Re: DE27 Petrol vaporisation issue

Hi
I had the same problem with my V8. I insulated the petrol pipe where it runs close to the exhaust and in the engine bay. I used insulation used on Hydraulic excavators from a local hydraulic specialist. I have had no problems since. I know others have used it to good effect.
Good luck
Colin

Re: MGF seats in a Dart ?

Hi
It might be worth trying a car that as the seats. We have them in Margaret's SP and the are a bit bulkier and higher than the standard. Which can be a problem with the hood up depending how tall you are.

Re: Daimler V8 Performance tuning - knowledge hub

Hi I was always told many years ago but I think it is good advice, If you are going to tune a car then you should start with the brakes, then the suspension, then the steering and finally do the engine. This advice does not include any racing requirements wanted by a particular track. Hope this is u...

Re: Vehicle ID Help - Please

I am not clever enough to get a clear image of the mascot but I thing from the shape and outline it is a very popular after market mascot known as The speed Nymph which was originally made by Lejeurne and but very widely copied. I attach a copy of my version

Hi Steve The memory is not what it was but I think they gave me an estimate which was not far out. Obviously it well depend on what they have to do and what's lurking underneath. Try giving them a ring I found them very useful and accommodating. If you do like their terms and conditions then walk aw...

Re: Conquest Wiring Diagram

Hi
The club used to do a range of very good large sized coloured plastic coated wiring diagrams. If you check with the merchandising people they may have some. If not Bob Cantwell produced them and may be able to send you one for a fee.

Re: Warm start issue

Hi
It may not be an electrical problem but a fuel vapourisation issue. The fuel line on my V8 runs close to the exhaust from just back of the bulkhead to the carbs. I insulated the pipe with material I acquired from a plant hydraulic specialist and have had no trouble since.
