Re: Mk1 Sterling (manual) for sale

Hi, The belt hasn't been changed, I confident it would make it anywhere in the country, but with the expansion tank today it's unknown, sometimes it just turns over, will start momentarily then cut out, like trying to start a car that has run out of fuel. That'll be the PGM-Fi relay under the dash,...

Re: Mk1 Sterling (manual) for sale

Has the belt never been changed or not been changed in your ownership? What's the clutch, gearbox like? Does it tap when cold? Has it been regularly serviced? Hi, There is no evidence of the belt ever being changed, I had a full clutch fitted May 2016, the gearbox is fine, it has the usual tappet r...

Mk1 Sterling (manual) for sale

Hi Everyone, I've decided to sell my 1990 Sterling, I've owned this car since 2007, and it's proved very reliable over the years, however it's recently started to become a bit of a gamble, as far as it starting. Sometimes first time and subsequent times no problem, but not always. It used to do this...

Re: MK 1 1990 827 battery earth lead

Thanks for everyone's advice, just to update I went to a reputable auto electrician, and he inspected both leads (battery earth lead & short one from front slam panel)and declared them sound. So I cleaned things a little more, refitted, and all was well, no gremlins, bliss for about 10 days (umpteen...

Re: MK 1 1990 827 battery earth lead

Hi Dave,
Thanks for taking the time to reply and all of your advice and suggestions, I will look into the fusible links and fuse 'S'.

Kind regards

Re: MK 1 1990 827 battery earth lead

Hi Dave, Thanks for your reply, I'm looking to obtain the part itself. Problem #1 is without warning when I start the engine it immediately starts & cuts out, this I must say is very sporadic, could be fine for weeks, then do it several times in one day, when it occurs I wait about 5 mins then it wi...
