Bill picked up the car and trailered it back to Glens Falls NY. Talked to his mechanic and the rear shocks were changed. Needed to know what front shocks to get but I couldn’t help him with the front shock P/N.Bought a house in the Palm Beach area in May and moved at the end of July.

Only 10 hours left on my EBAY sale of my LR. Lots of watcher’s but still no bids. Could be a disappointing end for someone not getting the car because they waited too long. Did get a note from the prior owner because he was happy that the car was still in such good shape. Runs like a champ.

I added another ground cable to the battery terminal. Now the battery has 2 ground wires. Attach the new ground cable to a bolt that will ground to the frame. Do not use the same bolt as the original ground.

Mary, Mine would act like a dead battery but if I put a charger on it or jumped it from another car it would start fine. Usually would start fine until it sat for a while. Mine battery tested as good. I cleaned the terminals and it help but randomly it turned over real slow. I added a second ground and that solved the problem. Never hurts to have…[Read more]

Two things that are unique to the London Roadster is the emblem by the antenna and the side gas fill on the driver’s side. Most of the London Roadster owners here have steel chassis , not the VW pan. Mine is also a 1986.

Richard Shear replied to the topic last engine parts due in this week in the forum General Discussion 9 years, 7 months ago
Tires generally rot from the inside out. Old tires can have great tread but may not be safe. Usual indicator most people use is if the sidewall is cracking, if they don’t know about the tire code. Generally I like to change them out at 5 years. These cars don’t have the modern safety equipment so having a tire problem at speed could be really bad.…[Read more]
