Hillman Vehicle Directory

Cylinder head gasket failure and severe thermal warping on the all-aluminium 875cc Coventry Climax-derived engine in the Hillman Imp due to neglected coolant flushing or airlocks.

Severe structural corrosion hidden in the box-section front cross-member, sills, and rear leaf spring hanger mountings across the Hillman Avenger and Minx ranges.

Second-gear synchromesh ring wear and cold shift balking on Chrysler four-speed manual gearboxes fitted to the Hillman Avenger.

Perished Rotoflex rubber drive couplings ('doughnuts') on the Hillman Imp, causing violent drivetrain snatch, vibration, and dangerous driveshaft detachment if neglected.
