my 1983 komet will cruise all day at 70 mph using 28 mpg but more often than not i tend to stay at 60mph on motorways

For the last six years l have been running with G13 antifreeze in a 1983 T25 petrol. Is this ok ?

Connection all seem ok, plus the fuel gauge is working, the alternator is not charging, does the blue wire have to energise it..?

Each day this week I have fired up my propex ,no problem, yesterday, tried, nothing, tried new gas bottle , checked battery just would not fire up...this morning a run over to the other side of the island, stopping tried the propex again, fired up straight away, worked ok ever since, any one else ha...

What I thought would be a quick job turned into an all dayer. While my t25 passed its MOT OK, MY tester informed me that the hand brake would need a little tightening in the future, as I had just installed new rear brake linnings that would be bedding in shortly, when the brake lever seemed to be co...
