You won't shift any significant weight F/R by adjusting rake (well actually it WILL affect downforce on-the-go, but that's not the issue here)....
Before concluding it's the WP better check that the leak is actually coming from the weep hole under the pump nose. It could also be one of the...
Some thoughts Up the testing pressure & hold longer. Old caps were rated at 0.9bar, newer replacements are 1.1bar. Test while still hot if...

Check the v short hoses that run across the top of the heads, from bank to bank. They are buggers to check & change, but if split will cause...
Ditto. Is it a twin-distributor setup? There aren't many systems which just affect one bank, and it sounds like ignition breakdown esp if it's a...
Yes, it shows your steering mechanicals are good. I'd suggest getting a front-end alignment check, as possibly suspension bushing wear is giving...
Haven't had to top-up the oil in the Mondi until now (2000kms since service at purchase), but when I went to do it (& in public too) I almost...
Could be the steering column joints. Test by kneeling down in the drivers doorway and holding the far end of the steering column shaft (just...
A top-end leak shouldn't persist as "drip-drip" for very long (hour or so?) unless an awful lot of oil was thrown out. You'd see it streaming...
Will flipping the axle over (if that's what you mean) change the wear locations? I didn't think it would. You'd want to keep the CVs in their...
Philip, how "consistent" are the results? I'm thinking particularly of damper & bushing friction affecting the readings. If you take one set...
I suspect the cheapest route would be to find a wrecked 3.2 Mondial Valeo or its parts and fit them to a 328. It's the same engine, etc, but...
Was the compression test done with the engine out of the car (using the remote starter)? If so it would have to have been done cold, which may...
Squirt some powdered graphite into the lock first to make sure that the tumblers are free. If still stuck it sounds like disassembly is required....
Absolutely no tractability problems with a Mondial. It'll pull totally cleanly from idle (~1000) and strongly from 2000. I do the "traffic...
What was the sequence of events during restart? Did it backfire while cranking (how long cranking?), or after firing-up (how long after?). What...
88+ model Mondial 3.2s had power steering, & this may be a closer fit than the 355 system.
If you have fluid leaking from the forward end of the engine (just ahead of the LH rear wheel) then you have probably blown the seal on the clutch...
Sounds like the starter solenoid circuit is getting power at the "ON" switch position and not just at the START position. Trying to decipher...
