Hi Colin. Yep once i find out more details on what, were and how much I will as usual pass on all details as widly as I can but the best and quickest rout is to pass on this info through word of mouth to friends and Lagonda users then use this forum for a quick reply. The chap with the parts states he is very busy so I offered to act as a go between for the time being. He also says he has some other part for pre war cars but have not investigated this as yet but its worth an email if your looking for bits which I will be happy to forward. He’s sending me a hand writen list when I get it I will post here!!

Hi Peter, The broken brass bit! It is a small brass screw which seems to be a blanking screw and serves no purpose? I could be for some sort of temperature gage possibly in the Aston Martin DB2-4. The thermostat I will leave to those better qualified.

Hi Collin.
With binding your exhaust outlet as you have, did you have to put any extra shielding to the under body of the car to protect against excessive exhaust heat?

Hi Peter
1. How was it getting the engine out?
2. I would have the bores checked and if possible replace the piston rings.
3. Yes to the head including valves, seats, seals and other part of the head.
4. Now to me an important part. Descale flush, flush and flush again as much of the engine and other parts of the cooling system as you can. These engines are prone to running HOT!
5. Exhaust. If I did my engine again I thing I may have the exhaust manifold bound in heat tape before putting it back in the car. It gets very hot under the bonnet and this may help cooling?? But this is open to discussion!
6. Have a look at the front of the engine by the distributer area they are prone to leak oil change gaskets as necessary.
7. Have a look at the water pump impellor and again clean out any sediment/scale as required

Hi All. Have a look at the Model t club site at http://www.modelt.org Then have a look at the tech corner on the blue bar at the bottom of the screen. In my opinion this is how a club site should work lots of info with a good tech support area including photos showing details of how a part was repaired. Large files such as operating manuals etc can be down loaded via PDF format (Anybody can down load PDF but can?t alter the text) Other data that is in various formats such as scans large photos tech drawing etc can be purchased via the club on DVD?s which helps with the running costs also helps keep the club site manageable. There are large amount of information about all aspects of the Lagonda?s of all models but on paper which is difficult, slow and expencive to manage. You can put this articles?-photos-scans on a website like Youtube BUT! If this site is taken off the Web everything is lost.
Should this type of site not be run by the Lagonda club and cover ALL models? I know the club is looking at a web site; here is a fully working model which could be adapted to the needs of the Lagonda club with minimal outlay as the database is already in existence.
I could go on put you get the idea!

Hi Richard. Have a look at the in line fuel filters. Also When I recently removed my fuel sender unit and the fuel reserve control because of a fuel problem, the copper filter around the two inlet pipes that pick’s up the fuel (that?s the main and reserve pipes) were so bunged up with crud they look like they had been in a bee hive. I steam cleaned out the gunk and the fuel started to flow! Now my fuel pump ticks a couple of times and that fills the carb. Hope this helps
