I agree with Bobbo. I have several classic car policies in the UK which follow the same process. When renewing, it is always worthwhile to ask if an increase of agreed value is available. Sometimes this is allowed without an increase to the premium! Years ago, it was necessary to pay for an independ...

How did you find out about that, Superman? Was it sold in the same condition as it was when we discussed it previously, or was it restored? Do you know if the “new interior” was ever completed? Any idea of the sale price?

So do I. When the scrap price goes up again, I’ll weigh them in

I don't ever recall seeing anything about this particular car before! Pricey, but pretty low mileage.

Maybe somewhat less than 4.3 mm could be removed to get a 16” tyre to fit. Surely, there must be a little “flexibility” built into modern tyres - especially the cheaper brands? Any thoughts on the structural integrity of the wheel if material was to be removed? Maybe you could sacrifice a wheel ( w...

Thanks mate, it does, but the bad news is the seller seems to have sold the vehicle...

Keep looking......

Hi Rob,

My car does not have those and as far as I am aware, no UK-supplied cars did. Hope this helps.

Paul.

I nearly had a heart attack there! I own 8186873!

You have a UK car. I tried several decoders which used to be reliable and showed option codes, but none seem to work any more

most 265s go for $1000 + in good condition.

Surely depends upon whether its a 265/5 or 265/6?

December 2016. I wonder if the asking price has been reduced if it is the same vendor

I bought what I thought could have been a "Hallmark" many years ago with an engine that was not running. It had been parked in a lock-up for a long time. Eventually, after much time spent trying to loosen it off, I found out why...................................

I suggest you remove the head

IIRC, this one was up for sale years ago and we had a chat about it

I would have thought the battery should be fine to start the car. I’ll be dismantling a 628 CSiA shortly, so if you need any parts, give me a shout.

Are you from the uk?

Absolutely

The post is nearly 4 years old. I would PM Ben, he may not be current on the site. There has been discussion on this board, in the past, as to the quality of these repair sections. Some say that the quality of the stampings is not so good and the dies are worn out. The fact of the matter is that un...

You could try changing the temperature sending unit with a known-good one to be sure that the gauge is reading true.

If you have the address why not do the “old fashioned” thing and write them a recorded delivery letter. If it is delivered and you get no response, you’ll know they are not interested. If it’s returned to you, you’ll know they are no longer trading. You could say that if you have to resort to these...

I’m following this thread with interest!

Yes, that’s a locking bolt with the lock removed. Just remove it. I’m surprised that you only have one on the car!

Hi Greg, Those water deflectors are very rare. I’ve only ever had one out of 20+ E24s I’ve owned over the years. IMO, the reason for your leak is the hole through the firewall which takes the main wiring harness. The sealant often dries out and allows water through. Re-seal it and it should fix your...

Wow! What a great find. Good luck with getting it working.

What a great idea! Some 30 years ago I had to get my Corvette into the garage (up a slope). I came up with the idea of setting an anchor into the garage floor and pulling the car up with a cheap block and tackle. Took ages and totally knackered me! I don’t recall if cheap 12v winches were readily av...
