John that is very true.

These forums do however witness that when 240s go wrong diagnosis can be a long trail. The idea that these cars are easy olde things is wrong. That is mainly why it becomes difficult to choose a garage to work on these cars. They don't have the relevant training and experience.

It reminds me of plumbing. A plumber (engaged by mistake as a distress purchase) gives up re a stop tap installed in 1914. A traditional chap re-packs the olde stop tap and departs having asked for a modest payment, We paid him more.


P.S.

The usual name for a stop tap appeared to be censored by forum software .... oops.

Perhaps stop coq ...
