We have Barum's excellent in the dry and in the wet! And they are made by Continental too. Very good tyres! Have a look on tyreshopper.com

I think that your big end bearings have gone. Happened to my old astra. No harm in driving it if you are going to get a new engine with all new ancillaries.

Just been going through your post about your European Road trip to Spain and back - it looks awesome! We are ready for our summer trip to Croatia, roll on September!!! Murphy sounds amazing!

Hi, We are going away for three weeks, we are looking forward to seeing Croatia and Slovenia the most, as we have toured France, Germany, Italy and Austria extensively - but this is our first time to Slovenia and to Croatia. We took Bod down to Nimes in the summer of 2014 and he was fine, since...

We are driving to Croatia too this late summer, going via France from the Chunnel, to South East Belgium for the first campsite and then through Germany, Austria, Italy, Slovenia and then Croatia! Can't wait for the road trip!!

We fitted one of these, and Bod starts first time every time - a massive difference!!!

We've always used Petronas Syntium 800 semi synth or Castrol GTX 15/40 semi syth in Bod, doesn't overheat (even driven at 65mph in the summer) and it seems not to drink it too much at all. We have the standard 1.6 twin port engine. Hope this helps. Others seem to rave on about the mono grade 30...

Thanks for this! It's much appreciated! Bod can now run when he's cold!

Yes, the one that rests on the stepped choke. Cheers.

Hi, its the screw that is attached to the throttle arm, the one which you aren't meant to touch to set the idle speed with.

Good evening all, the throttle adjustment screw from Bod has gone missing, on our drive back from Stonehenge this weekend upto Sheffield, we stopped off for petrol and I checked the oil level, and I noticed that the throttle adjustment screw was missing! It was there before!!! Now it doesn't...

Good afternoon everyone, we have decided to drive Bod all the way down to Crotia in September this year, we were wondering if any one else has done this and what route they recommend? We've driven Bod down to Nimes in summer 2014, and drove all the way to Naples in our lovely Alfa 156...

Hi, Your T2 does look like a Devon, the interior has obviously been stripped out of it, ours still has the original interior, so if you need any help, given us a shout. Cheers,.

Thanks so much for this, my bank holiday weekend is now sorted. Cheers. Simon.

Hi Lard, thanks very much for letting us know, I think I will source a pair of the split ones and change mine. Cheers, Simon.

Is it easy to change the two rubber sleeves with the manifold still attached to the cylinder heads? Cheers, Simon

Hi, I will tell the garage to use timeserts or bigsert, just can't wait to get her running on all 4 cylinders! The replacement carb from Limebug has made a MASSIVE difference, even with cylinder 1 misfiring under load, she is pulling fab and can even accelerate up a hill in 4th gear!!! I think...

It was just a massive shame and a big disappointment, I am grateful to Limebug who sent a lovely new carb out in hours and it works perfectly! All I asked from the guy on ebay was that could he send me another rebuilt carb, he said no, the most he would do was to send a new top, but I had paid...

Well we had to escalate the case in Ebay, and this weekend they confirmed that I would be getting all of my money back and that I have to send the damaged carb back to the chap, I have however asked if we could have our old carb back which we could sell at a busfest! I just can't wait for the...

Well the engine has to come out to number 1 cylinder, and while it is out, I will get them to fit a new clutch and deal with any rust issues and renew all the fuel pipes! Can't wait for spring and summer!!
