I've been caught out, convinced the engine has stopped, but it's so quiet I can't hear it ticking over.

Quote from: Dopey on Yesterday at 04:46 PMI didn't think you could stick anything to the screen anymore anyway, 3 points, isn't it?

Never heard of that - having just googled it:-


https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/stickers-or-other-items-in-front-and-rear-windscreens/view-to-the-front-and-windscreen-obscuration



"In practice, the annual test will check that items placed in or stuck to the windscreen or surface damage, cracks or discolouration in the windscreen do not seriously obscure the vision of the driver. In order to better define what maybe permissible the windscreen is divided into zones:

Zone A is a vertical area 290mm wide, centred on the steering wheel and contained within the swept area of the windscreen (this area is 350mm wide on vehicles over 3.5 tonnes);
Zone B is the remainder of the swept area of the windscreen
For simplicity, surface damage, cracks or discolouration, are simply referred to as damage.

In Zone A, a single damaged area shall be contained within a 10mm diameter circle. A combination of minor damage areas shall not seriously restrict the drivers view. Windscreen stickers, or other obstructions, shall not encroach more than 10mm.

In Zone B, a single damaged area shall be contained within a 40mm diameter circle. Windscreen stickers, or other obstructions, shall not encroach more than 40mm.

Windscreen repairs shall be assessed the same as unrepaired damage and shall not restrict the driver's vision.

Cracks passing through the swept area of the windscreen and reaching two points at the edge shall be deemed to render the windscreen insecure.

Items placed in, or stuck to, the windscreen could be stickers, pennants, satellite navigation monitors or decorations.

Original vehicle design features and drivers aids, such as sun visors, are allowed.

Vehicles that do not comply with the above could be construed to be in contravention of the legislation."



Will check the placement of mine to see if it's legal

Don't suppose that is a Rover 80, P5 engine number is it?

Craig.

Hi James,

my 88" chassis number is 141100075, replacement engine number 95128835C, gearbox number 151101082 and front axle 141100151, bronze green r.h.d..

My 109" 2a SW chassis number is 26211378H and g'box number P95119014 marine blue r.h.d.. I won't access the engine (2286 diesel) or front axle because I've a brooding robin in the front n/s headlight.

Thankyou so much.

They have a contact page here https://www.pegasusbulkheads.com/pages/contact-us
Spoke to Debbie yesterday and she was lovely and very helpful.

HI, does anyone have a contact for Pegasus, Ive searched the interenet and can't find them, other than a facebook page which I can't access.... Any idea how much they are?, thanks

As a matter of interest, does anyone who has ordered online, receive any club discount, regardless of offers they may have on?

Quote from: Mycroft on Yesterday at 02:13 PMCheers Dave. That's the original engine, per the database sequence of 1971 FCs.

That's good to know, it's only done about 8k so should be original but always good to have confirmed

Quote from: Seanlandy on Today at 06:36 AMThat's a very kind offer. I cant imagine you will get time to do them all, but if you do. Mine's a 69 2a light weight on chassis no. 23601134A
Unfortunately, the engine is now a 300tdi so not originally.
Any additional info beyond the B Card would be gratefully received. Thank you.

Added to the list Sean. Great if you could let me know colour and reg in the meantime. Best, James

Fascinating - that's a new one on me. There are some folks hereabouts who may know more than me but it might require a separate thread, if you'd like to start one as they probably won't be reading this thread.

Cheers, James
