Re: Engine Cutting Out
Sounds to me like it could be the ballast resistor, as it gets hot the voltage is dropping to low. Try a 12v coil straight from the fusebox or a separate ceramic ballast and a power from the fusebox. Thanks, a good friend made a ballast resistor up for me some time ago, I'll see if I can connect it...

Re: Engine Cutting Out
, I'll have to find a way of connecting the meter while the coil is still connected somehow, My meter came with optional crocodile clip probes, you could just use a couple of miniature crocodiles? Or a piece of wire inserted in the female plug before connection? There are no visible terminals to co...

Re: A bug in the forum?
Mainly seems ok for me. It has been occasionally buggy for a few days though, coming up with errors when trying to post.

Re: Engine Cutting Out
Thanks, I'll have to find a way of connecting the meter while the coil is still connected somehow, I'll think on that as I was wondering how to test the coils I have.

Re: Door handle lock matching to key
I think he means that he wants to alter the lock to work with an existing key. Unless I've read it wrong?!

Re: Engine Cutting Out
Thanks for the reply. I was thinking of looking at the carb next, and I think I shall do, but my gut feeling thinks it's something else as there is a finite pattern to it, as opposed to the randomness that a blocked carb can give. Like something is failing when the car is hot, and works again after ...

Engine Cutting Out
An issue which has just started - car will start from cold great, no problem, and will drive fine for half an hour or so. Then after a while at idle, the revs will start to get erratic/poor and it will cut out. Will start again straight away but will be lumpy and will cut out again at idle. If I lea...

Re: Car Capers Game
Yes that's right, there are various versions/cars. And yes, that price was reasonable!Andrew 2.8i wrote: ↑Mon Apr 22, 2024 7:07 pm I would imagine that the later versions of the game feature different cars than the earlier ones.

Re: The News
We've definitely lived through the golden age of comedy.. people can't work out what a joke or satire is anymore. Been said yo death, but you can't imagine Bottom or Monty Python being aired today! Just in case you don't know Tom, (as you're a fellow Bottom fan), there's a one off special programme...

Re: Capri on TV
Well I thought the first episode was tremendous, enjoyed it a lot. Gorgeous Capri the guy has, not a colour you see very often. I think it is Nevada Beige. I had loads of Fords in that colour back in my dealing days; it was very popular. I think the car is a 77 or 78 1.3L with optional vinyl roof a...

Re: Good Motoring News
I notice that the recently appointed blanket 20mph speed limit in Wales is to be scrapped, it will only apply to certain roads now. Due to a public backlash. Good!
