Guys, I had a play over the weekend and I've got the auto choke working. I took the back plate off and it seems it was placed on wrong last time, so I let it warm up and behold... A working choke. HOWEVER... My problem isn't solved, in fact it's worse! Cold starts it tries very hard to cut out...

I think the only solution to this is to get your car onto a dyno with and without. It will show the ever so slight decrease in lag if its the case :)

Its only in its early stages at the moment, Looking to go with a T28, undecided on supercharger as of yet but im not going for big power, I want it to be quick but ultimately a brilliant driver, Circa 300bhp in my Rover BRM. When i get a bit closer to completion i'll see about popping up a...

Haha, I was joking. They wouldn't be any use with a turbo though, surely? I'm in the process of (slowly) building a compound charged rover T16 engine, If i put one of these electric superchargers on all I can see if it being eaten by the engine lol. I'll give it a go over the weekend, cheers...

You mean these things dont actually work?? :O I'll see about having a play with it over the weekend... Probably make things worse but ey-oh. Injection is so much easier :)

Might be worth doing lol. I'll have a look to see if I can find any being broken. I didn't know the earlier ones came with a manual choke though, mines an '87 so i thought they all would be :) Is there something that might be repairable in my current choke? The flap moved freely it just...

Think thats a job for the weekend then, Should have a load of blue Hylomar (I've got a K-series too!) Any idea with the choke? It would be nice to get that sorted at the same time, unless theres something that might be causing my auto choke to not work, which is repairable? Cheers Enuo :)

Hi All Been living with the Micra now for around 4 months and its been great, up until my mate thought it was a good idea to take the carb off for a clean. I know sod all about carbs and I took his word for it that the gaskets would be OK. Obviously its never been taken off before, and I...

I'd do a straight swap for my early 1.0... Convoyed to the RRG earlier in the year... Had some dirty thoughts about it since.

I suppose its worth a go, Never tried it before so I might be in for a surprise! Just to confirm, is this the stuff you mean? http://www.toolstation.com/shop/p67949 Seems like a cheap solution anyway :)

The Micra is by far the cheapest car I've ever ran, Cost me £370 and its near immaculate. Insurance is under £500 a year and the parts are lube free. Cost me £40 for a complete new exhaust, Under £5 for a cam belt etc... For me its my daily and my weekend car is a Rover BRM, which is also...

I've never heard of doing that with bushes lol. Does it actually work? I'd prefer to replace them for new if they're still available, it's a lovely car in original condition so I'd quite like to keep it that way, rather than bodging it :)

Hi guys! My front engine mount, which goes to the front cross member has a lot of play... I'm really struggling to find a replacment and I'm wondering if anyone can help? I don't mind if its a standard replacement, or polyeurothane - ill go for whichevers cheaper :) Cheers!

Cheers Guys! I hadn't thought of the tracking, but come to think about it... it is out by a mile so thats probably it! Such a fun car to drive, A few years back a friend had a k11 1.0 and it was brilliant, but i've always fancied one of the 10's. Not bad for a car I found unseen off eBay...

I've sorted the problem, wasnt anything major :) Anyway, As promised some pictures of the beast! Heres a few pictures I took today, this is as it was when I collected it. To say I was pleased with the purchase would be an understatement! It has covered 53k, its...

Hi All New here! I've just got back from a purchase of a lovely K10 Colette, its the 1.0 and she's in stunning condition. It drove faultlessly on the way home, which was over 100 mile, considering the car hasn't been used much in the last 3 years (300 mile!) About a mile away from...
