When mine gets done I will find out whats possible and come back to you. Not going to be cheap, but you have to have a good one. Was just advised that UK post will not accept parcels over 2kg - they have to go via courier (DHL etc), so postage of an idler wont be cheap.

Can you get a pressure gauge on the fuel line? Maybe the tank return is blocked...Should only see 2-3 psi, more could overpower the needle & seat.

On the P3 we had I found it very difficult to understand how the clutch throwout linkage worked - worn linkage might be worth checking for ? Do you have any documentation on the P3?

Next question. Have tried to reset hot idle a couple of times, but after its fully hot after maybe 10kms it becomes unstable - sometimes coming to stop at lights rpm drops as though its about to stall, then recovers by itself to 7-800rpm. There is some lost motion in the linkage on the offside...

Checked the prop shaft UJs? That would be a much easier and cheaper job.

Pretty rare car that could do that without dropping the gearbox - the manual versions of Porsche 928 can do it because they have a transaxle at the rear, and a funny short shaft at the front clutch with a joiner to the actual drive shaft. Probably the 924/944 also. Why do you need to do the...

No, not without getting the gearbox input shaft out of the clutch plate. IIRC the gearbox comes out up through the interior - remove the gearbox cover, disconnect the prop shaft, support engine on a jack, unbolt bell housing from the engine, disconnect clutch operating link, lift box clear of...

Rebuilding the rocker assemblies is a bit of a job - not really hard, but has to be done right. The aftermarket shafts didnt come with the notches mentioned in the workshop book. I drilled out the plugs in the end of my shafts, and the interior was full of oil gunk, that could easily block the...

Definitely need a filter with a non-return valve! Used to be branded AC (Arthur Champion), with an external seam around the middle.

Quattro, I havent asked a detailed question of any of the recalibration shops yet - when I had the speedo overhauled the wallet shock was considerable and some harsh words were exchanged. Cant go back there! Especially galling was the CLOCK cost more than the speedo to overhaul, then found the...

Speedo has been overhauled recently (at some expense!) so I doubt its an issue in there - very steady readings. Most likely due to fact that I have changed the gearbox, and where the P6 4 speed box seems to have a 2:1 speedo cable drive gear, the LT77 is (now) 5:2 with the orange 20 tooth driven...

Yes, it should follow how a person likes their name pronounced. Its a bit like Churchill's (?) comment about American pronunciation - 'Two countries separated by a common language'. Our PM was in US recently. Normal pronunciation of his name here is 'Alban-easy' , where the yanks said...

Sounds like an electrical problem to me. Undo and clean as many ground/earth connections as you can readily reach, including the battery, and its positive lead, and the coil. Where is the Huco pump supplied with power, and grounded? Also check youir fuses for clean. Deoxit as many connections as...

Have been stewing on this years now, ever since we started watching QI. Re Alan D - is it my ears, or is his name being pronounced 'Dav-iss' , despite being spelled 'Davies', which we (Strines) would pronounce 'Dav-ees'? Or something in between? Is it normal to pronounce both these spellings...

Thanks, good to know. Dont seem to have a Vic branch....

Mike - does your msg mean they have done a P6 diff for you, and it was satisfactory? Mine is looser than I like.....

Elsewhere noted some speedo issues due to the LT77 install - showing close to 40kph when GPS says 60. With some difficulty changed the cable driven gear from 22 to 20 teeth - barely any change in speedo reading, certainly not the calculated +4 kph. Bugger. Just have to keep using the tacho and...

The problem I struck with SD1 S2 wheels (should be same with S1) is that these wheels are hub centered, not bolt centered. Since there is no hub at the rear, you need the bolt shanks to be a good fit in the wheel, and properly centered. I bought a set of nuts from USA and half of them had...

On my LT77 install I checked the flange angles with the engine/gearbox and diff set where I thought it would finish up, and the angle between them was < 2d...BUT the final rear gearbox mount install almost certainly changed that a little. Proof being in the pudding, so far up to ~ 110kph I have...

More info. The std P6B speedo for MPH is 1248 turns (of cable) per mile, a KPH speedo is 780 turns/km. Based on std tyre dimensions of 185-70R14 these should do 518 revs/km, which is 1597 revs of the prop shaft. At those revs of the engine in top gear the speed is 60 kph. If the speedo takes...

Thats the plan......

If 22 teeth red gear gave me 40kph at GPS 60kph, going to an orange 20 teeth gear will only give me an indicated 44kph at true 60. Where do I go from here - recalibration?

Just in case it may be useful to others doing an LT77: Speedo drive gear (mechanical drive , alloy housing on left rear) - many different gears around for different installation, colour coded. I was led to believe a red gear was correct for a P6 with 3.08 diff. On the road it showed 40 when...

Second time around with HIF6s I used the book method - steel rule on edge across the bridge, set the jet level with the bridge, then turn jet screw in 2.5 turns. Further testing and checking with a wide band O2 sensor prompted a further richening of 1/4 turn. No problems at all, satisfactory...
