Based on my trials and tribulations earlier this year, check the lead to the coil and make sure that it is not breaking down intermittently.

That’s not mine 🤣, and it was frost ❄️ not dirt. But it did make an appearance later…

Seen this morning in convoy with an R8 and a rorty F Type heading towards Chard. Reg no 6095##. Anyone on here?

My steering wheel stitching has given up the ghost on the bottom section. Mrs P has kindly offered to restitch it. Any advice on needles and thread types?

Finally everything is back together and running like a Dream. There was a combination of things that came together and took time to find. DME relay was fine, so I now have a spare in the glove box 😃 One of the crank sensors was on its last legs. Both have been replaced. Coil lead and connector in distributor cap had failed, but not visibly, hence the presence of the spark at all six cylinders. The distributor cap had only been replaced 3/4 years ago, but it was a pattern part. Now a new set of leads and pukka distributor cap all round. With the exception of the dizzy cap and the DME relay everything else was original. So after 38 years had just come to the end of their lives. On the upside I now know that I don’t have a problem with the ECU, engine compression or cylinder leakage.

Adrian Flux quote: £233, with same AV, but 3,000 mile limit which is sufficient for me.

Yes, and yes. We’re left with the possibility of contamination in the petrol. But I had driven about 30 miles since putting any fuel in, and it had run fine until the point it didn’t.

This is proving to be really challenging, so any thoughts would be appreciated. So far the following, and still not starting. DME relay swapped. Crank sensors replaced, one was faulty. ECU tested and all ok. Spark at plugs. Plug gaps reset as slightly wide. Fuel pressure ok, injectors spraying fuel as they should. Compression and cylinder leakage tests ok. We have spark and fuel but no ignition when the two come together. Anything else?????

Renewal from Classicline came through this morning £316. When I asked Lockton to quote last year they were £680 for one car, and I’m down in Somerset.
-
High risk GL postcode??? My renewal is due shortly, last year £298 with £65k AV. Also with Classicline

Latest update. Static crankshaft speed sensor was dead. Both sensors have been replaced, but engine still cranking and not starting. ECU fault suspected in addition. This has now been sent to Avilec on the Isle of Wight for investigation and hopefully repair.

Midlands Air-cooled Swap Meet 1st Feb

No possibility I’m afraid. Mrs njpcarrera and our eldest are painting the newly completed extension so I am dog sitting all weekend. And the 911 is still hors de combat.
