Re: National Alfa Day 2022 - Part 2

Great photos Lauren, sorry to hear of your return journey troubles, sounds like fuel vaporisation to me, do you have an electric fuel pump fitted or the OEM mechanical one?

Re: Interior light relay

Many thanks for that, I have a bunch of those wire wound resistors. Quick back of fag packet calc I think a 64 ohm bit of wire may work, draw approx 200mA and dissipate 2.5W with a nominal 12.6volts….

Re: Exhaust oil smoke

If you don’t have seals on the exhaust valves then it will still smoke.

Re: Exhaust oil smoke

Ours does it as well, also on a long downhill section with the throttle closed. I suspect it’s valve stem oil seals.

Re: Interior light relay

I’ve not done it yet, just worked out how to re jig the wiring in the fuse box to accommodate Type B 4 pin relay. There’s another quick and dirty way to simply jumper from the terminal that goes to the door switches over to the terminal that goes to the light. You will also have to re jig the wiring...

Re: Interior light relay

Thanks Loo, no worries if you can’t locate one, I think I’ve worked out how to use a Type B 4 pin relay to turn the interior light on (no delay though) when the doors open.

That was a great read Lauren and many thanks for sharing. I loved your bit about growing up with Space 1999 and UFO, it struck a cord with me and is probably why I loved all those exotic Italian super cars of the time. Probably why I ended up owning several x1/9s not have the skill to do what you ha...

Re Esso, it depends on what part of the country you are in wether it has ethanol or not. So check, it may contain it depending where you are, see: https://www.esso.co.uk/en-gb/fuels/petrol The main issue with E10 is storage, leaving it in the tank, lines and carb overwinter is not a good idea at all...

With not enough space and too many cars we are considering selling our S3 ‘83 1300 Sprint. I’ve seen some wild prices recently but don’t really have a solid idea of what the car is worth or where the market is going. I bought the car for my wife in 1989, 1 previous owner.

Hi Lauren, I’m away at the moment but can check on Friday. I cut down an allen key as you are suggesting works fine. To lock the tappets during adjustment I use an old solid centre punch wedged between them in the cutouts.
