For work I recently acquired some long feeler gauges for poking into joints in building cladding systems. They don't need to be accurate for this just thin and flexible. My question is. What is the…Continue

Yesterday I pick up a phase 2 silver top 1800 Zetec, for vurtually free, the price of a few beers. I knew it had been standing outside for two years under a sheet. I was told it turned over. I set…Continue

Randomly purchased an unknown bike exhaust from a car boot sale yesterday. When I got home did some Google searches, it would appear to be a titanium Yamaha R1 exhaust - not bad fro £3. I have…Continue

I thought it was time I logged the work to returning my Phaeton to the road

ContinueEcu & Induction Advice Please

I see my options as
1, bike throttle bodies' aftermarket ecu - expensive
2, keep the Jag in take and use X Type wiring loom and ecu, think this is related to the Ford EEC V ecu - cheap solution but the ugly intake might have to poke out of the bonnet
3, Fit an ST 24 intake, cable throttle body and aftermarket ecu.
You thoughts as to the best solution please

This 'box is so compact and light, it has to be the future. I know this will be a challenge as I know nothing about engine management, but it is time…

I am due to collect another Essex V6 block in a couple of weeks and then while building up a decent engine, I plan to use the old worn block to figure out how to work out some engine mountings for my Phaeton S2. Does anyone have any photos of an Essex in a Phaeton? Ideally in a S2 and showing the mountings. Noticed the build manual (PDF from the DOC web site) suggests using Transit 2.0 mounts on Ford V6 engines. I assume this would be the V4 transit not the pinto. I found some V4…
