Re: Clock repair 2000 coupe

Hi Ben, if you are there already, can you post a picture? I see that the face is a little different from mine which had the stalk at the 6 O'clock position.

Re: Clock repair 2000 coupe

Hi, I'm currently travelling so no access to the pictures at home-I think I have a few of the clock's interior. If you are courageous enough, you need to start by opening it: pull off the knob for setting the time then, turn over the clock and with a very small screwdriver and pilers, bend back the ...

Re: Clock repair 2000 coupe

Hi, a search of Adrian Le Hanne's posts on clock repair will yield priceless info. Generally, it seems that the capacitors fail (leak) and this would potentially explain the symptoms that you describe. The two transistor (BC148C) can also fail, and are sometimes available on eBay, but then nothing w...

Re: Gearbox removal 2.4 Coupe

I did this a few times: once to replace the spigot bearing, then again for rebuilding it, and then for doing what the shop did not do: carefully check the longitudinal play on the main and lay shafts. It can be done with 4 axle stands in half a day (2-3 hrs with practice): -drain oil and disconnect ...

Re: Air filter - aftermarket options

Hi, I had the arrangement with the three separate KN filters, like Tobi's. I agree that it is not optimal for performance, but since I am not racing it, it just makes the V6 look fantastic - assuming that you cleaned your carbs and detailed the rest :D I took them off to go back to stock for a conco...

Re: Remowing cylinder heads with engine in car?

Too bad that the Forum was down so long, I did this first thing when I got my car and had plenty of photos and info to share! It looks like you mastered it with flying colours, congratulations! If you haven't already bolted them back, I found that raising the back of the engine just a little with a ...

Re: My Dino has strong bad exhaust smell

Hi, There are a lot of locations where the exhaust can leak and get back into the cabin. Is it only with the windows open, or also with the windows closed? Things to check: Pull back the carpets in the front footwells of the car and check the bulkhead for holes to the engine compartment. On the pass...

Re: Replacing valve stem seals with the engine in car

Just to add my 2 cents, I found that raising the back of the engine to tilt it forward a little makes a world of difference when removing that last blanking plate on the back of the right camshaft cover. I would certainly give the in-place valve stem seal replacement a try if I was sure that that wa...

Re: Steering Column Bearings

Hi Graham, I replaced mine on a 2.4L and that completely fixed a small wobble in the steering wheel. I noticed that although the bearings look the same on the drawing (they fit into the steering wheel support bracket), there is a tightening nut on the 2.4 whereas you have a spring (4140869). Could y...
