hiya red, i wondered the same thing about them being copies mate ??? on the subject of the plugs they are set to 0.7 and are less than a week old . rick.

hello all , has anyone ever experienced problems with magnacor leads ? the leads i have fitted at present are only 6mths old bought of a guy on ebay brand new . running on petrol is ok but, on lpg it runs a bit poor , ive gone through the lpg system and also checked the settings on my laptop...

not if your running lpg and present it on lpg . rick.

bloody hell mate i bet yer arse is still stinging :D . rick.

a sniff test of the cooling system will tell you in a flash if there are combustion gases present , i would be very cautious tbh. give it a good run i.e 40 or 50 miles , watch the temp gauge and it should stay just a tiny bit under the middle , maybe rising to the middle if its a warm day and...

no sorry my mate im keeping my p38 :) . unless you are extremely lucky if you pay less than 3k for a p38 all you get is a money pit , or a codged up piece of sh*te and there`s plenty of them out there :) . when i bought mine 18mths ago or so , i paid just over 3k for it , but it was the spec i...

plugs and or leads ?????????. rick.

my 97 my hse has 160000 + on the clock and i would gladly put it up against any of these so called low mileage motors ! . as with any motor maintainace os the key , as for the suggestions about being only worth a couple of grand with this kind of mileage on the clock well i wouldn`t let you sit...

maybe wills is the best one to answer this for you kevin he seems to be a bit of an aircon guru ( sorry wills ) :) , i think there is a switch under the passenger side front plumbed into the aircon that controls the fans , as i say though wills im sure can tell you far better than i can . rick.

and all this knowledge coming from a bloke who doesn't know when the v.c is stuffed on his car :confused: :confused: :confused: . i certainly know whos advice i would follow :rolleyes: :) . rick.

what eight is saying is that single point is just to old tech for a modern ecu controlled engine. the point he is making about the mixer is the restrictive design of the mixer reduces dramatically the amount of air that can be drawn into the engine , thus reducing the power output , if an engine...

not quite so mate last year i changed my original head unit for a more upto date sony head unit and auto changer , i got an adaptor lead of a company who advertised on ebay cosy £29.00 and i used just one aerial lead and its always worked a treat ive never had a problem recieving any station . rick.

hiya my 97my 4.6 hse had a single point system fitted when i bought it , it was bobbins , it was also proffessionally installed :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: by the company you mentioned , when i rang for some advice i spoke to the most arrogant cretin you could imagine , so , off the lot...

i have access to autologic, but i believe the afm wont show up as faulty ? im not sure just what ive been told . since refitting the original afm the car has never run better !!!!!!!!!!!! , all i did was spray the contacts with switch cleaner . rick.

throw the fookin rad in the bin and fit a new one mate !!!!, while your at it check the vent pipe from the top of the rad to the header tank for blockage not forgrting the nipples that the hose goes on to , if you have brown crud in the cooling system this is the route i would take , its...

hiya mate the canister you refer to is what they call the evap unit , the purpose of it i think is to deal with excess fuel vapour from the tank , i dont think it a serviceable item , just a sealed unit . one pipe comes from the surge valve as you say and the other goes to the fuel tank . rick.

just changed the afm back to the original , after spraying contact terminals with switch cleaner , took it for a run , and its spot on cheers eight :) , just shows you only get what you pay for ffs ( i should know better really !!!!!!!! ) thanks again mate . rick.

cheers eight , you may well be right there mate . rick.

my p38 gems engined 4.6 has developed a flat spot on petrol , its most noticeable when you rev the engine from idle , as soon as it comes of idle the flat spot is there until you reach around 1800 rpm :confused: . if fitted new plugs , the leads are magnacor about 6 mths old , ive changed the...
