Hi Folks. Elen's H4 needs new 'P' seals on the targa top as they are starting to leak. What is the best source please (most parts seem to have disappeared from the Quantum Heritage web site and I'm not sure that the generic ones they still list are correct)? -- You received this message because y

change from inlet to outlet on these MAF sensors seems to make them less susceptible to non-laminar flow effects. Performance seems to be much as before but the annoying level of induction roar has gone. On May 8, 12:45 pm, Mark D-B wrote: > Hi Bill, > >   Our H4 has two brackets mount

Dear All, Elen's H4 had a nasty mishmash of rubber pipes, cable ties, some silly ignition-powered "turbo super-dooper fuel economy" fan, and a very tired K&N, for its air intake system when we bought it. No problem, thought I, and bought a complete RS1800 air filter box and intake system cheap

2010-04-12 Thread Mark D-B
Using a spring balance to lift the boot by means of a piece of rope round the lifting lug, with the gas struts disconnected, the balance reads 10kg. This works out at circa 485N needed between the two struts just to keep the boot open. 600N seems a bit marginal to me when there's a strong wind blow

Dear All, Elen's H4 has a rather tatty tax disc holder which I think is probably the original one (the car, so Internet research indicates, having been a factory demonstrator). Before I bin it, I wanted to check that I wasn't about to dispose of a rare item. The condition, as I say, is not great

Regarding "levelling comound read smoothing", I beg to differ - the cementatious latex levelling compounds are sufficiently thin that they are significantly affected by gravity and therefore do level, rather than smooth. This is not necessarily a good thing as your garage may not itself be level an
