2800cs - are the rear seats secured with anything? Mine just pull out.

Mr Bump , your solution did the trick. Got to say I had my doubts and didn't even know what graphite powder was. That stuff worked in 5 minutes. Thank you!

Thank you, much appreciated - I did a bunch of searches but I didn't stumble on your pictorial gem. And I'm now adding the word 'clausor' to my vocabulary. Looks like I'm in for a fiddly job...thanks.

Hi, I've got an issue where my key won't turn in the ignition barrel. I've been recently having to wiggle the key a bit before it will turn - car starts fine once in ignition. However today, can't turn it - key goes all the way in - and have tried multiple keys. The steering wheel lock is on...

thanks Steve

Yes - choke flaps (sorry I called them 2nd stage butterflies).

I have a 2800cs with Zenith carbs. Are the 2nd stage butterflies purely for cold start and remain open once engine gets to temperature? If I press on them they close to different levels on each carb... Thanks for any info.

Curve is factory spec at the moment but I'll tweak in due course to see if there is any 'improvement'. I was originally just going to convert the original distrib to electronic ignition which would have done the same thing to be honest - ie resulted in rock solid timing (no points to tweak with...

Thanks Jay.

im running the Bluetooth 123 on a 1970 2800cs - stock engine. I put in a new coil, sparks and spark leads at the time. Had it for about a year - timing is spot on in fact checked it all with a timing gun today at various RPM. The non programmable versions I believe come with some presets to...

Thanks for the links. I decided to pull apart the window motor gearbox and the white gear inside is thoroughly worn. I'm surprised it moved the window at all. The Motor itself is working well connected directly to a battery, and less powerful when wired in normally via interior switch. Could...

Hi Travis, Are you still making the white window gears? Im in need of 4. Cheers Brett

Yes thats the kit I've got, I had one kicking around from another project, just wanted to see if I could make it work instead of buying E28's. Thanks.

Hi, Has anyone converted their front electric windows to manual? and how? Or has anyone tried a SPAL electric motor kit instead of stock or E28 motors? I've looked at the SPAL kit but since there is no manual 'winder' I'm not sure how it would work. Any suggestions appreciated, Brett

Thanks that would be great.

Yes thanks Steve, I'll try that curve. Do you have the Vacuum map as well?

HI Steve, are you able to repost the curve ?- it comes up with a cross through it. Many thanks.

Found this, Electric Classic Cars in the UK are working on an E9.

Yes I agree! I love the sound of an engine, the feel of gear changing, and the visceral feel of our cars...it's the reason we have them. The other reason is the aesthetic and stunning design of the E9. But before we know it we're gonna enter the world of 'Gattaca' - beautiful classic cars...

Has anyone thought of converting to electric? Are there any electric E9's out there?
