SO what did you you do with your Stag today?

[Goldstar]

I remember doing the cycling proficiency test at primary school and we were told we should ride in single file. It's made worse because we have a lot of narrow or single track roads in the Dales. The only people who like cyclists are other cyclists

Doesn't make it correct. I think we should leave this here before it goes downhill

All road users should be considerate ....

Actually that's more than a "should" methinks!

CD20	Driving without reasonable consideration for other road users = 3 - 9 points

Finally got around to some serious polishing!

Hi, we went over to Scarborough for the day visiting parents currently in scotch corner services waiting for a recovery truck to take us home after the auto box lost its fluid for some reason, any ideas why that might happen?I will have to investigate later. First time in 12 years it’s let me down so can’t complain & at least it’s not the engine. Cheers rob

Hi Rob ,
Hope you got home safely.
Mine used to do that,,,but less so since I fitted the gearbox vent/overflow pipe and routed it over the servo and though the hole in the inner front RHS wing.
They can chuck it out when not used for a while,but as you say you were already out and about.
Ken.
ps. the Rimmer bros site is good for parts images.

Chris - that green convertible between the blue Stag and the Dolomite has (almost) got your initials as it's number plate.
Went to see my Stag at the Garage today, paid the bodywork man for the new panel he has put in my door - seems to have made a good job,
However, can't bring the car home as it needs quite a few underneath parts, some of which will have to be ordered from Paddocks, but it's a Bank Holiday today in the U.K., so can't contact them till tomorrow.
Glad your having good weather in the U.K., it's constantly cloudy over here, never known it so bad and so unlike Tenerife for the past few months. Instead of just shorts and T-shirt, have got 3 layers of clothes on at present (and that's in the home), it will be 4 when I go out for a drink later and put a coat on!

Too hot for garden work so....

- finally connected up the seat heaters after removing seats to re-route cables
- helicoiled a seat pivot bolt female thread and re-fitted an old bolt which I'd kept aside (I swear those new remanufactured pivot bolts are a bit soft metal-wise)
- used some hog rings to anchor the drivers carpet to the floor underfelt to stop it drifting towards the pedals
- fitted my "new" seatbelts from FDTS - brilliant! They actually retract smoothly now and the new webbing is superb!
- slightly re-routed the accelarator cable in the engine bay to get rid of an irritating notchiness

Love that Standard Vanguard (Phase3 ?). My Dad had one, the 6 cylinder Vignale. When I was learning to drive he let me drive to Liverpool from Preston on the A59. Loads and Loads of traffic lights on the route to the tunnel. He took over after the tunnel and - what a coincidence) we went on down to Llandudno for a weeks holiday. 1969 I think. Boy was I nervous driving through the tunnel - never felt lanes to be as narrow before or since. Part of the learning curve I guess...
