Re: Thunderbird 2, The Green Machine & Turbo Coupes

Update on TGM. Now MOT'd and back in service. New rear discs, pads, a ball joint, new LPG Reducer, and a new rear tyre. Had a bit of difficulty with the emissions even on LPG. Think it might be a Lambda sensor issue as the voltage on the King diagnostic software is showing a voltage of about 2.2 V. ...

Re: NSF Indicator Lens Mk2

Cancel that, Just found one on the bay of E after not finding one earlier. In fact I have now found several after using "Passenger" instead of NSF.

NSF Indicator Lens Mk2

Anyone got an NSF indicator lens for a 99 fastback or saloon?

The Green Machine needs one and I've used the pair I got from Dave. It looks like the glue has failed and the Perspex has parted from the body. No doubt from that bump my Son denies happened...

Re: Thunderbird 2, The Green Machine & Turbo Coupes

Other Coupe now in my unit.
I blame you Dave ! ;-)

ETA. AS this Coupe is the same colour as my other one, I'll see how long it takes the other half to notice I have bought yet another car... I haven't told her yet...

Re: Thunderbird 2, The Green Machine & Turbo Coupe

I am working away this week (Cheshire, not offshore - much easier when the wellheads are on land!) and off to Germany (Holiday) for two weeks after that. I do have space, so I'll see if I can get a price for transport. Can't see it go to waste for that price...

Re: Thunderbird 2, The Green Machine & Turbo Coupe

Tinley Tech supplied a plug and tail for the solenoid and an M12 to M10 adapter for a few quid each. I made up a new bracket and installed the new unit yesterday afternoon. It fired up and eventually switched to gas. Tested joints with soapy water and nipped up the LP supply to the injectors. Seems ...

Re: Thunderbird 2, The Green Machine & Turbo Coupe

I did look at that but the diameter of the "pin" of the solenoid is different.

ETA: Gas pipe adaptor and plug with wire ordered from Tinley Tech. I'll just cut and solder the temp sensor wires.

Re: Thunderbird 2, The Green Machine & Turbo Coupe

Update: TB2 clutch hydraulics now repaired. .Back in service. TGM: I have removed the old lpg unit, but unable to progress due to wiring issues. I need some plugs with some wire tails to allow me to splice into the existing loom. It will be interesting to see if there is a change in performance as t...

Re: Thunderbird 2, The Green Machine & Turbo Coupe

Thanks Dave. I won't get a chance to look at it until Saturday as I'm working away this week. Come to think of it, I'll only get back home if I can find some petrol.... Fault described as high emissions and a smell of gas from the engine bay. I'll have to download the "King" interface to plug into t...

Re: Thunderbird 2, The Green Machine & Turbo Coupe

TB2 still waiting for attention to the clutch hydraulics. I will also have to check the handbrake/rear callipers as there is excessive travel now the new pads/discs have bedded in. I'll follow Dave's set up guide. TGM: MOT failed I'm afraid to say. Issue with the LPG which won't pass emissions. Will...
