    Added lightness and even more if the wheel overtakes you

    Just a thought....The inertia switch has a`snap` connector plug for the wiring. The locating lugs on mine were moulded the wrong way around which could enable the plug to easily disengage. I reported it to CC at the time but haven`t heard back. Might be worth checking the plug is locked into the inertia switch properly.

    Modine is great as it works both ways, warms cold oil, cools hot oil and, adds lightness compared to a heavy cooler

    1. Fully open throttle by hand (mind your fingers!) Does it tend to stick open as you release it? 2. If it does, try easing off these 2 cap screws by a small amount (it helps to shorten the Alan key a bit) don`t go more than a sixth of a turn ( ACW 1 Alan key flat) as you could move the TPS and that would not be good! 3. If the throttle was stuck open, did it release when you eased the screws off? 4. try throttle for smooth open / close with with no sticking (by hand)

    I know it`s too late but.......my MOT man said that as long as the split was sealed it would be ok and to use any black sealant (silicone etc.) They do tend to split/fret quite easily.

    In my experience the problem is that the 2 throttle pot. screws are too tight by about a quarter of a turn which causes the spindle to lock at full throttle......crack them off a bit and give it a try. The TPS should have sandwich plates either side of it but some do not!

    Nice one! Is the dash a CC option or a special?
  11. Tom_Arundel
    Yes!
  12. Tom_Arundel
    Why not cut down your existing plate? Sizes are on Gov. website
  13. Tom_Arundel
    Yeh, we all do that as we get older

    Cover has a reusable rubber seal but check it for small `nicks` and make sure it stays in position whilst you refit it (can get trapped). RTV or Hylomar the bearing caps (as you said). Torque 10Nm or 7 lb ft. All fairly straight forward.....enjoy

    12 years with nothing done anywhere no additives, no take outs,and no problems. I think many owners get a bit OTT with unnecessary stuff, it`s just a car at the end of the day

    As an aside....I put 2 spanner flats on mine to avoid the hex socket/De Dion tube, so I can fill it thro` the boot floor without jacking the car up.....One of my better mods!

    and, probably,- better roads, no potholes, no cats eyes, no loose manhole covers, no speed humps, bricks, timber, etc.,.....not to mention Hedgehogs!!!

    Don`t forget 620 is significantly heavier ( maybe 70 Kgs ) than the sigma so will never feel the same, especially at the front end.

    That looks like a casting defect (sand inclusion), could be filled with aluminium putty.
  24. Tom_Arundel
    That`s probably why they cost so much in the first place!
