Six Cylinders Motoring Notes - Carlton Estate back in use!


Recommended Posts

Anybody have any experience of this type of cheap tachometer that simply has a wire wraps round an HT lead?

I would like to know what the engine revs are on the Rolls Royce and this was cheap and looks simple to fit.

I may just use it to understand how hard I am revving it and then take it off again because it will look so out of place.

No, but they were a thing BITD. When I retire I want to move near you.

Similar, but ours is a 5 door.

A small win today!

A local village Facebook group offered a pair of free Osram H4 Night Breakers bulbs and I was there.

Turns out they had been bought in error for a Volvo V70  and were no longer wanted. I had seen this V70 around the area for years but he had no time to talk cars with me.

Another win this evening!

My Carlton Estate has been out of service because I could not open the drivers door from the outside or inside.

This evening @ianbmw came over and teased off the top of the door panel and managed to open the door. Instead of broken bits I was expecting he found the mechanism was seized. A good dose of WD40 and working the lock and door pull and it was free again. All greased and back together now.
