Thanks for the advice - bypassed the ballast resistor and things seem much better.

Re: Change Coil or junk ballast system?
Cheers - it's a 4.7 V8 (AMC) - but I almost never start it in winter, and when I do it seems to start fine so not too worried about cold starts. Also not my daily car so no need to worry about getting to work etc if it won't start. I already have a contactless (electronic) dizzy bought off a mate fo...

Change Coil or junk ballast system?
I am working my way through some of the previous owners (or maybe ones before) "updates" to my car. It's fitted with a resistance wire in the ignition feed (the pretty common ballast arrangement) to step down the voltage during running to about 7 volts (as measured by me on a multimeter).

Pitman arm rebuild
I have a Pitman arm with a balljoint on the business end that is worn out. The part is so rare as to be made from unobtainium - but others must need these kinds of things rebuilt or remanufactured. As so often with these things, Google is not my friend as any outfit that does this kind of work tends...

Re: Nitrile / Latex Gloves
Thanks all - especially Dave - I'd actually forgotten that I'd wanted some of those gloves I saw Ed China using since I first saw 'em. Ordered a pack.

Nitrile / Latex Gloves
I've been using Bodyguards Blue nitrile gloves bought from my local Motor Factors for ages, but they tear so easily I generally end up using two pairs at once, which is getting expensive. I like the hand protection and not having filthy nails - has anyone found any more durable ones?

Re: V5's and VINs for sale.
I have reported multiple obviously illegal listings and had so many ignored I've almost given up. I suspect (but can't prove) that items are less likely to get removed when there are significant bids on them - no doubt this would be strongly denied. The most recent example I (and several others) rep...
