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. Very noisy for the few seconds i let it run. They reimbursed me but I wouldnt trust them again. it

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

Re: Central locking
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 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 ...

Heavy gear change
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...
