Gear change
The Flying machine is in first class running order apart from one thing! Stiff gear changing - and occasionally gear crunching! My reccolection of my 16v was that you could change gear with the lightest push on the gearstick but with the FM its a very firm tug. Oil has been renewed and linkage has b...

Re: No hot air
Hi Charles. Very familiar problem to me on my 16v. I dont know if you can get the same issue on a 24v, but the problem was the heater was air locked.

Re: E10
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...

Re: Misfire/stutter
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.
