    misfire/loss of power under acceleration.

    Hi everyone, I posted a few weeks ago regarding the poor running of my car and possible fuel starvation. I check the fuel lines were clear and upgraded my electric fuel pump to a Facet silver top and removed the fuel filters I had to solely rely on the changeable one in the filter but this...

    Main fuel line replacement

    Im still experiencing issues with fuel starvation to the point of the car cutting out on hills. Firstly I want to rule out any restrictions in the main fuel line to the front of the car. Can anyone recommend the correct pipe that I should be using? I believe that there are currently plastic...

    Occassional fuel starvation

    Hi All, I'm a little perplexed by my current problem. Last week I experienced what I think is fuel starvation for the first time since I cured my vaporisation issues and relocated the fuel pump to the rear (Facet Posi-flow). It first happened last week when I kicked down to join the motorway...

    Fuel system and pump relocation options.

    I am currently reading up about relocating my Facet pump to the rear ( something I should of done ages ago!) and can't seem to find any information on how the fuel system works as I believe there is a return to the tank? Does anyone had a basic diagram? I'm not bothered about retaining the...

    Door locks and barrels wanted

    My drivers door lock doesn't work at all. If you turn the key it drops the plunger but pressing the button simply opens the door. I've dismantled the the lock and barrel and there appears to be an awful lot of play. So therefore Im looking for a set of front door locks with keys.

    'Buzzing BW65

    It always seems that as soon as one problem is sorted then another raises its head :roll: The car is running really well now but the brakes needed bleeding so after bleeding them this afternoon ( I'd already moved the car out of the garage and onto the driveway to do the job and didn't hear...

    Advice on using my dishwasher to clean my carbs.

    I have totally stripped my carbs back to the bare bodies and have cleaned as much gunk as possible from them using paraffin but there are some stubborn bits of muck in some of the nooks and crannies. Putting aside the potential lingering smell can I use the dishwasher to give them a final...

    Su carb rebuilder recommendation

    The local company that I was going to use to primarily fit new spindle bushes to my HIF6 carbs and maybe do a full rebuild isn't taking in any new work for at least 3 weeks and is then quoting at least a further 8 weeks to get them done! Can anyone recommend a company that they may have used in...

    Tobacco leaf spotted in Suffolk

    I seem to keep spotting P6 s when I'm away camping for the weekend. This time I saw an M plate one in tobacco leaf in the village of Little Glemham, Suffolk. I couldn't see what model it was though. My thoughts lead to Suffolkpetes car. Anyone know the vehicle?

    It's that time of year again

    That time of year has arrived again when the apprehension kicks in.....MOT time! I don't think I have anything to fear but even my meticulously maintained modern cars have advisories; my wife's Corsa scraping a pass but nearly failing on handbrake efficiency (it did officially fail until they...

    Wiper motor grease

    I'm in the process of giving my wiper motor and delay unit a service and was wondering what tyre of grease I should use. The workshop manual does specify the grease but I already have some LM grease that I use on wheel bearings. Would this be suitable?

    Buckskin ET headrests wanted to swap with black ones.

    Bit of a long shot this one. I have black ET's in my car that came from my original ebony cloth box pleat interior but I changed over to buckskin boxpleat vinyl and have the headrests fitted. I will probably have to go down the route of re-coluring them but wondered if anyone has some buckskin...

    I think it's time to sort out this leak!

    After all the work to get my car to maintain a steady and healthly engine temperature I think its time I address the water leak I have. The leak wasn't obvious some months ago as I couldn't see any evidence under the car BUT I did have to top up the coolant from time to time. The crunch came at...
