Thank you,
I'll take your advice and go along those lines. The manifolds need to be re coated and one of the stud eyes is cracked,sounds like another search. Where would be the best place to source the exhaust from? I have the magoletsi air filter as my cars air cleaner assembly was missing.

Hi I need a complete new system. I Was wondering where is the best place to get one from? At the moment I have the original headers and engine standard 4.2. I would like in the near future to have a little more performance from the engine, for fast road use and probably not on track. I like spirited...

Hi Steve,
Thanks for the tips, it's not an easy job but done at last!!!

Hi
I have series 1 4.2 the starter motor has been playing up and needs replacing. I'm planning to replace with new hi torque one but how do you get the old one out? Can't seem to access to the bolts to remove it, can you do it with engine in place ?

Hi,
I've been pretty lazy with security, but going to invest in a tracker of some sorts. I have however recently fitted the latest Bluetooth 123 electronic distributor that has a immobiliser function which will now be used at every opportunity.

Thanks I'll do a bit more searching the posts thank you both

Hi
I am trying to set the timing on my series 1 4.2 engine and there is no markings on my dampener. Is there any other way to check and/or set the timing?

As far as I can uk spec lights but will look more closely now. It's a sticker that will come off as I work round the car. I'm concentrating on getting it running properly then I'll tidy body as I go. It was originally gold but has had a bad re spray to red.

Thank you. Registering it with DVLA was a real pain. Firstly after I sent all the documentation to them, they said they hadn't received it, only after I showed them they signed receipt did they then say they lost it all and I would have to get copies of all paperwork. I tried to get copies from the ...

Hi My name is Mark and a few months ago I purchased a 65 series 1 4.2 FHC. I think the car was talked about on here. It was advertised on eBay in Norway. I brought it.
