AXrescuer Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 That looks proper good. I had feared that exposure to salty sea air on the ferry crossing home might see it reduced to a pile of rust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vin Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 saucy! as you know mirafioriman has spares for these,i sold him an engineless left hooker a few years ago.so might be able to help you out,is the tank the same if they aint fuel injection? james nicholson aswell,i can't even remember what i sold him! he had the only official uk vx i believe If the vx is a white A reg one then he still has it. As well as the Argenta he also has a couple of 132s on his fleet. A 'Bellini' and a LHD 2 litre injection This is part of his collection too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Bo11ox Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 Sounds like I need to speak to this guy, I need to identify and replace the fuel pump relay on my Argenta. The Haynes does not cover the injected versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, finally collecting the thing is planned for Sunday anyway.That's great! I wasn't giving you the hurry-up, as you seem quite concerned enough with how long it has taken to organise its transport, I was caught up in the anticipation that finally you might be able to get it started - it's been since November, right?

Barrett.in.the.USA Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I am quite literally erect with excitement about this! I will lose all self control when you get the rest of the trim back to the lovely original grey, and will probably deposit my own little bit of grey all over my monitor.

Mr_Bo11ox Posted June 4, 2011 Author Share Posted June 4, 2011 HEYYYYY, I took this for an MOT today, first one ever! I cursed before I set off as for some reason, the indicators and hazards had decided to stop working between Thursday when i tested em and today when I needed em to work. Then a double cursage as if they had been working it would have passed the fuggin MOT!! Everything else is OK, just an advisory on the rear tyres, which are ancient and need replacing really although theres plenty tread on em. Stil, shouldnt grumble really, how hard can it be to fix that? I think both flasher units have died, i have now revived the hazards but the flash rate is very erratic.

Cavcraft Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Result! My money would be on the relays (assuming they have them LOL) is it worth whipping them out and driving up to Car Transplants to see if they have similar looking ones on another car? I bet they're mostly generic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Bo11ox Posted June 4, 2011 Author Share Posted June 4, 2011 Congrats! Thats an excellent result.Going to use it -through the summer? Yeah defo!!! I've got the forms etc off DVLA, I cant wait to see this on UK plates parked outside my house. Its gonna be great! Got a compressor, waxoyl gun and 5 litres of wankor wax to throw at it as well before it starts pounding the tarmac. Hey BTW do I have to pay a £55 'first registration fee' at the DVLA office?

garethj Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Result! Is the relay knackered, or is it the connections to it? With your expertise on Bosch fuel pumps, you can probably prise the indicator relay apart to see if it's anything obvious - corroded contacts, circuit board burnt, half a pint of water inside etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod/b Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 I think you should explain to the MOT man that it's an Italian car and therefore it was designed for a driver who would never signal an intended deviation of course EVER, so he should probably wind his neck in and get busy with the MOT certificate printer. He's bound to buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
