all british vehicles are tempermental it just takes a gental patiant person with all the understandings of british temperment. AS I WAS TOLD WHEN I PURCHASED MY FIRST BRITISH CAR a 1960 sunbeam alpine in 1975 it took me from then untill 1987 23 alpines later to get there i allways had the pationt the rest was learned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
first thing learned all british cars leak oil if it don't its out of it. had one alpine after complete overhaul no leakage for 60 days went on trip and then ran out of oil on the road.
second thing have right tools learned about british witworth.
third allways carry spare parts. after a while you get to know which ones.
forth allways talk to them (NICE LY)
but most of all ya got to understand british engineering and humor.
with the above you can almost never have to walk
