Hello, when closing the trunk the other day, the Armstrong Siddeley logo/sign at the boot handle fell off. There is a hole in the boot handle mounting where I...
Thomas Badge is held in place with a barrel shaped spring clip that has small protrusions that grip the side of the hole and the badge mount. No glue needed. ...
Thomas, I think (!) that I have a spare one of these clips in my garage. If you don't get one soon, then I suggest you put the badge in the glovebox for a few...
Thanks, that's what I figured... it started a while ago when the badge began to turn while driving. Luckily it only fell off when I was standing next to it, so...
Hi Dieter, I assume that you use the Conti tyres with tubes as the rims have no hump? If so, did you get a certification from the manufacturer stating that the...
Just an observation on this topic. So many of these badges seem to have a bit of enamel missing in the centre, as though people have at some time removed the...
The hole discussed is also a source of slight water ingress to the boot lid. Later cars with badges of this kind used a white nylon 'sock' like fitting to hold...
HI THOMAS My experience with those boot handle badge clips is that they are generally not good this late in time. Peter Caunts description is correct but...

Hi Gio, Good thinking - I got a pal to upload it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRzRqmgL0fg Only the first 4 seconds are of any relevance :-) Martin NZ...
I have to file a complaint with the manufacturer of my Sapphire. I doublechecked but was unable to find golden Champagne glass holders. So there must be...
Ah, but Thomas, the original buyer of your 346 had the choice between these Golden Champagne Glass Holders and a front disc brakes conversion set and, sadly,...
Hi Penn, thanks, will keep this in mind when the 346 goes to the garage, probably next week. I have now a little list of things to do following its long rest,...

Dear Thomas, Not doubting Penn's own experiences with the auto box on a 346, in case anyone is alarmed at the thought of a rapid change to second from top due...
Dear Penn, Please add my good wishes to those of Thomas. I hope all goes well in hospital and that you are soon back out enjoying yourself. Best regards to you...
Thanks Keith, I have not located the leak yet, just noticed a little puddle of (supposedly) gear box oil under the car. Will investigate this when the car is...
Hi Tony, I can't help you except to say that it's probably the same on all 20/25 cars. However, you may confuse people by calling it a 1930 Atalanta unless...
Hi Tony, It always seemed to me, as they sure many features, that the 20/25 effectively replaced the Siddeley Special in the range of Armstrong Siddeley cars...

HI Frank, It is only a thought, but as there were very few Armstrong Siddeleys fitted with fluid flywheels, perhaps it would be a good idea to contact the...
