  • Wolseley 18/89s gear shift mechanism fix
    The old Wolseley used to have a so- called " Cable Change" mechanism to connect the gear lever to the gearbox. This worked fine, but at some point we changed the engine and gearbox to a late version. This later version uses a " Rod Change" .This is the same system used on Mini's, Allegro's and Princesses. The one we use is a sho […]
  • Austin Ten Conway oil change and brake service
    It seemed the brakes on the Ten needed cleaning and adjustment. While up on the ramp I cleaned up the chassis a bit too after an oil change and a dirty session with the grease gun. Got a new top hose too. This seems to be a rather heavy duty item. I thought it didn't look entirely right, but the "correct" one I ordered looked a little bit flim […]
  • Angerse Midzomer rit 2021
    A run with the local classic vehicle club. The Austin must have been the oldest car around. A great variety of vehicles turned up: cars, tractors, mopeds and motorcycles.  
  • Beaver and paddle day
    A placid Summer day on the river. This beaver was swimming lazy circles around the kayak. It looked a bit small to me, but when it slapped the water with his flat tail, I was sure this was a beaver. While floating past some bushes I heard a few more, but they didn't show themselves.  
  • MGB GT service
    The orange MGB was slightly overdue for a service. Because of the covid-restrictions the car had not been used much, but still I try to change the oil every two years, check the brakes and grease all lubrication points. Also it was another good reason to practice lifting skills. And of course there was a little mishap. I was checking if I had parked the mg c […]
  • Austin Seven special broken dynamo bearing
    I noticed a strange noise while driving the Seven. It seemed to emanate from the front of the engine. After removing the fanbelt I found that the itself was fine, but the dynamo definitely was difficult to turn and the front bearing seemed shot. I keep a spare dynamo with the Wolseley, so I decided to fit that. Of course the broken dynamo will be rebuilt, so […]
  • Mini Van universal drive boot change and service
    Now, with a four post lift installed in the shed it should be easier to work on those low cars. The mini Van is the lowest of the bunch, so it seemed appropriate to start with a job that came up after the safety test. Yes it failed because the rubber boot on our five year old very low mileage universal joint had failed and the handbrake did not engage evenly […]
  • Meander Monday
    Suddenly it's summer after some dark and rainy weeks.  
  • Achterhoekse Oldtimer rit 2021
     The first classic car event for our Wolseley 1500 turned out to be a beautiful day. The car behaved well and the run took us through some very scenic areas. 
  • MGBGT rear sill panel and rear wing rust repair
    One of the repair panels I had fitted about 22 years ago had rusted quite badly. I found this strange as all the other panels I had replaced at the same time showed no rust at all. Time to investigate.Here you can see the nasty rust after a little poking with a screwdriver. Usually when this section has rusted like this, the sill behind it has rusted even mo […]
