Good evening, dear community, I give up after 3 days of “google” and turn to you. I drive a 1966 Opel record B 2.0 with double 45 DCOE weber gassing. The system is set according to previous owner, however, he pabbles in the lower speed range, the gas acceptance is very delayed and power is not really developed by the old gentleman either. As mentioned above, I have been looking for a workshop with test bench and experienced “weaver adjusters” in the area of Baden-Württemberg for a while. Ka nn someone would recommend a workshop? Would help me very much as I don’t really want to drive the engine as it is currently set. LG Jacob

Hello. Which of the above devices is recommended if the car is not moved over the winter ? I think the most common is the battery charger – but what about care devices such as the “megapulse” from Novitec or discharge and loading devices such as the “accu- jogger” ? Greeting a3kornblume

Hello, I’m just looking over from the insurance boys to ask you a question. The following problem: I turned off a bug Bj 60 10 years ago without emptying the tank. Stupid mistake, because now everything is glued completely with resinated fuel at the back of the tank to the engine. The line is tightly closed. I stabbed the first 50 cm with a wire but then it was over. Caramba or dilution in the line did not help. Does anyone have an idea of what I can still do? Is there anything that will dissolve this sticky stuff? I’m grateful for every tip!

Hello together, I know the topic has been discussed here more often, but I need a few concrete answers. My oldie (Opel Monza) has become 30 years old this summer, but for reasons of time I didn’t have to register him this year, let alone make the H-mark, the Tüv has also expired. Since my everyday car has stretched the hooves on Friday, I absolutely need a mobile kit and the Monza would be the most obvious one for now. But since he needs new Tüv, I thought, I can also make the H-mark immediately, finally saves a few euros and a lot of racing. However, a few flaws cause me to break my head, so that I am not sure if he would pass the test at all immediately: 1. The tyres at the front are quite old, but not cracked (were already mounted at the last Tüv) 2. A progressive rusting at the threshold, about as big as a 5-mark piece (was at the last Tüv 3. slight oil loss on gearbox and differential (remains typical of the opel) 4. various welding works, solidly executed, but not concours-suitable 5. Finishing in the original tone, however, the original decorative stripes have been replaced by a slightly wider ‘pattern’ 6. Retrofit radio, probably from the 80s, but with unsightly box cut-outs in the doors What do you think this works with the H-mark or at least with the normal Tüv? the requirements for the H-mark have been tightened, in particular the GTÜ, which has also been allowed to examine since 2007, should be somewhat stricter?

Hello, I’m thinking of buying a vintage car, and it’s best in the style you can find, for example, “the godfather”. You should be buying for about 5,000 or lower, I’m quite willing to put a lot of work into it, but the maintenance costs as such should be as low as possible. I looked at a few mercedes from the 60s that were put around 4,000, but I have no idea what else to cost me. I have plenty of time, before the summer we d that certainly not happen greetings from the Netherlands

Hello, I have the following 2 questions about the H number plate on which I did not find any clear answers at Google. 1) What about the rumor that the age of the oldies for the H number plate should be set up to 35 o. 40 years, or when should this regulation come into force? 2) A car with EZ. 07.1985 can also only be marked with H number plate 07.2015 or already in January 2015? Thanks and good luck in the new year! Andre

Hello, would like to tickle out some more power from the 500ccm. However, it should be, that I do not lose the H-mark. Unfortunately, the coal is not enough for a complete engine replacement, but I have read that you can probably also increase the displacement over distance rings. Does someone have experience with it here or has another suggestion to increase the power a little (H-mark conforms)? Greeting Timm

Hello together, it is possible to allow for a 07 registration (there are already 2 registration plates) a small motorcycle (also 30 years and rebuilt) – i.e. 50ccm. There are red registration plates for mopeds – but I would like to keep the existing red number. Unfortunately, I could not help with a demand at the registration office. Please give me a tip where (§ STVZO) I can get in touch. Thank you very much.

Hello Motor – Talker ! Since childhood engines fascinate me, a life without them is hardly conceivable for me. Besides the active Tractorpulling I have at home on a frame still an old OM636 (1.8 l diesel of MB). This already fulfills almost therapeutic purposes… . Once a month for 10 minutes at the gas grip, just great! Now I am looking for information or even a real Rolls-Royce Meteor engine. So the well-known V12 as the Tank Centurion, which was built for the first time from the mid-40s. Unfortunately I find only very few data. In Tractorpulling this engine is quite common, however, information or reference qellen can hardly be obtained. Years ago the Swiss army has sold such engines, unfortunately this source has also dried up. Who gave me more information about this mechanical jewel? MfG 124er Kombi
