I am sure my oil level dip stick is wrong. Does any one have a photo of one with measurements ?

Like wise the petrol dip stick is missing. I will make one, what did the originals look like and how were they marked !


Out today for a rule of 6 coffee with other friends.

I see, Waterless is not the way to go. I like to use my cars even during the winter, so I don't want to drain the system.

Is there a preferred normal anti freeze ?

It is that time of years to check/change your anti freeze.

Has anyone tried the waterless coolant ?

I am a late comer to Singer Ownership. When I needed a replacement 1st gear earlier this year I messaged the club and John replied. He had a LM gearbox that had on the shelf for 40 years, condition unknown as it has come out of a scrapped car. He was so helpful with advice about how to fit it and wh...

I have local guy repairing my speedo. After its time in Malaysia all the rubber components had melted . I too have problem with the odometer. Paul think he can tweek the ratchet over slightly to avoid the worn egde of the wheel.

I'd echo Colin's suggestion also. A chrome spray over a first coat of flat black should do a good job. That's a nice original 'wobbly spoke' Ashby Brooklands steering wheel. The spokes are unfortunately steel, unlike the Blumels version which has stainless steel spokes. Blumels licensed the Ashby d...

Thank you

Some of the steering wherl spokes have lost their chrome. Has anyone tried these chrome effect sprays. The youtube videos look very effective but there are mixed reports on durability ?

As the weekends now roll into week days. I have removed the gearbox to sort out the 1st gear. So while the interior was partially striped I took the opportunity to remove the rest. It had got severly faded in its time in Singapore. So I removed the rest and will prep and colour change to match the c...

I have used cold laser welding before to repair a rear diff, so that is always an option.
