Hi guys, thanks for your replies.

I looked at the leak-stop and it says it works for leaks which take 5 or so days. So I think my leak's too rapid.

I'm glad there is leak detecting dye. Would ...

Hi guys. My other car (a Xantia) has a bad air con leak. She loses the gas in an hour. I've had a couple of garages look for the leak but they haven't found it. Anyone heard of a different method of l ...

Jaf heres the links to all of the posts ive found on using the dwell meter method.

Good job my car's a 1978 and doesn't have O2 sensors and other complicated things. My little brain says " ...

Erm, I've never heard of a method of using a dwell meter to set the fuel mixture. I thought the meter was only ever used to show how long the points are open? How did you connect the meter?

Very impressive list there! Thanks.

Hi ya Mike. Did it the uncomfortable way, upside down, hair in the steering rack! Somehow forgot how tricky a job it is from the wrong angles. Amazing how much mess I made. Got to play with the bonnet ...

Hi guys, hope you can help.

My car's a 1978 NA British registered. There's no paint code stickers anywhere and she's at least 4 colours of white. I've looked in the paint shop and they list Grand ...

Yes but you have to have MOT, tax and insurance everywhere else. Not just Gordon's a git. My car tax (for an 10 year old citroen) is more than my house tax. Although it's only 120 euro for the car, th ...

Thanks for your quick reply! It's great to have the cause confirmed.

I agree about the oil pressure. In 99 when the oil pressure suddenly dropped that was the only clue something was wrong, no cla ...

My dad, with 40 years of driving, got his first speeding ticket doing 38 in a 30 zone that was in fields. The police would never have done anyone for speeding there. It's all about the money! On a lig ...

Hi guys.

History: Have had my 1978 924 for 14 years. No service history, odo stuck at 25,000 miles. In 99 the big ends went when I was going a bit fast on the motorway. Replaced big ends but then d ...

I took the sump off with the engine in to do the big ends. I didn't think it was that hard, especially as I didn't need to take the crossmember off (didn't occur to me that I'd need to). A lot easier ...

The later cars don't use a relay? How strange. On my car you pull the lever to put the main beam on and then pull it again in the same direction to turn the main beam off again. There's no way of maki ...
