Perhaps check the wire on the oil pressure sender by the oil filter it may have come adrift or is loose, did you change the oil filter when you changed the oil? (I assume the correct oil quantity had been used, check the dipstick?)

Well done! I might try that next weekend, it can be done them with out a complicated door removal.

I also have a broken spring on my S2 Coupe, I have had a new spring from Omicron for a while, however I suspect it will need the door and possibly the hinge to be removed to fit the new spring. I did look to fit it in situ but it looks to be difficult or impossible, I am interested to see if anyone ...

Look on the home page of this site, documentation is available on CD

Are the precision built oil pumps for Fulvia still available, I have an old one ready for upgrade or exchange.

I would recommend the use of an accurate rpm meter, my S2 with Dellortos has been on a rolling road this week and the rev counter overheads by 200 rpm, now nicely set up and smooth with 91 bhp after some recent engine work.

The VDO sender is M14 x 1.5 thread - 150c, their part number is (was) 323.805/003/001 if you want to fit that brand.

I removed the blanking plug in my 1.3 S2 base, and fitted an appropriate VDO sender after checking the thread size and fitted an auxiliary VDO oil temperate gauge, leaving the clock in place.

Hi Tom, I would be tempted to remove the radiator out of the car and get it professionally flushed and tested, it may need a new core if badly blocked. Does the heater work ok, you might have an air lock in the system. Neil

Chris, well done sounds like an interesting purchase, when do you expect to have it back home? You would be most welcome to attend the the Surrey LMC meeting with a number of Fulvia owners in regular attendance on the 3rd Thursday of the month (evening) at the The Abinger Hatch, near Dorking, let me...
