JINXY IS BACK !!!

Hiya guys, as you know I have been absent from the MK1 forums for a while, partly due to the unfortunate news that my Lovely Mica blue MK1 has terminal rot in all the usual places, the car has been stored in Bedford at a mechanic mates barn until he got a chance to take a proper look at the rot, but...

Re: TO CUT A FLAP... OR NOT CUT A FLAP ??

Cheers Jon much appreciated, yeah we had hoped to drop the tank a few inches anyway before cutting, those pipes on the back of the tank are a real pain in the A***, the pump is a high quality pump so should last a fair while, will let you know how we got on, just need measurements now, cheers, Jinx

Simple SC questions.

Hiya guys, the Alternator on an SC is different to an N/A one & I understand the SC one has no voltage regulator built into it, my questions is, where is the voltage regulator then ? is it on the SC loom somewhere or on the body ? secondly, the injector coil pack ( small finned silver box ) that...

Hi Guys, need some advice please, we have a 4-AGZE engine, C52 double hump gearbox with 4-AGZE engine back plate, but no starter motor, the standard starter motor doesn't fit due to the distance in the bolt holes being different distances apart to the holes in the gearbox on the right hand side &...

Re: Poly Bush question - Rear suspension arm

The bushes with the steel tube supplied need to be fitted to the rear arms, the ones without the steel tube go on the front & need to have your old tubes inserted, as you say to stop them being crushed, if you dont do this you risk throwing out your geometry on the front buy quite a bit, i never...
