Re: Thunderbird 2, The Green Machine & Turbo Coupes

I have a hunch based on Dusans comments further up. Get the garage to change the LPG switch to petrol only, let it warm up for ~15 minutes on petrol and then switch over.

See if that improves matters............

Re: Manalishis Mk 1a 827 Vitesse (manual)

Fingers crossed it solves your problem Henrik, those CKP sensors are NLA (some places in the USA occasionally have aftermarket versions but rarely) but luckily they are usually reliable. The ECU could have been partly immersed in water if the sunroof ever leaked or it could just be a dry joint in it...

Re: Manalishis Mk 1a 827 Vitesse (manual)

Dave, you can discard my PM. I’ve found the ECU and it’s the one I thought. Your link is probably the wrong one But I’ve found the correct. 37820PL2B03 There are a few available from Spain which is perfect. I need to understand the serial numbers though as they differ. Any ideas? I've just read and...

Re: 1989 Rover 827 Vitesse automatic

Check the video at 3:15, RA21 Celica identical to one i used to own followed in by a Targa top 300ZX (early one), 4:55 a later 300ZXTT Targa, also somewhere between those a green 260Z parked, 6:20 parked 300ZX Targa (possibly the one that came in @ 3:15 ish), 6;50 ish, Honda NSX and i'm sure i've mi...

Re: 1989 Rover 827 Vitesse automatic

There is what looks to be a USA spec 280Z (we only ever got the 280ZX here in the UK) or possibly a 260Z (my eyesight got the better of me when i watched and my memory doesn't help) at one point in the video : https://youtu.be/MUwYsh5YjtY Worth a watch when you have a spare 10 minutes, very enjoyabl...

Re: Manalishis Mk 1a 827 Vitesse (manual)

I hope your theory is wrong Henrik! I didn't mention pulling fuse S as i suggested disconnecting the battery before you started on the multiplugs which would have done the same thing - or should have done! Have you had any battery problems/flat battery or similar recently on the car? Unfortunately ...

Re: 1989 Rover 827 Vitesse automatic

Superb Marc - i watched your video as well! Something that amazed me, out of all the rare and some of them, very rare cars there, not one single C210 or C110 Skyline! Spotted the R32/33/34 models (tricky at times to tell the difference on those) and all the Toyota Crowns from the very old to the ver...

Re: Fastback's cars.

I've done a few similar Mark and also upgraded/updated the "baby biscuit tin" contacts to proper microswitches, the rockers need a minor mod to use them (can't remember what just now) and they're easy to solder onto the contact pads that the original contact would normally short together. I'll see i...

Re: 1989 Rover 827 Vitesse automatic

Thanks Marc - the beauty of it is that being copper, it will never rust out again!

Might be making another one for my mates 75 V6 although i think he has robbed a spares car now.......
