It’s a long time since I’ve had any dealings with Moss, other than a one-off ebay purchase when they seemed to be having a stock clearance.

I’ve only used Rimmers three times. Once when I needed a brake calliper for OH’s Rover 25. A new calliper was only £36 but postage was £11.50

I also bought a few parts for my Rover 75 from them, but I collected them in person when I ha...

This is one of my spare 20/20 ammeters just for reference. The one in Y3348, the original, seems to be reverse polarised - ie it reads the opposite + or - if wired according to the WSM. My 3 spares all read correctly. For now, I've simply reversed the wiring locations on the original ammeter so it reads correctly - but is it possible to reverse the polarity in the ammeter so that it reads correctl...

Yep Willy. Been following that. Same as soldiers here being charged for murder or other so called unlawful killings in the troubles in Ireland yonks ago, and in Iraq/Afghan.

It's all bollocks. Why not trawl back to ww2 and posthumously make up murder charges for soldiers back then too?

When bombs are dropped from planes, people get killed. Not always the intended targets, as it's...

Since this is really a British website, thought I'd make some comments on the Moss UK "situation". As everyone is aware, Moss and "others" have been taken under the Rimmers wing...and things have really gone downhill since! All my contacts in London have been discharged from duties, and most enquiries/orders are directed to Moss Bristol, who then pass on the orders to Rimmers for despatch.

I have had many issues with the needle valves. They can stick even when they appear to be working fine on inspection. Even new ones can be bad. Just replace them.

I remember Mike O’Connor suggesting a spark plug replacement is his go to solution for the problem you are experiencing. You have nothing to loose. Good luck

If there is fuel in the float bowls, maybe consider removing it and filling them with fresh fuel. Old gas can make a car very hard to start.

If you have gas and spark, then the car should at least try to run. It's also possible the timing is way off. If you get coughing or backfiring then that would be a good sign it's timing.

clutching at straws, are the pistons free in the carbs?.
Also the rubber/plastic seated float needles have a habit of sticking after lack of use.
Are both carbs opening ? shaft slipping ?

I have seen cars that sit for a long time have the float needle get stuck in the seat. I know you said you have fuel to the carbs but have you removed the bowl lids to see if there is fuel in the bowls?

I still have an old Win7 desktop that I use with Moviemaker.

The Win10 video editor wasn’t particularly user friendly and then they updated it to Clip Champ or whatever it’s called. I think I’ve used it once.

I bought a refurbished Win11 laptop last year, which was really quick to boot. However, that now takes a lot longer to boot than it used to.
