An unusual motorhome... Went to the SD1 club spares day at Gaydon yesterday, and there were other clubs there too. Classic taxis was one - and another sort of general one. Which had a Rover P5 motorhome among the more usual cars. Looked not too bad. No worse than any other similar conversion on a truck chassis. -- *Never underestimate... 14 Oct 2009 18:09
Austin A40 Sports X 2 We are storing two cars for our friends who moved to the 'States 6 years ago, and due to a job and location change, they are now thinking of selling the cars as they are not going to have the room to keep them along with their three American vehicles.

My question is this: is there any particular reason why one can't make do wit... 11 Sep 2009 16:18

It's not been my day... Just about ready to fit the MegaSquirt. Taking my time as I want a nice neat reliable installation. Made up a complete new wiring loom for the SD1 injection - in all the right colours.

Reviving an aged air conditioning system? Has anyone here successfully revived an air conditioning system in a vehicle that has been discharged and unused for ten years? I've long wanted to the air con working again in my SD1 Vitesse but ten years have passed since I got the car, and that's eleven years since it was discharged. I have a spare new o... 7 Sep 2009 06:43
