  1. Hi Rolls, Could you please share your choice of fabric? I’m looking at the different options myself. cheers MP
  2. Thanks gents.. will take wiring harness out and fully inspect. Started it again and drove it and now no fault…. But need to be certain so further analysis required. Cheers Mark
  3. Thanks Filip, will have to explore further. Will check all the wires and then start looking at injectors after that. Cheers Mark
  4. Hmmmm… So spark plugs all seem to be working. But cylinders 2&3 not firing so swapped injector connectors 1 to 2 and 3 to 4. I expected the problem to move but 1 and 4 were still keeping the engine running and 2 and 3 still dormant. The following day I started the engine and it fired up okay so took it for a quick spin around the block and 5 mins in it started to run on two cylinders again. Got to be a wiring issue surely????
  5. Thanks guys.... Gives me a better understanding of next steps. Cheers Mark
  6. Good evening gents, hoping for some guidance. went out for a quick pootle in the Esprit this evening.. everything seemed okay until it wasn’t!! basically after about 15mins the car lost loads of power… limped her back to the house. checked that the spark plugs and leads were working. Everything seemed okay in that sense but if I pull the leads off cylinders 1 & 4 the car stalls. If I pull the leads off 2 & 3 it makes no difference to the idling. is there a commonality with the injection system on 2&3? any thoughts?? cheers Mark
  7. Hi, Looking for the EMH Delco injection manual. money waiting if anyone has a spare one. Cheers Mark
  8. Thanks… The large would suit the length of the Esprit but a little concerned about the width as the Esprit looks around 200mm wider than the dimensions on the cover (and 150mm than the Elise. I think it might be flexible enough to stretch but not certain.
  9. Good evening guys, just reading up on 2023 reviews for car covers. Auto Express gave this one a 5/5 and at less than £70 thought it might be worth a punt. Anyone on here bought and used one recently? Just a bit worried about the width!! cheers Mark
  10. Hi Guys, Looking for a set (or maybe just the rears) of Revolution wheels that were fitted to the US Esprits on the 1993.5 models. Part numbers are A082G4098F and A082G4099F for the front and rears respectively. Happy to pay good money and shipping to secure these. Cheers Mark
  11. Suppose economy’s of scale would come into play… but there seems to be little interest in this unfortunately. Cheers Mark
  12. Hi Giorgio, I’d be interested in a couple of sets dependent on price. But if around £100+ Each side (i.e. circa £200 per car set) would be interested. Cheers Mark
  13. Hi, I don’t.. but if we can rustle up another 5 people; I could get another batch run off. Cheers Mark
  14. All, just to give you an update; I managed to free the two parts from each other. There are two holes on the side of the bracket. The smaller one is the one holding the pin. I could not get either pin to recess (despite hitting them with a drift); so ended up drilling them out. Will now replace with a grub screw. Apparently these do need separating otherwise they make the piston bind as the corrosion between the two metals creates inward pressure.. it’s all in the guide that was kindly shared on this post. Cheers Mark
  15. Would anyone happen to know where you can get a seal kit from? cheers Mark
