Six Cylinders Motoring Notes - One came home today!

[Noel Tidybeard]

As much as zxs are excellent work horses, if it was parked next to a Daimler on my drive it'd never get used!

 

not true it would get used every ftp of the bl tin!

[Guest Breadvan72]

I quite like that but still a Miss!

 

 

OK, try a more upmarket version of beigeness.

Oof

[Guest Breadvan72]

Bilge green seats are très now on the Autoshite.

 

[Junkman]

Mine had the same colour combo, but was a 4 door GL with the 1.6 85 PS engine.

Went like fook.

Using a hoover on the carpet was a bit like grooming a lawn.

 

I bet that was very helpful now.

Interesting but have you seen the price!

[Guest Breadvan72]

It struck me as being on the full side.

 

Try tartan seats instead -

Forget all these silly suggestions and buy a Maxi. It will inevitably happen sooner or later and ours is getting lonely so it would like another local one for company

[Guest Breadvan72]

I like TR7s and remember sitting in one when they were first at a Motor Show.

 

50s car good to look at particularly the Jowett Javalin, I have got very close to buying one of those but not much else of the 50s is for me.

My Granddad had several Austin 1800s so I think that would temp me more.

[Guest Breadvan72]

Try another Daimler.  This does look good close up, in a lovely colour, square headlamps notwithstanding, and I am mucho tempted, but I have a tax bill to pay.

PS:  I assume that the Leaper is well wrong for a Daimler.

It appears to be a Daimler "D" if you zoom in. Looks wrong though.

C15 back to work, this time to collect my new toolbox from Kiltox.

Surely your fleet needs a Royce?

I have been to collect some LNA parts from Leachibob104 today, great to meet you and the parts should help my LNA back to the road. Somehow it seemed appropriate to be loading them into a C15.

Interesting car, I don’t remember these at all was it ever sold new in the UK?

 

It is not really for me at BMW M3 money.

 

Are you trying to tempt me with the cars you fancy? I think you are going to have me profiled like the police have done for crimes to see what my next crime (car purchase) is going to be.

Having tried to buy an adaptor for the oil pressure sender on the Sovereign S2 for several months without success today I decided to repair the one I had. Helicoil and thread lock and seal seam to have sorted it. The oil pressure reads 60 PSi at ideal cold and 40 PSi hot and does not leak so I took the car for a test drive and it still seems to be oil tight.

 

When I showed pictures of the leak there was concern about how black the oil looked as it was supposed to be fresh oil, but the new comma 20/50 I put in does look a bit dull to start with. I wish you could still get Duckhams green oil today.

 

That was the good news, while the car has been standing the brakes seem to have gone soggy and you can pump the pedal up, another job to sort.

 

When I started motoring the process of doing a thread save would be difficult because I did not know what I was doing, but double knotting my arms while on tip toes to get to it was not a problem. Now I know perfectly how to do the job but being flexible enough to get at the job is hard work!
