Two throttle bodies. One was on my car until a head gasket failure took it off the road some months ago; this has previously been refurbished and looks very shiny. The other is of entirely uncertain origin; it's been in storage in my garage for a while. I think I may have acquired it when I...

I've got a 1.3 gearbox for sale. It's fairly high mileage (148,000 miles) but ran fine. Was pulled following a head gasket failure; I'm taking the opportunity to make some, er, major adjustments, so this gearbox is no longer needed. There's a brand new, boxed clutch as well. Open to offers (UK...

All, I'm going to swap 1.0 pistons into a 1.3 (or more accurately, stroke a 1.0 to 1.3 using a 1.3 crank and rods). However, I would like to keep the stock 1.3 cams and fuelling which will give me very high dynamic compression. Has anyone got experience of this set-up (I'm looking at you, Frank)...

I can't get my car to idle properly from cold. Typically, it idles very high for some time, then it grudgingly settles to the base idle, but tapping the throttle brings the high idle back until the car is thoroughly warm. And it's not just slightly high, it's astronomical. So far: - Replaced...

OK, here are the symptoms: - Car developed a high (but smooth, I think) idle. Not sure of exact RPMs, but it was very high - 2000+. Only happened twice, with a hot engine. - The second time, 3 days after the first, it happened in traffic, and the car overheated dramatically within two minutes...

No, not one of the ten main cylinder head bolts. There are five more M6s (10mm heads) around the block; four at the timing chain end and one adjacent to the distributor. The one I've stripped is the one on the rear (intake) side of the engine. The other four, for reference, are as follows: Two...

I've been looking at the options for getting more power out of a CG13DE. In essence, once you've done inlet and exhaust work, you either a) turbo or supercharge it, or b) rework it to rev higher. For high revs, you want lightweight pistons (among many other things - shot peened/polished rods...

I'm looking to do the 1.6 N13/N14/N15 Pulsar brake swap on my K11 (not sure which pulsar to take them from - the N13 definitely fits but is hard to obtain, whereas the N14/N15 are possibly too large to get under factory wheels but are readily available, but that's another problem). I can get...

I work for an engineering company in the UK. Part of our line of work is pattern-making for the historic motorsport industry, and so we have a good relationship with a local foundry. I'm looking at getting a batch of dry sumps made up for the CG13DE. At the moment, for the sump pan only, the...
