It's knowing those sort of people that is so important and you being in the trade are already at an advantage. For the rest of us it's trying to find anybody with the knowledge or even the desire to help out. :( In that vein, if anybody can suggest or recommend an organisation to look at my T16 tur...

Excellent news on finding the engine problem and being able to sort it. I note your list of issues and I shall be watching to see how you get on. Mentioning the sourcing of parts etc is a great asset to those that follow. I'll stick my opinion in; unless you really want to rebuild, you can just buy...

Ooooh boy is part hunting fun for these these days! After a lot of searching, part number cross referencing and raiding the Honda parts bin I have finally sussed brakes all round for it. Guess who forgot he put 285mm callipers & carriers on it years ago? :oops: Going by the service history it's not ...

Interesting diagnosis! Strange how it would still sort of drive with the "wrong" TPS? We haven't had the engine apart, so don't know when that happened. Looks like my classic friendly garage who changed the sump my have been a bit rustic on the old girl! You should have taken the spares turbo coupe...

Right. Well.... That was quicker than anticipated. :mrgreen: [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/shorts/UrO8AeOPY5g[/youtube] And the ubiquitous, slightly sketchy, drive around the private closed industrial estate.

Belting info that, Dusan Sorry if it came across a bit strong, I've learned an awful lot on correct diagnostic approaches over the last 4 years or so and it's one of those where I know that particular car very well and it's quirks (at least the ones from when I owned it!) So hearing about it misbeh...

Update: There is no update...Garage have had the car for nearly a fortnight working on it now and again and "He is very puzzled..." Ongoing... Let's see if I can help at all. What's the exact symptoms? When did they start? What's been changed to date trying to resolve? Sometimes a fresh approach he...

TB2 passed MOT today. Phew! Have been recommended a local garage who are supposed to be very good at fault finding so I will take TGM there for some looking at. If it's CTS based issue, you'll need to check all the LPG relays as one of them is used to short a known resistance across the CTS to fool...

It's just been delivered. It is rated for 135 HP, so should be OK. Hopefully get on to it on Saturday. Should be fine if pootling around, the old one was a 200hp rated unit that JUST kept up enough with the gas pressure wound up off it's rocker. The LPG reducers are rated badly, they assume folks a...

And you didn't swing by mine so I could see my old girl all done up! :lol: Where are you Dusan, and I'll make a point of it if passing? [/quote] Home is Cambridge. Work is Huntingdon. Drop me a line 07768 812968 or work phone 01480 764368 I would love to see my old car in the metal again. Just been...

Update: Put the mudflaps on TB2. Oh and I have bought a Vitesse Coupe. Harry and I traveled down to Slough in TGM, bought the Coupe and we drove in convoy to Daves and picked up some Coupe spares before returning to base. Harry got 380 miles on a tank of lpg and I have filled the Coupe. Pics to fol...

Wondered where you'd been hiding! Good to hear you're still alive and doing well! :wink: :D Same to you sir! Been busy beyond belief but finally getting there. Employees next month even! If you're not busy on the 9th March by the way give me a shout. I'll be in your neck of the woods that day ;-)
