Re: Richard Clements 827Si - image heavy

I never got around to taking many photos of the snow and ice - I should have taken some of the canals and lakes/ponds all frozen up around here.

Re: A bit late...

2 litre 4 cylinder models are much more reliable than the smaller engined cars. The 1.1, 1.4, 1.6 and 1.8 engines are the Rover K series and are very prone to headgasket failures. The 220, 420, 620 turbo and 820 are all powered by the 2 litre Rover T series engine and this is pretty much bombproof. ...

A great many clubs now offer two levels of subscription - one for a paper magazine and a lower one for internet only. Internet subscriptions are perfect for overseas members as they get the magazine at the same time as everyone else (indeed, ahead of UK postal deliveries) and it's easier to store! A...

Re: Parts for Series 1

All fastback seals will be the same regardless of the age of the car. Rimmer Brothers may do them but I generally expect them to be expensive.

Car Builder Solutions also stock universal seals: http://www.nfauto.co.uk/ - look under "trim".

Belay that - I'm an eejit! I hadn't picked up on the recent appearance of the "view unread posts" button in the space previously occupied by the "view new posts" button (and therefore was clicking the wrong button!).

Re: Richard Moss's 1990 Sterling

I finally got round to changing the steering rack on this today - what a complete s*** of a job it is! The workshop manual forgets to tell you that you need to undo the gearbox support member and gearchange linkage yet does tell you to remove the exhaust downpipe - which is less restrictive. Anyway,...
