    What exactly causes that long overrun exhaust note? Mini's often had it too. I've got it on my Sprite, albeit punctuated by too much popping I can't seem to cure.


    Anyway back to Guy's thread. Wish I had a good answer for you. Nobody seems interested in my uncle's great condition Spitfire unless it's very silly money. Sell as parts?

    Hard to take the nostalgia and feeling out ...

    Could you try MASCOT Guy? I'm no longer subscribed but do they still do a for sale section?

  • JS Jac27 May 2026

    Thank you for sending it. I have this manual.
    My request is for a drawing to see if the reinforced mechanism that Helix is ​​offering can be installed without modifying the existing flywheel.

  • anamnesis27 May 2026

    Seems so Colin.

    What about “smart luggage” with built-in batteries?

    Smart bags that use lithium batteries for GPS, charging, or motorized wheels are allowed only if the battery can be removed.

    If removable: take the battery out and carry it in your hand luggage.

    If non-removable: the bag may not be accepted as checked or cabin baggage, depending on the airli...

    Will the attached help?

  • J P Hall27 May 2026

    Agreed - that's one of the things that stood out in my readings about this ammeter caper - most of us use these old bangers intermittently- life gets in the way and they sit idle from time to time - giving the dynamo the opportunity to lose its residual magnetism and its polarity. Apparently there's no harm done in freshly polarising from time to time - although in my case the job has to be done a...

    Although this has morphed into a nostalgia thread ( by me included) it really was to see if anyone might be interested in my car - or know someone who might be.
    I am loathe to just put it on eBay as it includes quite a lot of upgrades and items that probably wouldn't be of interest to the average speculative ebayer. And it's definitely not one of that shiny, dazzling chrome, car show variety!

    So are you supposed to take your CR2032 lithium coin cell battery out of your bag tracker before you check it in?

    Just to add.--Last year I had a mate travelling on the mainland (should have known better, it's dangerous over there) in his MGA. The genny spat a bush and he bought a new/old stock generator from an auto elect. and had it fitted by the auto guy who said it was good to go. All the way home his battery only just held up but was flat the morning he had to get off the boat here. Had a look and it was...
