Hi All,

as usual, I'm planning the 'East Midlands Area' Xmas meal, but as always, 
this is not limited to members in this area.

I'm aiming for Saturday 4th December and looking at the Chesterfield area, 
as we've got a number of members in Yorkshire/North Lincs interested in 
coming. 

I know Rissy & Leanne, and Mike Sumner and his partner Zoe can do that day,
so I'm just trying to gauge numbers on here so that when I book it, I can give a 
rough idea on numbers.

If you can let me know on here if you are interested in coming please.

Obviously, this is subject to any change in Covid Restrictions going forward.

***** UPDATE: WE WILL BE AT : BIG JIMS BBQ STEAKHOUSE, THANET STREET, CLAY CROSS, DERBYSHIRE S45 9JR *****

Ho Ho Ho.

Hi Everyone,

Currently trying to diagnose a faulty temp guage. Since I have had the car the temperature guage has been pointing straight up. I have read some threads on here talking about various temp guage issues to see if anyone else has had the same issues. Mine doesn’t seem to match what I have have read about. 

The guage points straight up and doesn’t move when the ignition is on or off. I read a thread about simply flicking the needle back to ‘reset’ it’s orientation. However, with the sender connected the needle  just rises slowly to 12 o clock and stays there. With the sender disconnected (bugger to get to) the needle (after being pushed back to 100) doesn’t rise. It is therefore the signal from the sender causing it to rise to 12 o clock. I have checked continuity from the sender wire and all ok. I have then jumped the sender wire (to the ground on the block) while not connected to the sender and the needle again rises to 12 o clock and doesn’t return. I have read on other posts that the needle should jump to 12 then return to its rest position when not provided with power. 

My thoughts are that the sender might be ok but I might replace for the sake of 17 quid from DGo. I am more worried about the guage although I have read a comforting statement on the forum that someone was yet to see a faulty guage. 

Can the guage ‘stick’ to stop it returning to its normal position? Is this something that can be free’d or lubricated from inside the binnacle?  I’m yet to go in there but is probably a job that needs to be tackled at some point! 

Thanks in advance for any suggestions or valuable insight. 

Jon.

Hi Everyone,

My car is now running with new exhaust fitted and governor replaced. I spent three weeks at a local mechanics getting these bits fitted (the exhaust in particular was a big job for me to attempt as my first task on the D).  While it was there he got the engine running the best he could and did a few repairs to get it through its MOT.  It has now passed and has arrived in my garage.  Plenty of bits to sort which I will be working through but the engine is still not running right and, frankly, I’m not sure where to start.

Please excuse me being a complete novice but I am willing to learn and do as much reading as I need to!  To my untrained eyes and ears….

The car starts easily whether hot or cold so does not appear to be any problems there.  When it has first started (from cold) it needs to warm up before it is ready to move and will stall otherwise.  Not sure if this is normal but does seem to be worse than I would expect.  As it is warming up it will stall if left unattended.

In addition the engine rocks at certain revs (and at idle) which the mechanic is convinced is a misfire (plugs all checked by him).  He was scaring me with talk of a full engine rebuild but I thought I would check with the experts here before start worrying about such a drastic solution.

Any initial thoughts on where I should start with this?  Things I can do to eliminate potential causes to try and narrow things down?

Any help is very gratefully received.

Jon

Good Morning, 
I am sending this email to see if your club would be interested in attending the Pageant of Transport car show in Weston-super-Mare in 2022 which sometimes is one of the biggest events to start of the year. 
The event is held annually over Easter weekend and is situated on the beach lawns in Weston-super-Mare right next to the seafront. The event is making its return on the 16th-17th April 2022 after being cancelled for the last two years due to Covid and for its return we want to make it as big of an event as possible. Traditionally it has been a show for classic cars but as its Pageant of Transport we would like to see a whole variety of transport options. Cars, motorbikes, tractors, lorries, buses & military vehicles. Anything of interest is certainly welcome. 
It is a charity event where all proceeds raised are provided to the Weston-super-Mare Sea Cadets. The Sea cadets are an organisation to design to help children learn and develop new skills both on and off the water, based on the traditions and customs which are used in the Royal Navy. Many cadets achieve qualifications which are both national and internationally recognised through a whole host of activities such as but not limited to sailing, kayaking, powerboating, mountain biking, rock climbing, flying and many, many more. 
If this would be an event that you club may be interested in attending then let me know and I will add you to the emailing list send updates on the upcoming event. 
Also if anybody is interested in learning anything more about the sea cadets let me know and I can get one of the staff members to provide you with more information. 
 
Kindest Regards 
George Kettleborough

Hi all, just pulled my Apparently non-working Craig radio from my D (lots of fun!) There is a nine pin plug, and there was a 12v supply going to the red wire. Anyone got a diagram showing the details of the 9-pin plug, by any chance, so I can try to set it up for bench test?  Also, in case I'm daft, how do you turn it on? There's a tenth pink wire which sits separate, I'm assuming that's to trigger the aerial..? Any help gratefully received!! ?

Looking for 2 rear wheels in any condition no tyres willing to collect anywhere in the UK 

Thanks Simon
