If you can get it missing when idling in your garage check all 8 plugs with a timing light. If any plug isn't firing the light won't flash when on...
I've had my 308GT4 since 1995. An MG ZB Magnette since 1994 and my Jaguar E Type since 1980. 70 years total for the 3 cars. Can anyone do better?
Put an ignition strobe light on each of the spark plugs in turn and let the engine idle. If a plug isn't firing there will be no flash from the light.
Thanks for the info on the difference between early and later 914 mirrors. I'm currently checking a few places. BTW I've had my GT4 for 16 yrs and...
Thanks Robert. I can try them for a full mirror. Sorry about the delay in replying. It's 7 am in New Zealand now.
Hi. I need help from all you 308GT4 owners out there. The base of the rear view mirror on my 1974 308GT4 has crumbled. That is the piece that...
Do any of you guys have a GT4 rear vision mirror? Or more specifically, the mounting block that adheres to the windscreen? Mine is broken and has...
Something ain't right. On my GT4 they drop immediately when turned off.
Does anyone know where I can get a base for the interior mirror of a 308 GT4? Mine is in three parts held together with superglue.
There is an excellent aluminium one available from Superformance. Will last forever.
If a valve forces the camshaft to move it would be because the valve is closing so I would imagine no damage could occur so long as you were able...
The best way to tell if any plug is firing is to connect it to a timing light and let the engine idle. If the light consistently flashes it is...
It may be of some interest that when the speedo sender of my 74 GT4 started playing up I got a similar unit from a Fiat dismantler that was from a...
I've had my GT4 for almost 20 years. It has never left me totally stuck but it has over the early years exhibited pretty much everything that is...
That's very strange. It was a while ago now but I think it had the finer thread. It looks like your original one also had the finer thread.
It HAS to be the most crap handbrake system ever devised. It relies on the moving pad pushing the disk against the stationary and thereby pinching...
Mine went without any warning at all. Fortuanately in was 50 metres past my house. Started it in first gear and then gingerly drove around the...
Oh yes you are. Rossini - Lago al factotum from The Barber of Seville. Played loud while going fast. Perfection!
While I am loathe to disagree with anything Verall would offer, I'm not convinced it is cable related. This appears to be a known problem with...
That's right Rick. "The clutch has a further nasty habit-very embarrassing, conceivably expensive, in a car of this sort-of momentarily...
