Re: Alfa 33 1400 16V Rallycar
Ones have now got the ecu and can't find a fault. They have suggested checking over the 18 month old wiring loom!
They are going to hang on to the edu until I ask for it back of they can try it on a car.

Hi Dave
Looking at the AlfaSud book it shows that the Super had a cover that replaced the clocks completely not just filled in where they were. I don't really want to fit three Alfa badges.

Re: Sud rear brake pressure limiting valve
Thanks for the suggestion Dave. It is one of the options. A downside to installing a bias valve is that I think it will limit rear braking under all conditions?
I wonder how many peoples are stuck and they have no idea?

Hi Got an intermittent problem with hydraulic tappet 1.7 engine. I haven't started the engine and it's been stood for about 20hrs but does rotate easily until a valve sticks open. Sometimes it you leave it a minute and try again then it will move. If it doesn't go then it will rotate wrong direction...
