I see him logged-in on regular occasions; most recently last evening. He seems to have mislaid the "Post" button

No problem Jim, happy to help the FCF

Maybe we need some Activa related topics to get him posting again

Hi Dean, Good to "see" you too

I'm still int the process of refurbing the front brake callipers and then the diesel pump is going to get a good seeing to

So you're going to install a turbo huh ? I can recommend a 2.1td

Cheers, Colin.P

Hi Colin

Yep, this.....

Is going in here....

Although im wondering if this would fit

Whats wrong with the pump? is it air again or just genral tinkering?

No no no no NOooooooo.... I have the perfect place for the V8 right here

I've still got the cold starting problem, I've advanced the timing which helps alot but makes it really noisy and can't be good for the engine so I need to get the cold start mechanism sorted out sometime soon.

Good luck with the engine swap, Like the Morrettes too !

Cheers, Colin.P

I think my dad might object to me taking his stag's engine though, the misserable git

what home do you have for it then Collin? .
I did think about putting a V6 engine in Jim but ideally i want to be able to have everything under the bonnet as standard rather than a Nova barry boy conversion and to do that really i need a whole car for the conversion and even if i could find a V6 XM i just couldnt bring myself to break it

Besides with a little help here i was thinking after the rebuild and a remap, maybe squeezing a bit more power out of it, say 200hp but i need to look into it to keep it quiet and refined without loosing the torque, i may not be able to get that, we shall see

Hiya Dean, I've got a TR7 convertible that would benefit from a V8 conversion if only for the sound it would produce

Cheers Colin.P

Oh yes im insured on the stag and on a banked country lane or going through town the noise is just lovely, i do like the TR7 very Stratos looking 8)
Sorry not very Citroenesk
