My friendly MOT man is currently out of action for the forseeable so Im going to have to use another garage for my MOT, who may not be sympathetic to be having deleted the cat on my GT3. The original disintigrated may years ago, so I need a sports Cat except nowhere seems to have stock, tried the usual suspects, SJ, SouthWest, PNM, but all no stock with no due date. Does anyone know where I can get one or has one to sell?

I can fully recommend Beaconsfield Workshop, great work, and great to work with. Youd be in good hands with Dave & Martin

is this on a caravan or motorhome? We have experienced issues with cylinder supply, mainly due to supplies of new cylinders from Europe not turning up during covid, and more recently suffering from a shortage of drivers like most logisitics companies in the UK. To be fair the 7kg Butane is now a size in very small demand as most of the caravan community have switched to propane, and the small portable heaters that used to use loads of these 30 years ago, are no longer around.

Hi all, time to update the registry as last week my partner Gina and I became the very proud owners of No8. Thanks to Brian for allowing us to become the custodian of this fabulous car, and thanks for the great hospitality he and his wife showed us, a true gent. I know it wasnt easy for him to let it go but we will always be thankful he did. We are based in Kidderminster near Worcester if there are any other midlands based GTE owners in the midlands we'd love to meet you. Few events planned with the car over the summer first of which will be Classic Nostalgia at Shelsley Walsh next weekend, then Silverstone Classic where the car will be on the Lotus Drivers Club stand, then Supercar Fest at Shelsley and of August, then finally Salon Prieve in September. At most events it will share space with our beloved Esprit GT3.

Im interested in a GTE, and see that No8 is on Autotrader, but nowhere else including here, is it actually for sale Brian? Tried sending you a message but says you cannot receive them. Ade

GT3 Secondary fuel injector resistor obsolete, what now?
ajheath replied to ajheath's topic in Engine/Ancilliaries
Oh i dont know, I am getting on a bit these days. I have taken the unit apart, and as I said above Im getting good resitance across the resistor itself, but nothing at the spades. To test I've taken the resistor off the board and solders a couple of wires to it and popped it back in, works a treat. Conscious that these things can get hot I'm going to put it back in the casing and fill with resin. -

ajheath replied to ajheath's topic in Engine/Ancilliaries
yes Ian, there must be a problem with the board, as I'm getting about 3.6 ohms, at either end of the resistor so I know thats ok, but nothing across the terminals. Ive taken the resistor off the board, and soldered wires and spades to it, and it works a treat -
Esprit GT3 - Spare wheel
ajheath replied to Chris Onelevenr's topic in Suspension/Brakes/Wheels/Hubs/Steering/Geo
Problem with having a spare is, if your out on the road and need to use it, where do you put the roadwheel, cuz in wont fit in the front boot -
im a bit worried cuz I used up all my best sweary words stripping mine down, what am I going to use to put is back together??????

Blimey I thought mine was bad, biggest issue I had was with the top wishbone rear pins, worse than trying to get out the bottom rear links. All the rest came off ok, apart from the bent lower inner on the drivers side, but the good old recipricating saw, saw that off. All off to the shot blasters and powder coaters now, and loads of new bits ordered from SJ, as well as a set of dampers and springs from Gaz

OZ Nova centre cap diameter
ajheath replied to ajheath's topic in Suspension/Brakes/Wheels/Hubs/Steering/Geo
I got some great flat metallic stickers from a euro Ebay seller, for £13. 60mm is the size should anyone want a set, better than paying over £100 for a set of centres from SWL -
as part of my GT3 rebuild I needed a new pair of fronts for my Nova's, as I have Goodyear F1 on the back I wanted to match, but it now seems they dont do the 235 anymore, so I have gone for 245

afternoon all, the bodyshop are in the process of rebuilding the mirrors to go back on my GT3, and the inner metal frame is cracked where the turret which usually breaks is screwed to on the drivers side (offside) mirror, does anyone have a frame, or a mirror to sell? Not bothered about condition or colour as all the rest of it is fine, if you have let me know price and location. This is a post 93 Citroen CX type mirror.
