Plugs, leads etc your best place would have been LR Spares in Speke. I know. I paid the Halfords Tax, because the couple of plaes still open in Warrington had to order in, and halfords had them. I fancy putting them in tomorrow, unless I find that I'm going to need 3 arms to do one side or anything else equally silly. You ever worked on a Kar-Gas system? No, but they're all pretty much the same. Do you need a hand? Oh, by the way, plugs are easy.. Call me if you need a hand, I might be able to get my hands on an LPG reading Co2 meter (well, it's in Warrington), and I've got the HBoL for the Strangie. I'll have a bash at the plugs, leads and cap myself today as long as the |
if that sorts it.
Oh, what I do want is probably a second hand dash cluster if you know of
one anywhere. The speedo and all the lights etc work, the mileometer and
trip don't. So even though he sold it as 110,000 it has stopped at
100,010 so it might be starship, or it might be genuine. Drives OK
though.

Just be prepared to walk away from the Rangie if it's sheddier than B&Qs shed department. Looking at the photos, it will be fine, the ones underneath showed good metal.

It's a common bond men form from owning unreliable piles of shit. ; ) Yup, it mellows me out when I know there is always something to do on |

My plans were to wash all 3 and polish the Alfas. I managed this.
Then I replaced the steering column cowl on the 75 - old one was broken
and I scored a replacement on ebay. Also replaced the plastic gearknob
with a leather one.
What I failed to do was to replace the steering wheel - I gave it a good
hammering with a mallet, but it didn't work. I need a puller.
I then updated the pics on the website with some taken this afternoon
before sticking it under a fleecy lined waterproof car cover on the
drive.

Heh. Done everything you planned today? My plans were to wash all 3 and polish the Alfas. I managed this. Then I replaced the steering column cowl on the 75 - old one was broken and I scored a replacement on ebay. Also replaced the plastic gearknob with a leather one. Not exactly. |
In the end, putting the old set back on caused it to run better than
before, when the new set wouldn't fire at all.

with leaving the old on, and I'm going to return the new.
If one of the new ones was shorting somewhere, would that kill the whole
ignition process on all cylinders, or just the affected one?
