Hi, Thank you for the welcome to the fold. Some questions raised. With respect to pre-selector gear box oil, Gio cautions not to use modern lubricates as they...
Hi again Craig, In answer to your queries here are my thoughts: Gearbox: Any good quality non-detergent 30 grade engine oil should be OK. Try a tractor or lawn...
Greg, Mike, I corresponded with Castrol here, and could not get a suitable oil via that path. I am sure there must be a source of non-detergent oil in the...

Hi Tony, Thanks for your reply. I too, when refurbishing the car back in the 90's , dismantled the Luvax units, mine have the reaction arms affixed to the...
I am not ready to give up just yet. I know someone locally who seems to know all there is about oils so I will check with him to see what if anything currently...
2 observations: 1. Get at least the CD version of Penn's book. 2. Your brother may have contacts in the US for the oil as well. If the oil is found, stash it...

Hi Craig, The clubs also have reproduced factory workshop style manuals and parts books for sale, if none came with your car. Regards, Keith Keith Dewhurst ...
Hello Brian, I am sure that the top seal is for relatively low pressure oil exhausting out of the steering box and back to the reservoir. The real high...
Just a thought Craig, for many years VW Beetles had to use non detergent 30W grade oil as they relied on a centrifugal action filter. Lots were imported in to...
For interest I also have a car with this status. IE registered with DVLA but not required to be SORN for the same reasons. Keith Dewhurst Cardiff UK ... From:...
I think I may a have a lead on filter cartridges here. I went to the local NAPA parts store and gave them the FF20 AC# which is what shows in the operator...

There are two classes of additives in modern oil which are relevant to use in PS gearboxes. The first prevents the oil molecules from breaking up and thus...
Hi Keith And Ian, I'm sure you're right. I think the problem arises if the car is not registered with the DVLA. I don't remember when the computerised records...
Dear Craig, I am living in Germany and have an Armstrong Siddeley 346 from 1954 using for the gear box PENRITE OIL 30 and for the engine filter (cartridge) ...
