DoctorRetro Posted January 11, 2020 Author Share Posted January 11, 2020 Still has the crappy bonnet though... I'm going to have to fiddle with the carb I think, it idles really low once warm, about 450-500rpm. Also takes quite a few cranks to start when warm. I'll start by chasing any vaccum leaks and I'll add an online fuel filter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stinkwheel Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Those trims suit it, which I’m surprised at, as they look kind of awful off the car.I’m also amazed this is carb, the 92 K reg 1 litre I had last year was injected.

I was selling Vauxhalls at this time and the non cat, non inj cars had to be registered by Jan 1993. This meant we had to preregister a couple of Novas before the mandatory rule came in and robbed the Nova 1.2 of 10 bhp! It seems Citroen managed to increase power with single point inj.

DoctorRetro Posted January 14, 2020 Author Share Posted January 14, 2020 As detailed in another thread, I'm looking at the small holes that need patching for the mot and debating whether to get them done in advance, or wait until mot time and deal with it then. Unless it's a catastrophic fail (which I doubt), I'll be making sure it's kept on the road at least another year, so maybe I'm worried for nothing...
