You leave those Christmas lights out of it. :)
I told you a few club members came by and I need to make a path around the
car. I was about to plug them in too, honour the season.

Ok at least I'm crazy enough to bring the car in from the snow and leave the
daily driver out in the cold :)
Yuk.
I can't wait for this to be over.

Dear All,
Just felt I had to share the first long-distance trip in Carly since the
engine rebuild. Since this is probably only of the remotest interest
even to my nearest and dearest, I'll keep it short.

Dave,
Sounds like you're on the right track. I just took a look in the catalog
and it does appear that the pump housing that you have would fit any
spitfire. If you plan to use a fan for a MK3, then you would have to buy
another water pump. If for the time being you want to use that water pump
As I have time on my hands I decided to do a bit of tinkering with my car - my
usual timing and carb check (I installed some new spark plugs a few weeks back
and they needed it needed richening)
And the downpipe just needed tightening up (how you're meant to get to the

I have had a few people ask me that so i checkced the numbers and the ones i could

I didn't take the pump off the engine. It was in one of many boxes that came with
the car.
Many of the parts i am finding are from a 1500 that i think one of the PO's wa

I couldn't agree more with this statement, in putting the TR3a back together
Dave,
Did that water pump come off of your engine? If so, I'm beginning to wonder
if you have a 1500 engine! I can't tell from your picture of the engine,
but you might want to submit the head or engine block number to the spitfire
list to make sure you know which engine you are working on befo
Right back at ya! :-)

Fred,
I think Richard is right when he says :
"If you want your parcel sent a specific way, either because you want it fast
or you want it cheap, you have to tell that to the people you are buying
off. If you don't, you let them choose the service - and the price."
And Yes, I can believe they s
I agree!! We just got about 10-12" here in northern IN. First autox is
the 6-7 April. Might have to use snowmobiles!!

Fred,
It depends a lot on what shipping they used. ParcelForce (the parcels
operation of the Royal Mail, our main postal provider) would charge #22.75
for a 4lb parcel sent standard delivery, but #34.30 for Scheduled (and there
are further, both faster and slower, services than these). There's
Since we have been posting about some of the charges being inflicted on list

A four branch manifold is the answer...although not cheaper than a gasket.

John wondered:
...The down pipe gasket always blows, I'm on my 3rd gasket in a little under
3 years, it's not blowing at the moment although I don't think it will be
long before it is again. I would love to find a permanent solution to the
problem!...

Marc,
You're not the first person to decide to dump the spare wheel in favour of a
car of tyre seal! If you still can't fit it all in, there are a number of
boot racks you can buy - either permanant ones that screw to the boot lid,
or temporary ones that strap on only when you need them.
