  1. I have a spare Lifeline column and boss you could try, but the trouble is that there is a little of the usual play in it. I bought a Rapfix which is brilliant but expensive.
  2. 1: John, IACV has been renewed. 2: Andrew, your first question is a good one, yes I do have to make it idle on the throttle for a couple of secs before it will cope on its own. 3: Battery has been discharged before, maybe a couple of times. Subsequently topped up, recharged and now on a conditioner. Do I trust it? - probably not. I had a problem with my previous EU2 K series when the battery died. Replaced it, and a few little gremlins went away. 4: I dont have any FIA switches, so a thorough look at wiring and earths is in order. 5: Immobiliser seems to work fine. Not sure what starter motor I have, suspect its standard, not a Brise item. I shall check. Thank you for the responses.
  3. No Ian, EU3 no distributor. Haven't checked plugs though. Seems obvious and Ive totally overlooked that. Maybe a solution without getting too deep.
  4. Cant get my 1.8K to start on the button anymore. Always needs a touch of throttle. If it turns over long enough it may initially catch, but not enough to start fully and dies. As mentioned before, with slight throttle, it starts fine. I had to change the air idle control as it started to hunt during idle, this fixed that particular issue, but this problem was evident before hand. Have reset TPS but still no joy. Any ideas please Thanks
  5. Dave, Do you have any lowered brackets left? Thanks Geoff
  6. Checked the pipe and cannot see any holes. But I think im going to go down the double gasket & sealant route as per Mankee.
  7. I replaced this little gasket before for leaking, and it has started again*grumpy* All the mating surfaces are as clean as clean can be before refitting What, if any joining compound should be used?
  8. Twas me. There was some good stuff there, not really into the Yank stuff there, but some had had some serious money spent on them.
  9. My daughter waving as we passed in red Golf nr Swanley
  10. I have a full set of closed chrome nuts that were used to hold the minilight type wheels on my old 97 DeDion K series. You are more than welcome to have them. All the chrome is in pretty good nick and shiny.
  11. Hi Very interested in the aeroscreen if it's the interchangable type. Is it possible to view at the weekend? (if it's not sold in the meantime) I am away for the rest of the week so unfortunately cannot make it sooner. I'm located not far from you near Purley, I could be with you Saturday morning if thats OK with you. Regards Geoff
