Bad news, got hit by a lorry a week ago :( The asshole just kept going and I didn't even get the plates cause it was dead black and raining and no street lights... The front was crumpled on the right right and the headlight, indicator and bumper were smashed. The right front fender was a bit crumple...

Just got my 16v going again
Hi everyone! A while back I grew sick of my 16V as there were so much work to get it proper. And since I had another car that was somewhat problem free (an old -65 Amazon) I decided to let the 16V rest for a while... It's been sitting for a year now and I finally got the urge to get it back on the r...

Hehe, the family resemblance is uncanning ;) The tires are Bridgestone Potenza, basically road legal slicks... to bad they're getting old though, the grip used be amazing, now they're at the point of being dangerous. If the road is damp it's like driving on ice... If I can afford it, I will be buyin...

I tried bridging the connectors to the sensor, and the lights didn't go on any more. So at least I've located the problem in my case. prm: You may be right, but my money is on the sensor being faulty. At least in my case. If the problem persists even with a new sensor, I'm going to give your experim...

Re: head
Over here we class "decking" as just taking enough material off the cylinder head to ensure it is straight or true, i.e. removing any distortion. We "skim" the head by however much depth or thickness we take off after "decking" Well that is how we call it in Lincolnshi...

Thought I'd introduce myself, or rather, my car :) My parents bought the car as barely used back in '91. I was learning to drive at the time so I spent many hours driving it and when I finally got my license I got to borrow the car over the weekend! :D Me and a mate practically lived in the car that...

Re: sensor
Hi Petwar As I said in my previous post have a look at the actual sensor in the bottom of the water bottle. It is a simple job to remove it and woul dbe my first point of call. Cheers Luke It was replaced when I renovated and decked (is that the proper word?) the cylinder head about two years ago.....

I went ahead and started looking at the car during my lunch hour. A colleague checked the coolant level while I was revving and what do you know, the lights lit up but the level in the reservoir didn't move an inch! Using the flashlight was no use, so we ended up checking the level by simply taking ...
