Indeed 

Appears though to have achieved the goal of 'owning' the space on this thread anyway. 10 pages in a little over a month  Depressing of itself I feel.

Ha! I missed that wee nugget!  Blimey 

Those look very decent. And a refund is always good.

Brake master is on the right…… I mean it’s fairly obvious why- he’s had some packaging challenges to overcome…. But non-trivial effort that!

That looks nice. The DHC TR7s look very much the part and seem to have held up well in the styling department. And always had a bit of a hankering for the V8 version. If it's the 5 speed then 'they're all like that sir'. The first (and second) one in my Scimitar was pretty dire until I rebuilt the second one myself but still something of a trial, especially 2nd and when cold. BL/Rover/Landrover fought this box for years with a host of different lubricant recommendations from EP90 worst for shifting performance to ATF, marginally better shifting from cold but pretty much sh1te for hot shifting, bearings and overall life. Muligrades and synthetics don't make much difference to shifting, although are a better lubricant than ATF. Ignore whatever is recommended as the oil de jour for your year and use GL-4 MTF 94. It's the least worst and at least it does a good job of lubricating things and protecting the sychros. PS - the 5 speed has an internal oil pump driven by the input side so never tow the car with the rear wheels on the ground for any distance. The clutch shouldn't be that heavy. Possibly down to how long the car has been sittig. A flush of the hydraulics might help.    

15MM spacers turned up today even though Paypal were refunding for them as they are so overdue . Just for the rears as a) Harry says the inside of the rear wheels are just touching the coil springs . b) any extra track width will help with the side exhaust . The rear arches are steel so can be manipulated easily unlike the fibreglass fronts .

I like the washer bottle mod on that blue car! LHD only unfortunately

Wot Nick says. Not a fan of big scoops and chrome 'jewelry'. Visual mods nicely done and restrained so that they almost don't show at a first glance. And for me I prefer exterior mods to be more or less in keeping with the period of the car. And especially cars to be used.

Looks very nice, is it the 4 or the 5 speed (or even an auto)? Every now and again I find myself looking at them, I feel like the styling has really grown on me in the last few years, previously they didn't interest me much at all...
