Re: Ford Anglia 106e (LHD) Estate - Now in the USA!

Lovely looking job , shame only you and the mot tester will see it .. Corrected that for you. No vehicle inspections out here! No testing at all? I'll bet there's some real sheds on the road... heaven :thumbs: Not necessarily - remember that car wouldn't be tested here either, or at least it's not ...

Re: Old Practical Classics Magazines

Yeah, post up in the "for sale" section, I'd recommend making it clear that they are free though, I had many years of magazines and they ended up as pulp....

Re: Zel's Fleet Blog...Citroen, Mercedes, Sinclair & AC Model 70

Could I respectfully suggest that we keep discussion of the pandemic away from Zel's car blog thread? At least let's do it on an off-topic thread, or preferably not at all....

Cheers!

Re: What would you buy & why?

If you ever get to the stage of buying an XK8 that needs the headlining replacing (a common fault) I took mine to an excellent guy near Sandwich in Kent that did a brilliant job for a reasonable price, so let me know and I'll dig out the details. Cheers!

If you want to explore the option of a solid state regulator, I can strongly recommend this company: https://www.dynamoregulators.com/voltage-regulators.php He's more than happy to discuss requirements over the phone so you make sure you get the right one, I'd be surprised if they couldn't help.

What about looking for a solid-state regulator? We know how you love a bit of tech! ;)
Yes, I've used these before, one on my tractor (12V) and one on my Reliant Regal (6V) - both work brilliantly.

Re: I'm back! Ford Anglia 106e (Estate)

Great stuff, glad your diagnosis was right. Yeah, that water pump doesn't owe you anything does it? I know the feeling of having an old engine spewing out fluids, yesterday I got our old Morris Minor out for the first time this year, and it was squirting petrol out of a faulty pipe near the fuel pum...
