What size is the plug spanner as mine are all smaller. A simple question but I just cannot gain access to measure the across the flats. Is it 24mm???

Hello John

We spoke about oils for the 27 transmission and I have now obtained both 140 and 250 grade transmission oil. The 250 I am told is the same as the old 600 "steam oil" and it looks like treacle! Before I do the oil change do you think that sounds like the stuff you are using?

Hoping to take my tourer to Killerton House in Devon on Sunday; its first proper outing. I put a few pics on my profile which you might like to see.

best regards

Mike

Mike, what a great looking car. She sure looks to be a beauty! How does she run?

I have to look up the word "treacle", never heard that one before. But yes, it is like treacle, it really sticks to the gears. Some heat it up in a bucket of hot water for easier, quicker installation. You can also use it in the steering gear housing, which usually leaks badly.
