Anyone got a spare oil breather cap they don't need? The one fitted to my car is an open type without the breather tube, consequently I get an oily rocker cover due to the vapour released.

You can get reproduction caps from the States for $20 but I'd prefer an original if possible.

Thanks

Lou.

I'm the 8th owner of my car. I have a file full of documentation from previous owners. Owner 6 contacted the DVLA and as Tim says the earlier details are almost impossible to read. but I do have the full list of previous keepers. Car has always been white as far as I can tell. I'm in the process of ...

Looks like I've got a shoddy one, will keep my eyes peeled for one of the decent ones, could use the shoddy one as target practice for the stamping!

I also posted this thread on the CAT forum. Here's the response: http://catmbr.org/VB_forum/showthread.php?t=1730

I still have the original "tin" rocker/vale covers on my Tiger engine, however the decal on the left hand cover that has the engine number etc, was missing. I managed to source a replacement from the States which is blank. Obviously the first space is for the engine number, but what is supposed to b...

I went for a CTEK 3.6 charger this time. Used it for a few days. Generally in comparison to the Optimate it appears to do the same job of charging/trickle charging the battery, both makes will desulphate a battery which will restore some life into an otherwise tired battery. The CTEK was £45 on Amaz...

Like driving through tunnels - try the A10 Autostrada between Nice and Genoa. Due to the topography there is precious little flat land along this stretch of coastline so you are either on a bridge or in a tunnel for almost the whole length. Numbers vary with a total of 154.5 galleria, (one straddles...

It's the time of year when we start thinking of hibernating our pride Tiger's. I've used an Optimate battery charger for the past few years on my motorcycle and it constantly monitors the battery during periods of inactivity and always provides a powerful kick to turn over the motor when the weather...

Thanks for the reply Robin, I haven't tested my PCV system, the left side rocker cover is connected to the carb. However, since posting the comment I've found out that the breather cap isn't the correct fitment, the same with my air filter which is a Moroso aftermarket unit. The filler cap/breather ...

The weather forecast looks good this weekend so why not join us in Chepstow on Saturday for the STOC Welsh Tour. The drive departs from the lay-by opposite Chepstow Racecourse on the A466 at 09.00 for 09.30 depart. The route takes in the stunning Wye valley; classic mountain climbs in South Wales an...

I agree the Motors TV coverage was very poor. In advance of any pictures from the LMC here's a shot of my Tiger at the Saint Saturnin Classic British Welcolm at this years LM 24 hours.

Is anyone still making reproduction LAT 72 radio consoles?

2012 Le Mans 24 Hours

I'm travelling over from Newhaven - Dieppe at 23.00 a week tomorrow. Staying in the Houx Annex campsite. Will visit the British Car Welcome at Saint Saturnin on the Friday.

Anyone else going out?

Lou.

After a longish run last weekend in hottish conditions there was a small amount of engine oil deposited on the rocker cover having come out of the breather cap. Also noticed the front bumper ahead of the intake had some oil residue.

Anything I need to worry about?

Oil level on the dipstick was OK.

The tour will start in Chepstow travel up the Wye Valley to a coffee stop at the Rolls of Monmouth golf club (home of Charles Rolls of Rolls-Royce). Then over the classic South Wales mountain climbs with a stop for lunch near to the Dan yr Ogof caves. This is followed by a run over the Black Mountai...
