Hi, My canvas is a bit worse for ware! Has anyone got a green canvas hood going spare for a Series 2/3 short wheel base? Cheers, Steve

Thanks James, In that case I'll save my money on the additive...

Thanks James, I edited last thread as it saved before I was finished. Cheers

Adjusted the float level and it improved significantly but was not quite right; still lacked power at the top end. This weekend it stopped running altogether - no spark but LT power to distributor was ok and points were sparking ok. The problem was the rotor arm would not turn. The drive...

Thinking about converting my S3 engine to electronic ingition upgrade... Any recomendations on which to go for and price? Much appreciated. sSteve

Need to check my timing. Anyone recomend a reasonable timing strobe?

Thanks, thats really helpful. I will give it a try, I persume you just bend the float to get the required distance as you would an old ballcock? Steve.

Hi, Anyone got any advice on how to adjust the carburettor float level on my Weber 34ICH, and what the setting should be. I'm struggling to find the info. I'd rasther do it right than trial and error if poss. Cheers

It seems like it is being starved...I will try it a bit higher - do you know what it should be? Cheers

what do I need to do to the float level? Cheers

My series 3 2.25 petrol is suffering from power loss. Its happened since I refurbished carb (Weber) It starts first time every time and will tick over all day long. On accelerating and particularly up hill it is very sluggish. Have tried adjusting carb but no better. Any ideas... Cheers

Rasheed, Fortunately my P38 is black so may give it a go. Cheers, Steve

Does that look better toan colour coded?

Cheers, Is the Satin Black a particular shade of black..? Steve.

Bumpers are scuffed and scraped on my 2001 P38. They are grey plastic. Can you get touch up cant that shade of grey? How much prep would I have to do to paint them black like rest of car as the plastic is not smooth like rest of body panels - anyone done this and do they look OK. Cheers

Wish I could get that - mines dropped to about 10mpg!

no roof rack, tyre pressures all OK, dont think theres a leak. The mpg display would not be affected by a leak would it - thought it was a measure of fuel injected into engine??

Changed the MAF a couple of weeks before the air filter but both in December. Could the O2 sensors be anything to do with it?

I already changed the maf...

Checked tyres - they were ok. Tried Shell Petrol rather than Jet - mpg gone up a bit to 10.4 ave from 9, but still can't get near what it was - about 14. This is on like for like driving.. Must be something not right?
