My policy mid-2009 came to an end with Royal Sun Alliance and sadly they were pulling out of the classic car insurance market in the UK. Shame really as I was very pleased with the premiums, though never needed to submit a claim. Did find a very competitive deal with Footman James who also threw in ...

Hi Harry, I have the Brembo setup, and though I didn't fit them I do know that there is a small 15mm copper tubing sleeve required that allows for the calipers to be bolted without any real modications to the existing setup. Discs you want are off a 406 Coupe, 2.2 0r 2.7 Turbo and I ended up getting...

Agree with what has been said, you would want a "comfort" zone between fan blades and rad - just checked mine and have at least an inch if not a tad more. That engine will certainly move about :D http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r82/tomaselli/Tiger-Fan.jpg http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r82/to...

Talking of coating headers/exhaust manifolds, does anybody have any experience or thoughts on using exhaust heat resistant tape :?:

The good reviews state that is does keep under bonnet temperatures lower (a must for a Tiger me thinks) any negatives outweighing the immediate obvious benefit :?:

It's great to see so many photos and videos, you can get a "taste" of the event but sure it would have been hairy a few times. I saw the video when you lost ...
