    4200 AC COMPRESSOR

    Morning all Had a look on Autodoc etc and all the alleged pattern parts are out of stock. Is there a known alternative and a source? Had a look in the obvious places in here, and could not find a part number. Also some debate whether the Meat & Doria part was actually compatible with the 4200...

    Massive Gamble - PX07 KRU LHD 599 GTB Fiorano F1 23,100km Auction 03/10/23

    I am not interested, but a LHD 599 GTB Fiorano F1 is up for auction today direct from the finance company. UK registered since 2012, but no V5 present. Clean MOT history which expired by coincidence yesterday. Very odd choice of auction house to use, this is nothing like their usual stock so...

    What is Rishi banning today? Skyhooks.

    Well according to a rumour on LBC's James O'Brien's show, Rishi will be banning Skyhooks. That seems credible given the list of other things he is banning that he did not need to ban because they don't exist (or in the case of Skyhooks are NLA). For those who doubt the rumour, here is James...

    How to lose big money on cars without buying a Maserati

    Shmee150 takes you through his car ownership story and the eyewatering sums of money he has lost doing it (bearing in mind it's his business, so it may be clickbait to make you watch his channel). Takeaways from this video are 1. never buy new and 2. don't buy anything except a Suzuki, Ford...

    Shelsley Walsh Hillclimb

    I stumbled across the live stream from yesterday's action. Never been, and must make the effort one day to visit the oldest motorsport venue in the world still to run events on the original course. Hours of watching here, so I have picked a clip part way through starting at a series of Sports...

    4200 Shock Absorber Options

    Eurospares have confirmed that Skyhook shocks are NLA and even non-Skyhook rear shocks are NLA. So absent any new OEM options, where does that leave us? Rebuilding a Skyhook can be done by Orap in Italy (ca. €350 per shock), Nagengast in Poland have the technology but only list the QP on their...

    WANTED: 4200 REAR SHOCK ABSORBER SKYHOOK 197912

    As per the title, on the look out for a rear shock to replace a weeping OSR. If I have to buy new (can you even buy new?) it won't just be the shock that's weeping.

    Eurospares Tour

    Ratarossa went to Eurospares. Amazed by the size of the facility, and some absolutely fantastic finds in there. Probably the most interesting piece for me was a pair of MC12 seats.

    Flooded GT

    Plenty will not like the style of such videos, and these guys don't do the work on the car either (they let the "shop" do that instead), but nonetheless an interesting journey buying a flooded (as in flood from Storm Ida in NJ) GT from Copart.

    Removal of wing mirror and painting of mirror base

    The paint on the triangular black mirror mounts where the wing mirrors attach to the doors has bubbled up. Using @lozcb 's helpful door card removal thread, I have managed to remove all the trim and speakers etc and just need to now loosen the screws which are tight as anything and remove the...

    O/S Indicator and Hazard Lights not working

    Well this is a pain. Took the car out having recently been returned from service and MOT. N/S indicator working but neither the O/S nor the hazards work or show anything on the dash. Is this most likely the relay rather than a new stalk? I see there is a Hella equivalent, 4DB 006 716-041...
