Thank you for going to so much trouble on my behalf Robin. I really appreciate it. I shall contact Brian tomorrow. Kind Regards. Gordon

Hello John, I took a photo of the 1910 Sociable at the Brooklands Museum. The photo is on the 2 Litre Forum, under Photos From Goodwood Revival and Brooklands. Hope this helps.

Cor! Fantastic! Thanks for that! Think I need to resize though. :)

Thanks very much for that. Looking on the websites, I have one of these belts on at the moment, so at least I now know I can remove and replace the existing belt without to much fuss. It will cerainly be easier to fit than the endless sort. Regards Gordon.

After looking on the ACOC small ads webpage, I phoned Brian Eacott. He has a new fan belt, so problem sorted. Many thanks for all your help.

Okay! Thanks for that. At least I know. Lift the engine it is then. Does anyone know where I might get a new fan belt?

The owners manual only talks about ajusting the fan height to tighten the belt. The belt seems well past that, so needs replacing. I suspect it was considered one of those jobs every body new how to do at the time, so they didn't consider it worth mentioning. The belt looks as though it may able to be split and re-attached. I don't want to try this until I am sure, and have a suitable replacement. The car is at least drivable at the moment - if noisey.

I am trying to remove the flywheel damper from my 2 Litre Saloon.
   
   The nuts have loosened, but the bolts turn as the nuts turn.
   
   I can get two fingers behind the damper to feel the bolt head, but cannot grip it and don't have a spanner which will fit behind.
   
   Can anyone recommend a tool which will do the job, or do I have to modify and existing spanner? Or is there a 'knack' that I haven't thought of?
   
   Many thanks

The flywheel located just behind the crank shaft pulley at the front of the engine has come loose and is rattling around. What do I need to do to fix it? Any help would be much appreciated.
   Many thanks. Gordon

Happy New Year to one and all. Hope its a good one. [:)]

No engine mounting rubbers are on my 2 Litre Saloon 1951. Is this normal?? Also how do you post a photo on this site??

For anyone interested a 1952 Saloon is up for auction on the 12th September by Cheffins. The auction will be in Herefordshire.
