Re: Carb acceleration problem

Could it be lack of use? When I bought my car there was a bit of hesitation under load, especially when accelerating hard from a constant speed. It wasn't used often and since I've had it I've been using it regularly and it's pretty much cleared it up.

Re: Window winder

Thanks for the reply, sounds tricky! The window is not in a frame, unless you mean the sort of stop at the front where the glass has a cut-out. What I think has happened is that over the years is that this stop has worn down so that the window winds up a bit too far, this in turn forces the window o...

Fuel gauge sender

Hi, The previous owner of my Fulvia replaced the original fuel tank with an aluminium one as the old one was shot. It's a lovely piece of workmanship and there is an invoice for over £200 for it! However, it must be a slightly different shape as the gauge reads 3/4 when full and 1/4 when empty. Is t...

I was given approximate prices of GBP300 for the cams and GBP800 for the exhaust, plus VAT!

Re: Hello all

I was speaking with a guy at Omicron and he was the one who suggested fitting "Rally" cams and a decent exhaust as one way to improve power.

I'll certainly book the car in for a timing check and possibly a rolling road tune up.

Thanks,
Dario

Re: Hello all

Yup, the previous owner said the doors, boot and bonnet were replaced with ali ones at some point. As you say, it'll be a steel frame which will explain the (cathodic - is this the correct term?) corrosion. Photo attached of the area that needs attention which has also reminded me of another job.
