- Wilks' cars P1 and P2, thats cars up to 1947 • Re: Starting ProblemsYou may have already done this but, if not, I suggest draining all the petrol from the tank and running the engine until it stops to ensure there is little or no fuel left in the system. Then refill with a couple of gallons of E5.I have found in recent years that unleaded fuel deteriorates […]TonyG
- Wilks' cars P1 and P2, thats cars up to 1947 • Re: Starting ProblemsI was just thinking about your car as I carry out a rewire , plenty of time to think !

- New members • New Member in DorsetHi All,Having been a lurker for a while now, I have just joined the RSR as the new owner of a 1939 Rover 16.
