If there is such a thing as an 'afterlife' you really don't want to come back as a starter motor, it's a hard life. Does the engine start/stop and run quietly once the starter motor has got it going ? Next , difficult to check but the real heavy current switch is in that mechanism at the front of t...

Sorry - its a 24V GT

Hi All, Just after some thoughts - My starter motor is straining to turn the engine over. At first I though it was the battery dying and stupidly went and bought a new one without checking charge voltages etc. If i hit the side of the motor with a heavy wrench etc, it will loosen and start up, albei...

I cant seem to get rid of this car! Tuesday was my 3rd nail biting ride home from Cheshire, waiting for something to go wrong, watching temp gauges etc. I had made up my mind to sell, missing the days of my C180 or my wife's Saab - get in and drive without fear of incident. As soon as I get home and...

So far, I've assumed that dipstick is for some purpose - always kept the water level at least half way up the dipstick. An overflow container ? Well, yes, but a little more sophisticated than that.

Currently considering this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/282083640616 - before I go ordering from the US.

Can someone point me in the direction of were to buy a new coolant cap for my 24V? Its the one to the lower right of the engine bay - that overflows into the reserve reservoir. I cant see anything convincing on eBay - the filler cap to the upper left of the engine is different to the cap to the lowe...

In a previous post I was enquiring as to the likely source of what I called a 'flappy noise' https://www.ukpoc.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=598&p=3584&hilit=floppy+noise#p3562 I have located the noise to around the timing belt area - found a youtube vid that is exactly like it - sounds less flap...

Had it on my old 2.5 when i put the new engine in one bolt loose,gave a sound similar to yours flappy noise on gasket vibrating till warm, Ahah! perhaps this is the answer - it does seem to get better as the engine warms. Trouble is my journey to work is so short, The engine is warm as I'm turning ...
