Dave. Unlike the sud. The 33 didn’t have an outer lower panel on the back. It’s all covered by the plastic bumpers.

For sale. 18” jetfins Originally from a 3.2 GT k hade these on my spider. As mentioned in my spider thread I’ve fitted koni struts and these no longer fit due to a lower spring pan. I’ve decide to settle for 17” so I’m selling these. Will fit 164, 166 ,156, 147 and GT £500 P.s I do have some centre ...

Hi again Lauren. I’ve just checked and whilst both tools look similar they’re actually different thicknesses.

I’ve got that fiat tool aswell

I’ve got that one . I’ve also got this one which I seem to remember being the correct one. I can’t just put my hand on the other one so I’ll have to dig it out

Hi Lauren.
Let me have a look I may be able to
Lend you the correct tool. It’s like a curly cam bucket depressing snail hook type thing I’ll
Post a photo tomorrow

I reckon the Cot10. may do the trick. I’d use 3-4 of them it’d be dead easy to just bolt them in a line the other thing is if one went bad you could just fit a new one. As they are only 35mm deep You may need to fit a shim or two to ensure is the height between the upper and lower plates matches the...

The only problem with that Dave is if you bolt the top and bottom plates together you’re actually making a solid mount !
Ok on a race car but suboptimal on a nice restored road car

Thanks for those words of wisdom Dave. Sadly I have to dissagree with you on the Maserati =reliability front. And sadly the Skoda isn’t going to go on forever. It’s now at 120k miles and is starting to give us a few issues Don’t get me wrong it’s nothing disastrous which is why we’re considering kee...

For what it’s worth I would always fit Valve stem seals on the inlets.

Hi Guys Thanks for all your feedback and opinions all very welcome and points duly noted. Sadly I feel that no matter what manufacturer we go for some element of “cheapo” build quality on significant components will be evident. I think this is more or less the way things are designed and manufacture...

Hi Tim in a nutshell the thing that’s put us off BMWs both 3 and 5. Is the tech. And also the fact that on cars at similar price points you get a pile more tech and toys on the Merc. The C class has recently had a facelift and the interiors are much improved and they make almost everything else look...

We are hoping to keep the Skoda. We’ll most likely be trading the Porsche in

I wouldn’t have a Range Rover if they begged me today we’ve whittled the list down a bit. Eliminated so far 5 series Volvo Tonale Mustang Kia stinger Jaaaaaaag. XE Still to be assessed are Alfa Stelvio , Giulia Probably excluded the QV due to running costs and 19 MPG So far the 2023 Merc C class AMG...

Thanks chaps for all your advice and valued opinions. List of potentials as follows BMW 3-5 series Mercedes C class Merc GLA Alfa Giulia Veloce Alfa Giulia QV Alfa Stelvio Alfa Tonale Kia Stinger Jag XE Volvo XC 60/90 New Skoda. Octavia Skoda 4wd silly name things (Old one been so good we have to co...

Thanks Tim. We’re looking at something 1-2 yrs old and really fancy a Giulia obviously I’d like to service it myself and if I can get the relevant info that doesn’t phase me. We’ve decided to let the Porsche go as it rarely get any use. We’ll be keeping the Skoda for local runs and trips to the Tip ...

Quickie for all members. I’m currently in the market for a new daily driver. So far The short list includes an Alfa Giulia. We would like a QV but that maybe wishful thinking. (But not out of the question) The most likely choice would be a Veloce 2.0 turbo. Apparently these are a 2.0 4cyl 16v turbo....

Hi Lauren. Sadly I believe the airport has been discontinued by Cibie for some time. Shame really As you say theyre a good looking little lamp

Funny you should mention that Shrew. I’m actually thinking of reworking the 1500 (1525) I built in to a 1600. It’ll actually be 1634 as the 1500 is 85mm (1 mm OS)

Hi Tony. From my rapidly fading memory the most often fitted to UK market cars were indeed Bosch. I’ve got a pair of Cibie Airport to put on mine.

Andrew. I agree with John on the “free gratis” front. Surely it’s worth a cheeky EBay listing. You should get a decent price for it And certainly too good to break for parts

Hi Andrew. So sorry to hear about your situation. Can you post some pictures etc. regards. Louise

Hi Keith. That photo was on the entry to copse at silverstone it probably the 1975/6 international tourist trophy event I say that because we’re could remove the bumpers and run bigger wheels than the regular touring car championship. I was at that event but only been about 10/11 yo but that didn’t ...

Thanks Tim Great bit of nostalgia thanks for posting. I remember the #75 Sud well. I believe it would be circa 1975 that car was one of the first Suds to be prepared. Dad regularly came home in it even when fully caged and stripped out as regs allowed. And I was often dropped off at school in it com...

That is good news. Ade

Sorry the delay in checking Ade. I’ll have a butchers in my cupboard after lunch

I might have some
