I’ll keep a spare filter in the glove box from now on. I think whoever painted the old filler neck didn’t mask off the ends when they were spraying it. Might have a look in the tank and see what’s floating around in there

Hi, Gave the fuel hoses another check today, found that one from the fuel filter to pump was starting to collapse on the inside so I’ve replaced that, then found on the fuel filter neck on the incoming side was partially blocked with what looked like bits of paint. So all fuel hoses and filter now r ...

Hi, sorry it’s been a while! I’ve replaced the carb to manifold mount and the carb gasket, but problem still persists! I’ll check the carb float chamber needle valve next as that’s nice and simple job. I’m putting off doing the inlet manifold gasket for now as I want to rule out all the easy jobs fir ...

Hi, How would you perform a fuel line vacuum test? Would it be a case of removing the pump from the engine block with the hoses still attached and pumping the fuel tank hrough manually? I noticed the problem seems worse when the engine is warmed up, could this point to a dodgy ignition coil? I may ...

Thanks for the link. Been out in it again today, it’s fine if you’re just tootling along but as soon as you give it the beans and the speed increases it starts to cough and splutter. I think I’ll change the carb flange and manifold gasket as a matter of course, I did notice some greasy staining on th ...

Hi, thanks for reply
I did look for a lift pump, the only thing in the top of the fuel tank is the fuel gauge sender, I think only injection models had a lift pump fitted in the tank. Are there any other strainers or filters I should be looking for though?

Hi, I have a ‘91 GT2 fitted with a Weber carb, the carb was fitted around 3 years ago when I bought the car. When I’m driving and reach a speed of around 50-60 the car starts coughing and spluttering almost kangarooing! it seems worse going up hill. If I back off the throttle and slow down the pro ...

If Chris - mr alpine92 - doesn't have a spare one I can sell you mine as I'm unlikely to be fitting it. Hi, sorry for the late reply, definitely interested, just fitted a bulkhead patch not too happy with it as getting the cable to line up without rubbing is a nightmare! Just wondering how much you ...

Hi, sorry to revive an old thread but are these still available? If so I'm definitely interested. Got through a couple of clutch cables and would like a more permanent solution that doesn't involve hacking the bulkhead about.
Thanks

Hi, I have a '91 GT2 with a 1985 four button steering wheel, when I bought the car i removed the steering wheel to look at why it scraped on the ignition cowling, underneath the wheel insulation tape had been put on the plate which the stalks attach to. I peeled the tape off and every time I turned ...

Hi all, I have a '91 GT2 with a four button steering wheel date stamped '85, when I bought the car I noticed the steering wheel rubbed on the ignition cover so i took the steering wheel off to have a look, the part of the stalk controls under the steering wheel was covered in electrical tape so i ...

I managed to find an earlier one with removable bulb and fitted a white LED, much brighter than the old sealed unit ever was.

Hi, I've fitted a hidden key switch on my Rocco, the key can be removed in the on or off position, it was from ebay for about 3 quid. The visible part is only the size of a 5p so it can be well hidden
