Have used V-Power last couple months after an issue using Tesco 99 RON (Contamination scare at my local Tesco couple month back) Changed back to Tesco stuff as its lots cheaper- have noticed it seems slightly "less sharp" at pulling away, and less sharp thru the rev range The car is generally...

Last year had my 197 remapped at Engine Dynamics- got rid of the flatspot Prior to that I had a Racechip pedal box which worked really well for torque/acceleration down low when pulling away in gears The Racechip pedal box didnt work at all well after the remap, and nowadays my pull away is...

Been told its normal.

Just replaced my fuel pump with a good used one, and its making a slight buzzing noise. Is it normal, air block, dirt block? Seems to run ok?

Anyone got a link to a 197 decent fuel pump

Might just be the words I use. Alex at AW has agreed it's coming from gearbox. Like a slight grating. Not particularly loud, but irritating. Specially when u just spent stackloads getting the box reconditioned.

Good point RS Rowe. I should've said, no noise coasting in neutral, or when not moving, or when clutch is depressed. Happens using throttle or not, as in decelerating (approaching roundabout) in gear with foot off throttle.

Tried getting video/ record the sound, but it doesnt relay very well. Just wind and every other engine sound is recorded. Sound happens above 20mph and below 70mph, usually 3rd and 4th gear, but is across all gears

When I purchased my 197 a year ago, realised it had the 3rd gear crunch, so as i was gonna use for Track a fair bit, decided to get it done and have an LSD fitted too. Went to Alex at AW Motorworks in September as recommended on here, which cost a few quid as cars always do. mGreat, i thought...

Found a RED front wing Now just bumper undertray and bumper to wing bracket Would prefer OEM parts

Anyone update on this. I need the nearside front bumper bracket that connects to the wing. And if anyone has the bumper undertray ? .................. :-)

Any tips on how to remove the front offside wing (If anyone has a RED one:-) All looks a bit of a mess down there Arch liner seems ripped and some missing, front undertray hanging off and bits missing, and wing cracked and misshapen Spect i will replace the lot- might be the reason of a...

Alex at AW Motorworks, so pretty sure the bearings were done

No. No lighter flywheel afaik

Anyone know if the Blackline LSD creates much noise Ive just had one fitted, and there a slight intermittent scraping sound in normal travel Might be the clutch release bearing, as noise pretty much goes when clutch is depressed Might event be something rubbing underneath, that Ive yet to...

Precisely the one I am looking at- nice Black friday offer, too Does it have a side, or top, carry handle. Cant see in the pics. Would prefer castor wheels on the front too- does the roller bar give u any hassle The weight is the biggest issue for me- so it looks good.

Quite a range of trolley jacks out there. My citeria is lightweight (To carry about at track, and I'm old lol), low profile entry, fastlift double piston, between 400-500mm lift height, decent long handle, castor wheels all round, etc etc It is nigh on impossible to get everything you want...
