My first post on the new forum ,there was a thread running on the Bravenet forum about running in on 30 oil with the Australian pistons (ex Holmsdale sevens ) and what milage to change the oil . I have done 301 miles on the oil , is it time to change it , and can I now use Halfords Classic 20 /50 ?.

As a bit of a novice, I'd be glad of advice, please. Driving my 1930 Box this morning developed a knocking on overrun. Knocking slows as car slows. Same noise irrespective of clutch engagement. Seems to be midway in car but hard to tell. Noise is there under slight load but less pronounced.
Where's best to start?   Thanks

I'm working on modifying a trailer for my Ulster Replica which is presently in Sussex and I am in the US. Can anyone let me know what the height is of an Ulster Replica with aero screens, no hood, standard lowered configuration. I would guess about 3 feet, but an exact measurement would be helpful.

Hi from Sydney, Australia

Here's a link to a picture of FDH 378 - my grandad's first car he bought after WW2. It's a blue and blank 1935 Austin 7 Ruby. He owned it through the 1950s and later up-sized to a Humber to fit his family of seven children!

According to the UK registration check, it still exists and is linked to the Midlands Austin 7 club and the Austin 7 club of London.

Has anyone seen this car? Own it? Know of it?

I'd love to find out where it is - and hear stories of its current life.

Kind regards,

Alastair

good sleeved standard block, i.e. back at 'datum' measurement 2.19". Probably wants a light hone (is that the right word?) before use. 
I can take photos of anything you want inspected.

Another thing kicking around that realistically I'm never going to make into an engine so might as well help someone else do so.

I have been asked to assist with re-commissioning a American Bantam Van, it was dismantled many, many years ago and restoration was started but never completed. I have been tasked with reassembling the vehicle and am seeking information and contacts who may be able to assist. I will post pictures in due course but as far as I can tell at this early stage the attached depict a similar van.

I have an 1937 Austin "Ruby" Seven for sale and for complete restoration having been recently removed from a dry garage along with some other vehicles, where it has been sat for many years.
This is a matching numbers car and I have V5 along with the old buff document therefore it still bares its original registration number.
I have been on the DVLA website and the car comes up and checks out.
The engine is out of the car and turns, the valves open and shut and the bores are clean with no sign of scoring. Although the head and sump are off, everything appears to be there to rebuild it including new gaskets and other small parts.
The car is located in Torquay, Devon.
