    Lots of good ideas are coming from all of you. Regarding my 'fix' about inserting a cover gasket as seen in my picture, the idea was to see if I could just block some of the fuel from spilling. It apparently did not work for a full tank but right now the tank is about 2 inches below the top and it works fine (though it gets soaked with petrol). Dave suggested that I cut another piece of the gas...

    lol, are you trying to make a tax exempt 1500?

  • C L Carter18 May 2012

    Hi John,

    I remember reading on one of your earlier posts (at least I think I do) that you needed 1 STD and 1 +5 thou Thrust washer for your 1500, and that you had to buy a pair of both. Does that mean you have one of each left over? It turns out I need the same sizes and thought we could do a deal that is if you don't want to keep them?

    Update Friday...

    I'm going through a particularly busy period at mo, incl this weekend (e.g. Sunday at the MGCC MR meeting...), but promise I'll be posting grill-badges in batches from Sunday evening. It's nice to have a box-full next to my desk... but they look even better on the car.

    BTW - this process has uncovered 5 'unknown' conversions so far; I have received payment for 18 uni...

    Nice one Paul - I just checked on Ys on Parade and assumed as it was not there or on DVLA it did not survive - glad to hear it does!

  • Paul Barrow18 May 2012

    As to the servicing of modern cars, I also do the periodic servicing for my Range Rover. There really isnt much to do as most of the joints are sealed for life - all that means is when they dry up, their life is over and they need to be replaced ... it does not mean sealed for the life of the vehicle!

    As to the engine and transmission, keeping on top of the fluid changes is about all that ...

    AntiSeize it is. Glad I put some on the nut that holds the clutch hose in place to where it attaches to the clutch pipe. That was a pain too!
