I do her shopping. If you...
You can also re-plate the trailer weight lower than the manufactures recommendation. Just find out the racecar weight and allow for wheels and full Jerry cans that will be carried on the trailer. Buy a new chassis plate and have it engraved/stamped with the new max capacity, it’s completely...
Ha ha I used work for BT, your right a load of c***s.
As for the OP- cancel the existing package and phone them to start another the day the previous package is turned off. You’ll probably get a phone call from them a couple of days after your cancellation anyway, persuading you to stay...
Spray some WD40 on one pulley at a time whilst the engine is running, see if the noise disappears. Then try spraying on the aux belt. Should help diagnose.
Not going to be sub £25k I reckon, A fully specced up normal I30 can be over £21k. They are already in Golf and A3 territory pricewise. Nevertheless it will make a change from the usual low power petrol Hyundais that are popular with the pensioner brigade who buy them cause, "it will see...
If it is a Fakra plug you can buy replacements https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2047675.m570.l1311.R7.TR12.TRC2.A0.H2.XFakra.TRS0&_nkw=fakra+connector&_sacat=0
+ earth went in the early '60's they are all - earth these days.
For LED indicator bulbs any Generic flasher will do but pay attention to the pin layout labelling, there are a few different versions and some can be swapped around by your good self, fiddly but it can be done. You can buy...
I wouldn't get too hung up on the lower bhp of some off these older V8's, it's the torque that counts and V8's do have a lot more than the 4potters. For instance my friends Westfield P5B V8 is 160bhp and my Westfield 4pot is 225bhp, he beats me away from the lights and I can't keep up...
