It is a Rolls Royce, of course, to have the upholstery polish put on by Parks in due course. BenzBoy would more than likely recognize the model. A bit rough and ready, but there isn't anything that money can't fix. She is a full recent import from the old country, but the feature...

This is the sort of thing that can happen on high mileage cars. The picture shown is the input shaft from Torque Converter to the front of the gearbox on a 6.9. You will note that the shaft on the left is completely berift of splines - in other words, there would have been no drive from...

Driving home from my storage area, a distance of some thirty odd kilometers, I experienced slight brake fade, and a spongy pedal, when getting close to home. It only ever happened twice, but often enough, and significant, to cause me to put my thinking cap on. I had looked at the brake pads on...
