Its hard to see your kids grow up because that means your are getting old.I have found that  getting old isn’t to bad.Grandchildren, retirement,sleeping in care free lifestyle oh yea i almost forgot grown up TOYS.   

Something similar happened to me.Going down village road it just quit. Nothing at all.Went to local store .Replaced all female wire ends and shined up male ends in engine compartment .A very easy $5.00 fix

Thank you all you helpful people out there in td land.I will now ad it to the history of my car.I hope i haven’t been a pain in the

.About this .I guess i didn’t ask the right questions in my research                             

Well as usual i’m a little confused.If my car has a 1.8 liter 85 hp. Are you guys saying that it came from the factory that way ,was it modified in the factory,or was it modified after the factory built it.John,i found the above paper that you posted plus a couple of others,and they both say 85 hp. now did all london roadsters come with 1.8…[Read more]

Well today i found it.I would send you the link but i don’.t know how to. It was an original dealer showroom album that sold on ebay. The album says it comes with a 1.8 liter 85 hp. The reason i have been hunting for this is i am trying to create a history of my car in a scrapbook               

Paul,my neices name is Heather Buchan she and her parents are some of the nices people you will ever meet she has has a brother and 2 sisters.All good people

I too have a freshman niece at syracuse university. [go orangemen]She is a cancer survivor and they have been more than accomidating .After a bone merral transplant she is cancer free.I spend every 4th of July on oniata lake just north of there.Thought about driving my car there this 4th

Dick, I find this very interesting because mine is the same as yours only 1985 .I have seen that spec sheet somewhere on  the computer .But i can’t find it.It says85 hp. If you type in british green london roadster  there will be another one 85 hp

Happy Birthday Paul.I am still wondering if you exist and if you do exist when do you sleep.You are on here eairly morning and late at night. 

My mirror is also a two screw dash mounted mirror  and more than once  a car showed up in it and i did not know he was comming until he was there.Its alot worse with the top up. that is why i bought the suction cup mirror.Drive safely!

Thanks,I had the valves adjusted and the next time i take it out i will turn up the idle.That will be awhile snow storm tonight over a foot of snow expected 

I also came up with another idea.My wife like most women is always cold. She  will only go for rides on 75 plus degree days an never at night.I have a small electric ceramatic heater that i heat my 200 sq. ft. work shop with when its 20 degrees out. I could heat the car interior to 100 degrees plus with the side curtians on    

It works.The only problem i can forsee is i wonder how much power it draws.  Hopefully not to much. I have to remember to turn it off.

Thanka Paul,Iguess i better check my spelling before i post.

Your right.Tried to match my British Green i had all of the auto zone people in the parking lot with touch up pens we finally decided which one matched well guess what it did’nt match .I am going to call auto zone to see if they have a [camera looking thing].If they don’t I will call napa.Did you put it over the jell coat or don’t you have…[Read more]

Today i got my car back with a new fuel pump in it.It runs great. The only thing it does now is a little backfiring not bad. It did it a little last year then it quit hopefully the same this year we will see. 50 degrees in buffalo ny put on winter clothes and went for a ride 70 degrees forcast for monday out for coffee my wife seems excited and so am i.

Tomorrow when i check up on it i plan on printing all of this and taking all of your posts to my mechanic so keep it coming. thanks alot I want my car back 

they did nothing fuel related . This is the second time same thing .I thought i had it fixed with a new filter because it ran good afterward.

The same thing happened to me. Mine turned out to be the gas filter. Sometimes so i’ve been told they put 2 in. One just before the carb and the other befoe the pump 2 dollars at auto zone and i also found them at a flea market for 1 dollar . I am also told there is a screen where the fuel line goes into the carb that sometmes needs to be cle…[Read more]
