TomB Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Ah - I expect not as the OEM one has a Lucas 3 pin plug - one of these http://www.polevolt.co.uk/acatalog/info_ALTLCS.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyCliff Posted December 5, 2016 Author Share Posted December 5, 2016 That does look quite different to what I had on the old unit unfortunately.I've started looking at trying to get a recovery of the car up to Phoenix Motorsport as I'm beginning to appreciate that without a decent area to work in I'm really going to struggle to get it back running (I think the alternator is the start of the running issues).

RyCliff Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 SOLVEDSo I ended up getting the car trailered up to Phoenix in Accrington on Wednesday last week.Within half an hour of it arriving there Ollie had given it a check over and found that my car runs an older stepper motor system on the air intake.Turns out this was causing all the issues I've had with idling, starting and what I thought was fuelling. He has taken it off and given it a clean up. Car runs sweet as a nut now, did a 100 mile drive without the slightest of running issues.I've just got a couple of little electrical niggles with lights now and the stack still sometimes gives the wrong RPM (which has caused the needle to snap), but I'm now happy to say I've got a car that is running brilliantly. It even seems to be much lighter on fuel use.Ollie even gave the car a full check over saying he reckons it's in mint condition which is always satisfying to hear. Chassis looks no more than 3 or 4 years old compared to others he has seen in the past!In short, definitely recommend Phoenix Motorsport :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative paul richards Posted December 12, 2016 Area Representative Share Posted December 12, 2016 Glad it turned out OK. Ollie at Phoenix is a good guy and knows his K series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyCliff Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 Haha cheers Tom.She still hasn't warmed to the car completely but she's little a bit more tolerant. Can only get better whilst the car is in storage!My new local meet is the Merseyside one so will have to catch you there at some point in the new year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twincamtim Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I knew Ollie would sort you out once you got the car to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
