SO what did you you do with your Stag today?

[Richard G]

I bought a boot lid from a Cobblers shop!

And yesterday evening went to the SOC group Christmas Dinner - excellent, but mine was thew only Stag in the car park!

Collected a Stag boot floor panel from my brothers that he kindly collected from a fellow SOC member that lives nearer to him. Besides - the only car I had available at the the time was my MGF TF and would never have fitted in that ! Thanks for the panel Peter !

Sun out, roads dry and she had not moved for months but started first time (Cheers Ben) so went to the supermarket to load up for christmas (well boxing day working on the 25th) took the long way round and a blast down the A1, now back to sleep until the sun shines again !

Hi Dave tbh I wouldn't know but the I assume full height as it about 10"-12" high if that helps. My boot is currently full of parts I've stripped off car so unable to compare.

Finally replaced the rough U/J on one of the Datsun drive shafts. I stripped out and dismantled the shaft yesterday. New U/J dropped through the letterbox late this morning and the car was back on 4 wheels again within the hour. On these units the circlips are internal.

Took the car on its longest run since ownership, 211 mls from home to Faversham to let a very nice man called Trevor give her the "Once over". Thought I needed an engine rebuild, amongst other things, but he said NO. Now he's a VERY VERY nice man. Other work is almost complete so may be able to pick her up after the break.

Faversham have a very good reputation. How many other specialists would've said your engine doesn't need rebuilding?

thanks to some dry weather got my Stag out from it 's cozy garage and took wife daughter and son in law out to the Harbour Heights hotel overlooking Sandbanks. Met up with my other two sons grand children etc. Daughter much impressed by Stag and told us Java green is the 2017 in colour! Tempted to take the car to church this morning but not sure we should be thinking about cars on this special day in the Christian faith.
Happy Christmas all and a blessed 2017 motoring in our Stags.

Fitted new wiper wheel boxes.
(One of the originals was a bit stuck / dried up)
Rebuilt 2 off heater fan switches. (They are very very fiddly)
Hope at least one works properly.

Took another photo of my vacuum motor-for Klaus see other thread.
But yesterday called at shop for something my wife needed for lunch,then had a trundle around the North Lincolnshire villages of Epworth-Owston Ferry- Graiselound and West Stockwith ,stopped at the Waterfront pub ,overlooking the marina,where my son bought me a birthday ''Shandy''and let me beat him at pool-twice ! Excellent weather for the Stag,if not cold,but a good heater kept us toasty.

Fitted two new cables from the ign spur / join that is behind the speedo. (white to pink and slate joint)
1 resisted wire for the coil, 1 28-strand power for the aldon ignitor.
They can easily be removed to return to standard loom.
All being well they will be....as I have a special hate for any non standard wiring

Refitted the wiper wheel boxes.... having noticed the spacers were reversed.
The thick spacer goes on the passenger wiper, the thin one goes on the drivers wiper.
.....they must have been incorrectly fitted for some time!!!!

As others have found, the lash / freeplay in the mechanism is not really improved over what it was before, but the friction will have been reduced as the passenger side wheel box had gone tight/ dry.
