Re: relays

Re: MOT advisories

Hi I would guess that the leak is probably a rocker cover gasket As for the blue smoke, it might be just due to where it has been standing, if all you do is taking it from home to the garage and it’s only done 50 miles then it’s possible.

Re: Sourcing 1996 v16 Distributor Parts

Hi John, I would also say that your dizzy is a S3. Where have you tried to source the parts?

Re: No hot air

as you say, it might be a stuck thermostat, it could be stuck open, or you may have an airlock, try having the car tick over and warm up with the cap on the engine removed, heater on full.
