I thought I’d raise this event again as it is in 2 week’s time and there will probably be some Lagonda action on the hill. I will be there on Sunday 14th. Anyone else going?
Would you also want to promote this event on my Aston Martin Facebook page?

Or search for Aston Martin Feltham Enthusiasts. It’s a group for owners of Astons and Lagondas built in Feltham so that’s the David Brown Lagondas.

Well done David, must get mine tested. Tend to do it every 18 months or when I remember!
They look attractive but to be honest when we do a picnic we use a modern cool-box for the food and an empty wicker hamper for a tablecloth, cutlery, wine glasses etc. We’ve got several old hampers including a Fortum & Mason’s one that looks rather posh.
Well done David, I must try to get across to one of your meets this summer. Rgds Rich…
Hi Ted, as well as joining the Lagonda Club (which I also strongly recommend) there is a healthy Facebook Group (if you do Facebook) where you can also ask for advice and assistance. Look for the Lagonda Owners Group. Is it a closed group which means you have to request to join but with 376 members there’s lots of well informed people to offer advice.
Hi Mark, thanks for your advice and I agree, it may be easier (for the time being) to modify my existing seat back. It does have an arm rest so I’m ok on that score!
Regards
Rich…Happy Christmas 2018 everyone!
Received, many thanks Chris. Now to get cracking on it. 🙂
Thanks for all the advice chaps, it’s appreciated. Sounds like I simply need to remove it one wet Saturday and spread the parts out on the kitchen table! A job for when my wife is visiting her mother in Somerset… There is a tin of waxed string among the spares I inherited with the car, perhaps this was intended for the Ki-Gass pump?
There is zero resistance in the pumping action so there is almost certainly no petrol being pumped. When I first got the car 3 years ago you could feel the fuel being pumped after a few pumps but now it just feels empty. I haven’t worried too much because the car starts ok.
Can I revive this thread from 2011 and ask if anyone can point me to instructions on how to rebuild my Ki-Gass pump? My 16/80 starts very easily without priming but as the pump is there I would like it to work even if it seems I don’t need it! Thanks Rich…
Hi David, I may be wrong but I think the original idea of only having one fitted with the solenoid was that the driver’s headlamp dipped and the nearside headlamp remained fixed ahead. Compared to today’s laser beam, piercing white lights I don’t think they would dazzle anyone anyway!
Like you both, I have a full collection of receipts, invoices and paperwork relating to my car but I am recording Bessie’s Log, as I call it, in a Word document o my PC. This, of course, does not allow one to draw diagrams and handwritten notes so I think your journal book is a great idea Chris.
p.s. with a core of Lagondas in Maidestone, I can see I will have to make an expedition east one of these days to join one of your pub meets! 😀
Indeed, I would also recommend you join the Lagonda Club. I belong to a number of car clubs and it is one of the best. The pool of knowledge amongst its members is remarkable.
