The 'E' Type Forum

My 73 V12 is running a little rough I have replaced the plugs, leads, dist cap, rotor, air filters, diaphragms. It has the SNG ignition module. I have compression tested it and all are with 0.6 bar.

The symptoms are an uneven tickover, v rich start up, and light grey plugs (weak ?) after a fast run.

Can anyone suggest a knowledgable expert in the Midlands, or further if necessary.

Try CMC..Bridgenorth

Ian Nuttall Racing (INR) in Nottingham or HiTech Motorsport in Cradley Heath Birmingham (CMC use them).

Used both, they are good and have rolling roads.

Could CMC help? http://www.classic-motor-cars.co.uk/
Clayton Classics? http://claytonclassics.co.uk/
Both of the above are high end companies, for a more down to earth place you could try Chris Forbes near Coventry CFS Motors: 01676 541917

CMC send cars to Hi-Tech as they don't have a rolling road. May as well cut out the middle man and save a few £££. I seem to recall they charged £90 to set up the Megajolt map on the rolling road. INR would be about the same although bear in mind both specialise.in race cars which takes things to the next level compared to a normal workshop. i.e. they keep going until they get things right.

Hi Richard,

I can recommend Alan at http://www.carb-care.co.uk

If you are within his call out range from Lichfield he will do the job at your home. He has set up numerous cars for me over the years to a high standard. He gets busy this time of year so you may have to wait some weeks before he can get to you.

Kind regards,

Kevin
