Six-cylinder Posted March 18 Author Posted March 18 After last weeks fail to fit new wipers to the Rolls Royce I have now drilled out the new clamping blocks. This was because the spindles are 1/4 inch and the new clamping blocks said fit 1/4 inch, but were only 6mm. @Slowsilver Dyslexic Viking, Popsicle, beko1987 and 1 other 4

Do you remember where you left it? I cable tied one in, but that eventually swapped the side repeater wiring. At least they're cheap.

Six-cylinder Posted March 18 Author Posted March 18 The case of the missing 2 pints! Tonight was not without hitch, I went to a Triumph Club meeting tonight 20 miles away in the Carlton Estate. The temp gauge read high, rising and falling on the way. Checking the radiator, it was hot but not boiling. Before I came home we checked the water level and found it to be 2 pints of water short. On the way home the temp gauge was steady and read a little low as usual. What happened to the missing 2 pints!
hairnet Posted March 18 Posted March 18 youre in the home counties maybe it wanted perrier or san pellegrino richardmorris 1
High Jetter Posted March 19 Posted March 19 The guy who owned the dealership who sold that new liked a few pints. Maybe a throwback? 😀
