Sitting around during the last winter my engine appears to have seized.

My Prestolite started doesn't engage very well but when it does it just stops.... Read more

Surely you need to find a specialist on a valuable classic like this. Seizing over the winter suggests to me water has entered the bores, trying to turn it over could do serious damage.

Depends whats stopping it. Get an endoscope and have a look, but I suppose its most likely to be corrosion at the rings which you wont be able to see.

Taking a cautious worst case view of the situation, you want an initial treatment that doesn't preclude a later treatment if it doesn't work, so I'd start with brake fluid which is water miscible, filling the cylinders. Leave to soak for say 12 hours, then syringe off any surplus and try to-and-froing it manually. Dont use the starter...

Item I have just read about oil for older classic cars and why modern oil appears to be dangerous.

Situated on a site that you would not normally expect to find it on.

Thanks for the VR-1 info, though I doubt I'll be affording another car in the UK.

My initial reaction to your last line was "But classics dont HAVE cats" but perhaps that is no longer true....

Hi, I'm new to the group and wanted to ask how to gift a car. Is it best to sell or gift?

I'm shifting from San Francisco to UK and I have a friend who lives in California. We are very good friends from a long time, and I trust him completely. As I'm leaving united states, I no longer need my car, so what is the best option to sell it or gift a car? How to do it? Also, I was told that It has some tax benefits too.... Read more

Suppose you are thinking of gifting a car in California to a family member. In that case, it is an excellent idea as it can help you avoid taxes and expenses related to the vehicle transfer. But remember to keep in mind that you’ll still need to pay vehicle title transfer and registration fees and complete a Statement of Facts to confirm the gift. You also need to remember that different states hold their kind of laws and regulations. So, before you make up your mind about gifting a car, go through every possible information in detail.

Some years ago we had an older car we had no use for at the time and a friends son had need of a car but had no cash. Since the car was only worth probably £300 (it still had about 6 months MOT and was roadworthy) we simply transferred "ownership" using the V5C. Better than it simply sitting there.

He used it for about 18 months before it went to the crusher.

How hard can it be.
