We have fun with old cars. Repairing and driving to keep these vehicles on the road.
Proving that classics are not just relics from the past.

Reliant Supervan 3 300 mile road trip to Rustival and back
Sadly the DVLA didn't sort the V5 for the Austin van in time for Rustival.
Cue my long suffering, but ever faithful Reliant Supervan 3 as we drive to Gaydon and back for the Rustival car show. Including our quick walk around the event.

Morris Minor Drive, The Best first Classic?
Excellent! The first time that I now fully understand all about the points… now what about a chat on the vacuum, please!
as funny as watching the old top gear brilliant
Years back 50/60s, there was a fuel called Cleveland Discol, it was sold as 'Cleveland Discol with Alcohol'
Any new content soon?
Very helpful , thanks for that , keep up the videos they’ve been a great help
love ya work! u know more than u let on I suspect!! Great tip u gave about fitting the timing cover loosly and then the pulley into the seal to centre the seal round the pulley before u do 2 bolts up to keep the cover in situ. Very good!! Ya should have done those mounts while u were in there!!
A rattle as appealing as Jimmy Savills' jewellery.
Where are you? We love your videos. Don't stop!
Some good points there, have you experienced hot running engine wise? Thanks for the vlog
Hi guys loving the vlogs, I used to work for British Leyland as it was in the 70s. Love the balancing tool, we had similar but I used a piece of small bore rubber tube and my ears lol basic but effective. I was going to mention the carb synchronisation about loosening balance bar between carbs the use individual screws to balance but noticed someone else has told you. Love these engines, I had a marina tc coupe, had huge boot for my toolkit and welders at weekends when assisting others come mot time. One new tool you may consider new or secondhand is a gunsons pressure bleeder, once used you will wonder how you did without it, marina clutch was a nightmare to bleed, but that tool completed the job in literally seconds. If you do use a pressure bleeder only use about 3-5psi in tyre not like I did first time 35psi...wondering why plastic mastercylinder was ballooning lol. Best of luck guys, nice motors 😊
Always after adjusting brakes center the shoes by pressing foot pedal at a moderate amount , then check again for loose /binding with drum on of course lol.
New videos please
Best video ive seen on this channel, good fun.
Sheep? sound more like cows.
Good job. These cars are a delight work on. Everything is so simple and accessible. I love mine.
16:00 make sure both throttle forks on the linkage are lose and then balance them. Once they are balanced then set them to engage the throttle plate at the same time. I like to set them with a bit of play either way of the linkage fork. You can't use the cable while lose as they are then independent. That's the way to base line them.
I have a few classic collector cars, I've found using ethanol free fuel will keep the fuel tanks from rusting.
I like your style young man
Nice Saab there..
That looks a very solid moggy van, remember well the traditional banging on the fuel pump to get it to go that chassis looks in very nice condition hope you have many hours of fun driving it, one of the best cars ever...
Checking if you're alive.
We'd all like to know. No update on Facebook either.
How a vehicle should be designed. Great Video.
Awesome video, thanks for the tips. I have a 1955 series 2 and a 1958 1000 that I am restoring got last year and June 2024. Never driven a Morris minor. By the time I do get to drive these, I wont have to worry about the timing chain. Cheers...Ray
I think they weigh about 35 KGs and in race tune give out 85 hp.
Great job. Same year as mine
My clutch is nearly at the floor and has been for a long time, what a great video thank you
Dad won the pools big time (£300), so he sold the Norton Big 4 and bought one of these. Luxury. As a self conscious teenager in the 70s, I was hugely embarrassed about it, and resisted the lift to school because Dad was passing that way, however, he insisted and I had to ride with him. I made sure that Dad dropped me off well out of sight from school so that none of my friends would see me. We would go on family adventures in this beast, usually to the seaside. I'm from Harrogate, so a day trip to Brid would take around 4 hours to get there, with mum in the passenger seat, and my sister and I sat on the wheel arches in the back. Yes, really safe. There was always a little bit of Reliant camaraderie, and all Reliant drivers would offer and return the forefinger salute from the steering wheel. Later, ironically, I had a Bond Bug, what an absolute hoot that was. Similar running gear and triple the laughs.
For what it’s worth, my Traveller has electronic ignition which runs faultlessly. After leaving it a few years I had problems starting the car caused by the fuel pump gooed up with old fuel. Tapping helped sometimes but ultimately I took the top of the pump to bits & cleaned the valve mechanism - success! The other issue was choke cable corroding & not going fully back home, car running on choke & conking out. Not difficult to fix & so satisfying !!
These vids would be better if you were both naked except for stockings and high heels, and you were giving the viewers the 'come on', using all the filthy sex words.
Why are you taking out the engine without the gearbox? You have more chances of damaging the friction plate when putting the engine back in. With MGBs the gearbox has to come out also!
Enjoy the content, but unfortunately you fall down badly trying to be funny. Your style would be much improved being serious.
Good looking show,
I did the old washer bottle dodge once. The bottle was mounted on the bulkhead with a manual squirter (to use the technical term) under the dash. I just connected the outlet from the bottle to the carb and relied on gravity feed. It seemed to work quite well. Thank goodness for petrol tank drain plugs.
The smell of imminent failure. Ah yes, I know it well.
I can't get my brake lights to switch off, any ideas?
This would have to be one of the most instructive series of films showing the ins and outs of trouble shooting the A-Series (and B-Series for that matter) and other period engines. Well done, I've found these most instructive as I've just bought back by chance a 1967 MGB GT, I owned 36 years ago (older than you my good man).
I love big luxury cars, but somehow I just want that Reliant van.
New subscriber - very well done and great entertainment and learning material - your a natural.
tq for making this great video! . but i wish this car have an aircond , radio and can comvert into automatic gearbox . its much helped than kept restless to pull the clutches everyday...
I'm in the middle of this job too, but got it a bit worse. Dried up, twisted bits of plastic fell from the timing cover, which I assume are the "rubber" shims. They're very hard and brittle for rubber... And the cam gear had chipped. I've also taken the opportunity, have the head off and weight off of the engine, to replace the manky engine mounts. What a job in situ with seized mount tower (metric) bolts. I managed with only one cut out. I've removed the radiator, but not the front end. My impact, I mean ratchet, extension fit through the starting hole and through the grille. 😅
I want the stainless steel quarter light and top of the door frame to fit on my 63 Minor, Mines painted.
Ah you need banana skins and sawdust, that'll quieten down the moaning axle.........well at least until you've sold it to the local Vicar
Awesome vid.
Enjoyed your video.
Love the vid mate! Helped push me into working on my old morry, ive got a 55' series II. What coolant are you using? or just demineralised water and rust inhibitor? Cheers
I am going to replace mine as the clutch pedal feels like a tractor, and it's just had a new clutch fitted.
Test light can also be used for setting the ignition timing if you have points and condenser ignition. Not as accurate as a timing light though. Apparently you can use a multimeter to set the dwell angle (point gap).
I think the coil only gets full voltage when engaging the starter as it bypasses the ballast. The low tension wires on the coil will have + & - on them. The + comes from the ignition switch. Old coils were marked sw & cb. Switch & circuit/contact breaker (points). I once see a wiring diagram for an immobiliser that worked by earthing it out. So even if they bypassed the ignition, it still wouldn't start.
