E5 cleaned up my fuel system very nicely after I bought the car. Judging by the poor maintenece everywhere else, the previous owner would have been using supermarket fuel. The car had an irratic tickover and low power at tickover causing stalls. One dose of fuel treatment and E5, slowly over about 2...

have you modded lights as theres only one reverse light on Uk Probes have you a picture :?: if you have 2 clear lenses l/R it may not be wired up try putting the fog light switch on and see if the bulb lights up :idea: & if the bulbs not painted red, or removed, it's an MOT fail :shock: Same if you...

sad to say this company sold me a poorly recon dizzy masquerading as a new. it looked good but the location spigot was 0.5mm undersize making it impossible to centralise it on the axis of the camshaft. Very noisy for the few seconds i let it run. They reimbursed me but I wouldnt trust them again. it

I hope you are right BUT always carry a good spare dissy in the boot................just in case.

as John says! Dissy is notorious for everything you describe. Also remember that any break in the CPS circuit will cause a no start whilst cranking ok.

Drop links will definitely cause an erratic knock. Easy and cheap to change. Check the roll bar bushes too.

I had a similar problem with a stiff lock drivers side, in fact the key refused to go fully home so I couldnt open or lock from the drivers side. I took the lock out completely and took it apart, cleaning all the fingers till they moved freely. Put it all back together and it all works beautifully. ...

handbrake, even when properly adjusted is crap. How it passes I do not know but it wont hold the car on a steep gradient. Rear calipers are nothing but trouble too. Handbrake lever Siezing up being the big issue and that might be worth checking. I never use it unless I have to, i.e. a car behind me ...

I dont live anywhere near London but if I did I think I would try and fix the problem with a change of mayor next year. Send a message to all the other tinpot dictators waiting to see how far he can push people arownd at the same time. It wouldnt be so bad if they were putting the money back into th...

Definitely time for oil change, but also could be clutch not releasing properly.

The clutch breaks quite high with lots of travel left and it’s similarly only done 22k so I’ll put that down as a vote for the oil. Thanks Andy.

The flying machine has gradually been getting harder to get into gear. It seemed to get heavier over winter so worse for the lay up suggesting water contamination in the oil. Low gears are worst but all are affected. Obviously it’s a fault with the synchro but I’m suspecting the oils got a bit stodg...
