Cylinder rebuild kits generally come with a small tube of grease for the hydraulic parts of the system; all that I have seen are a darkish red. I use this quite liberally on the piston, but every two years I also dismantle the cylinders and apply more grease, and change the brake fluid. It's the sam...

Made the Lakes Tour for the first time in three years. It was as much fun as always but very wet. The Prefect covered 287 miles in the day at a fuel consumption of just under 39 (Imperial) gallons per mile. An Imperial gallon is 4.54609 litres so bigger than a US gallon at 3.78541 litres. https://i1...

"If you clean the spring up well you will find one or two notches on the spring end, the notched end is the lower end of the spring. The springs are rated according to the notches, the two notch spring has a heavier rating." I suspect that fitting the springs with the notch(es) at the bott...

That's really sad. He made a couple of trips to Britain and I met up with him both times. A truly nice gentleman.

I have a lot of the dates, at least to the middle of the months.

6015 was the basic part number for an engine block casting, it would be preceded by the specific engine type, e.g. 100E, 105E (original 997cc overhead valve engine), 109E (later 997cc overhead valve engine, also used for the 1298 cc and 1342cc engines). This should have 100E 6015 B cast into the lef...

Ah well, I understand that California is quite nice too! Anyway, this additional information confirms thoughts of an air leak on the induction side. It might be as well to check that the base of the carburettor is truly flat - they pull down at the ends of the mounting flange as the nuts are tighten...

Not easy to diagnose from a distance, and while a trip to New Zealand appeals, I don't think so! If the car is wired -ve earth the the coil -ve terminal should connect to the distributor and the +ve terminal be fed from the main loom. I notice that you've replaced most of the ignition parts, but I h...

Still got the two 107E Prefects, the maroon one fresh from a full restoration and in daily use, and the blue one still for sale, but taken out for a good run on a weekly basis.

Agree it's a common phenomenon with the 100E engine. As Peteleo says, a small bore / long stroke gives high piston speeds, and they don't like being driven at a constant speed and constant throttle setting for the long periods that modern (and older American) roads allow; in Britain in the 1950s, ev...

Certainly looks like the same ferry.

Funnily enough, they drew an awful lot of attention throughout the tour, which wasn't unusual. However, you might have noticed in the photo of the Corsair another car. A group of the Tour participants went to look the Corsair over, and on coming back I jokingly asked, 'Whose is the Bentley?' I was m...

A major restoration for BLC, and here freshly back from the paint shop.

Still a lot of trim to do, but here she is.

If you're ever in the Wigan area, Brett, let me know. I'd love to see you.
