Many thanks, I'll give it a try.

During a race my car developed a bad missfire at anything over about 3000 rpm under load. Out of gear it revved freely. When missfiring the tacho would flick to zero. The battery is fully charged. The engine is pretty standard with Lumenition ignition. Any suggestions gratefully received. Thanks.

Well it's working now, and you were absolutely right about it being something silly - me !. It seems that black wires don't necessarily always go to the negative terminal !. Many thanks again.
-
Will do. Looking at the above it appears that the brown one should be supplying 12v to the switch. I can't see a fuse for it anywhere. Many thanks.

All wiring to battery seems OK. I have been over it with a multimeter and there is no continuity between any of the wires going into the ign. switch and the +ve terminal on the battery, which seems odd.
-
Tried to start car and it would barely crank. Battery is pretty old so replaced it with new fully charged one. The car is now stone dead electrically. There appears to be no power going to the ignition switch. The wires going into the switch are brown x 2 and brown/green on one terminal, white x 2 on another terminal, and black and red/white on the third terminal. Does anyone know which one of these is supposed to supply + 12v to the switch ?

Thanks for the replies - I thought as much. As a matter of interest, are bikes emission tested for MOTs ?. If so, is there any reason why a standard bike engine in a car would have a problem ?

I have just heard that a bike engined car does not have to meet the MOT emissions test for a car if the passenger seat is removed. This seems a little unlikely to me, can anyone shed any light on the matter

No relation, and can only dream of getting an FTD anywhere ! -

You can't change the ratios and it has synchromesh. -
This looks really interesting. Is there any chance you could write up how you fitted them in Blatchat ?
-
They also seem to require the heatshield for the MOT test

Thanks Mav, in that case it's 3.75"

If they are slicks they are probably from a FF Zetec, the 1600s use treaded tyres. I have a FF Zetec and the wheel studs are 67mm apart. I'm afraid I don't know how to measure pcd but if someone tells me how I'll go and do it. If it's the diameter of the stud pattern, that is 3.75" Edited by - andy oliver on 8 Oct 2006 13:44:14
