    Confused replied to a thread Pulley noise in Engine
    I am always wary of garages - whilst there's nothing too "special" about these cars, they are very rare, and most garages don't really know what they're doing with them, so you potentially end up paying much more labour costs than strictly necessary because they have to spend time figuring everything out. I don't think you're particularly far from Davezj who might be able to assist you in diagnosing this, and give you some pointers before you head to a garage and potentially part with lots...

    First thing I'd do is get a long screwdriver, put the handle to your ear, and hold the sharp end all over the engine and try to pinpoint where the noise is the loudest, then report back to us. I did this with my Anglia, and it seemed noisiest from the very centre of the V where the two heads join. Turns out for me it was that I'd crushed the idler pulley with the chain of the engine crane. Doing the belts is not an engine out job - but the mechanic was 99% of the way to doing a water pump...

I know Lucas did both short and long journeys, and drove it like it was designed to be and like a granny, and didn't have any overheating issues with...

    Confused replied to a thread Front brake callipers standard in UK Parts for Sale / Wanted
    As far as I can tell, based upon part numbers listed, these are equivalent to stock calipers: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/254412829419 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/254412829818 I don't think you could even buy the refurb kits for much less than this!

    I certainly wouldn't like "stock" brakes, EBC YellowStuff seemed to be a good price/performance ratio, without going to full on race brakes (like Carbotech XP-8) All of our stuff at Area 52 has been us renting the dyno, they've not actually done any of the mapping itself.
