One breakdown chap advised new HT leads were needed, another that there was carbon in the distributor, what do you think? It starts/runs excellently if used every day and after a visit from the breakdown service. Thanks Joe Quote Reply #3

Sounds electrical, but would not rule out fuel pressure regulator. Lancia had a problem with that too!

It's a beauty all but one thumbnail sized lifting of the paint on the underside rear edge of the offside rear wing, plus some slight scratches in same location on both sides. I am looking at repainting underside edges of both rear wing edges, and applying some form of protectant, such as a nice thick layer of waxoyl once the job is complete. 1. Is this repair a standard, feasible repainting task? 2. How much is it likely to cost (bearing in mind nothing short of a perfect paint finish will be acceptable)? 3. Are my thoughts on proctecting the new paint finish sensible/have you any other ideas? Thanks :) Quote Reply #6

Alarm and central locking: - Although the central locking works with the key - The remote central locking and alarm fob is intermittent at best. Q. Does anyone know if this is a simple process of replacing the battery or more involved? 2. Flashing light in the central console: between the auto gear lever and glove box - This small LED light is not referenced in the users manual - This light flashes at all times when the engine is running - It is possible that this light has always flashed (as I'm the cars new owner I might have spotted it before). Q. Does anyone know what this light is for? and is the flashing normal? Much appreciated Joe Quote Reply #10
