[delco brakes get them working successfully and well]

Incorrect. All of the switches listed in the PDF have the same rating with respect to proof and burst pressure, 6000 and 9000 psi respectively. Look at the first page:

Not to speak to its suitability in any other way, but the switch he referenced is proofed to 6000psi regardless of sensing range, with a burst limit of 9000psi. The range merely determines the available switching point.

[Alunox SS manifolds]

Dave,

 

Will Alunox be sending out the twin upgrade automatically to those of us that made a prior purchase, or so we have to request them? Thanks.

[Alunox SS manifolds]

Sorry if I missed it, but which part of the support broke, and where?

[Alunox SS manifolds]

Dave,

 

Will this be sent to all previous purchasers?

 

Kenny , 

That's fine, I will mention it to Alunox, 

A direct replacement bolt on bracket will be despatch to you when manufactured..

As stated it is a stabilizer arm and does not hold weight, using the car without it

should not be an issue as long as your turbo is secure on its pipework mounts..

Just fit the new one when it arrives...  

[quick question - how to make radiator fans run all the time]

Hi Mike,

 

Have you checked the engine temp via FreeScan or EspritMon? Does it agree with the gauge? The ECM uses the reading from the temperature sensor located under the intake manifold to control the fan switching points, among other parameters. The gauge has its own sensor, which is not seen by the ECM.

[Headlamps not switching off - help required!]

Ah, I misunderstood, then. Cheers!

[Headlamps not switching off - help required!]

I ended up pulling the headlamp motor and found there were a bunch of little ball bearings all over the place inside the motor, ordered a reconditioned one to replace it as I have no clue on how to sort this myself.

[Clutch Housing to Engine bolts tightening torque]

50 Nm, 37 lb-ft

[Front left engine mount]

You need to remove the jigsaw puzzle that is the heat shields, then the big nut holding the motor mount to the chassis. Make note of the orientation and position of the large buffer washers. No need to remove the legs from the block. The LH mounting bolt will stay with the leg.

[Solid state Voltage regulator]

The LM2940T-10.0 only drops 0.5V, or 0.2V at lower currents.

[Oz futura wheel bolt]

I'm in the USA, I'll PM you with details.

[Oz futura wheel bolt]

I'll give you as many as you want, if you give me the proper tool to remove them.

[Engine removal]

It also looks as if some one has bodged a wrong bolt in on the left hand side as if has a hex head instead of a bolt head on one of them.

 That hex head is there to clear the shift cable, and is fitted that way from the factory.

[Rear view mirror problem]

I replaced mine with a windshield mounted mirror from an Evora/Exige, much better now.

[S4s hot starting problem.]

Also, remove the vacuum hose from the top of the fuel pressure regulator, and turn the key on without cranking. If any fuel comes out of the port where the hose was attached, the regulator is bad. Note that this is not the only symptom of a bad regulator.

[whats this ?and where do the wires go ?(with pics)]

One spade is smaller than the other, one would hope that the wire terminals are similarly sized. Why Lotus decided to use brown-white and white-brown is a mystery.

[Heater valve thermocouple problem]

The thermocouple is part of the water valve A075P6060F. It is also used on Volvo 240 and 260 cars from 1975-1991. If it is broken you would definitely have heating issues.

[88 Esprit Turbo cam belt tracking?]

Mine runs all the way forward, i.e.the forward edge of the belt is almost even with the edge of the pulley. As long as it's not off the edge and/or you are not seeing evidence of edge wear I wouldn't worry.

[Lip Spoilers]

The Sport 300 (and '92-'93 SE's) had different valences than the earlier SE, with the lip area molded larger to accommodate the rubber spoiler. The pre-'92 cars do not have a sufficient recess to accommodate the lip without modification.

[Side marker rubber protection missing]

PM sent.

[another removal of binnacle on an SE.]

Yes, otherwise the needle will not register any speed.

[another removal of binnacle on an SE.]

Be aware that you need tor drive the speedo in reverse if using a drill.

[Couple brake and suspension questions]

Hmm, from everything I have been able to find out they don't make the dimpled/slotted for the rear anymore. I got that part number from the EBC website. They have an 85-94 part (this one) and a 94-96 so I figured mine would be the 85-94 model being it was made Oct 93 and is non-Brembo.

 

OK, I was thrown off by the photo, which looks nothing like your rotor. A check at a couple of other sites seems to back you up.

[Couple brake and suspension questions]

Upon further examination, I think the GD323 is the rear rotor for a Celica. You need the front.
