MG
The Classic Marque

I modified my car to fit a 1275 clutch (and roller release bearing), which I thought might outlast me. But it is slipping after 16,000 miles. What suppliers/brands do you guys recommend? Is it really worth paying £200 for a Borg and Beck one? Is a Girling one at £87 any good?

Two things. 1. skew gear, and 2. Oil pump drive, make alignment tricky!!
If you need to remove it again, turn the crankshaft over to your timing mark with the rotor arm opposite lead number 1. Then note or mark on the flash shield, both where the rotor is, THEN where it is when the skew gear has stopped rotating it when you withdraw the distributor. So assuming ehe crank hasn't been move...

🎵🎵 Oh, my old man's a toolmaker
He wears a toolmaker's hat
He wears cor blimey trousers
And he lives in a council flat
He looks a proper narner
In his...

"Karl Marx defined the working class or proletariat as those individuals who sell their labour power for wages and who do not own the means of production."

I agree with you abour merit. Who you are and where you came from, should not be the deciding factor.

So called 'New Labour' attempted to...

Can somebody please explain what " working class " is.
For my part,I don't give a jot about someones social family history. I care about what they are now. Are they capable, honest, committed and understanding and respectful of others. It makes no difference whether they attended a top fee paying school or the local comprehensive. Lionel TD3490

Almost 2 weeks in, and STILL NO COMMENT FROM TONY BLAIR.

WHY?

Triumph Spitfires also use the same size, as do 70's/80's LR Defenders

"The PM said he was 'proud' to have the 'most working-class Cabinet' in history as he clings on to power in the wake of a series of rows and resignations of close allies. "

What a load of cobblers. Working class my arse.

I'm so called working class. Was born skint, and went to a Comprehensive. So f'king what? That's a qualification to high office now is it? Is it a badge of honou...
