Hi,I have completed a part restoration on an X180 Turbo.Now that it has been MOT'd I seem to have a slight metallic whine fron the gear box,but only when you take your foot off the throttle and I have no whine in fifth at all? The linkage is new but the cables are old and the gear change is the worst I have ever come accross.I have a gut feeling that it is out of ajdustment.Any comments? Thanks Paul.

Hi, I am having trouble bleeding my new brake set up,any suggestions. Thanks Paul.

Hi ,getting on quite well with my X180 restoration.I am nearly ready to fire her up but I have come across more snags,firstly I am connecting up all the electronics if I had taken them apart it would be no problem,but I did not.There five sets or clusters of connections from the boot panel that join to the corresponding set on the drivers side naer the rear wheel, I can only find four connectors.The one that is not there is the twin purple T shaped connector ( which is the Longest) I have been told that it around the purge pump,could it be redundant on this model,believe you me I have looked.Secondly on switiching on the ignition the fuel pump stays on (there is fuel in the tanks I have checked ) are these problems connected? Thanks Paul (My S1 is a breeze to work on )

Hi, I have an Esprit X180 for restoration. I have two problems to sort out,firstly the starter motor disengages but will not switch off ,help. Paul.

I now know why my brake cables will not fit the rear brakes on my X180,they are not the original ones they are brembo,the cables fit forward rather than aft,therefore the the short cable now fits on the long side no problem.Does anybody know if cables can be shortned,if this is possible then I will be OK,if not Iam knackerd?Secondly in my effort to fit the cables I have squeezed one of the hand brake calipers closed and now it only return to half it's position.the brakes are new ,I have no details of the interoir of the brakes and I do not want to brake them.Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Paul .

Hi , I have purchased an X180 for restoration. The rear break cables are not connected,on myS1 they connect fron the rear, on the 180 it looks as if the cables have to double back on themselves,is this right? Thanks Paul G.

Hi,I have aStephens X180 and I am possibly going to fit 300S wheel arches .I do not if this is possible.ANy advise would be geat. Paul.
