Not sure that charging is your problem. A fully charged battery will run the car all day (possibly not if you are using the headlamps). From what you describe, I would be suspicious of the coil causing it to cut out and fail to restart. Once it has cut out, will the engine crank? or does it show the...

Hi Olivier

That screw needs to come out. Can you insert a lever (small screwdriver) between the lens holder and the headlamp body and try to prise the pieces apart whilst undoing the screw? That may require three hands!

I would suggest that the vacuum tank works just fine provided that it is in excellent condition. And I include the fuel lines in that too, having had problems recently because of pipes partially blocked by old petrol varnish. I have a 1928 533 with the original Stewart-Warner vacuum tank in place, b...

The co-ordination comes with practice. I first learned it aged about 10 around the yard! There are probably youtube clips showing how to do it too. Essentially, on a downshift, run the car down to the speed required for the lower gear, then dip the clutch, shift into neutral, release the clutch, giv...

It could be one or the other, or both. Actually, unless you know the provenance of the coil I would try changing that. They do deteriorate with age and they tend to fail when they get warm. But do consider the HT leads as well. And the condenser. It would be quite easy and inexpensive to lash a new ...

Do you not blip the throttle a little bit whilst in neutral with the clutch up, mid gearshift? That speeds up the layshaft and allows the lower gear speed to synchronise with the mainshaft, giving a silent change.

Hi The first thing to say is that a full rebuild of the front suspension and the brakes and steering will transform the car. The second thing is that it will be both quicker and cheaper to rebuild the existing set-up than to try replacing it with a modern conversion. The amount of sorting out that w...
