Hello All It was not £100 it was £100 cheaper and it came with the full wiring kit that the firm supply at extra charge! The chap had bought it to do a Ford? but decided to fit the Ford set up(wise decision) So touch wood it has worked well since installed I would not know where to start with Egret problems this enough head and bum scratching for me! Plus there seems to be a lot of help on line from lots of people Roger ps Nick and Mike can I have the settings you have used for altitude correction as I seem to be going around in circles(probably my age and lack of brain cells now?) pps If I can just crack that all will be fine(not Perfect just Fine!)

Hello All Reading all this makes me glad I bought Microsquirt (and I got a new unit off Fleabay £100 less) My only real problem was I had connected the toothed wheel sensor to the cam sensor port!!! After that it ran ok then I have just spent the last X years tweaking it (not for the better sometimes) Roger

Hello Nick I think the problem was I could not machine the scroll one to suit an oil seal as it would have got a bit thin I think/ But the later type maybe ok but whether you can get a seal with the right o/d and the smaller i/d I am not sure but you could possibly make a sleeve to take the o/d down a bit? Roger ps I did not have a later type available plus I made it a bit longer so the bearing carrier was always fully supported!
-
Hello Nick I had is problem but I got over it by making a new sleeve/bearing carrier so the seal sits on the smooth bit of the input shaft and machined it to suit a seal size that works! I could not make a non scroll one work could not find a seal that would work and it is a very small bit of smooth shaft to run on ! But it has worked for thousands of miles so I must have got it about right/ But the easier way is find a later input shaft! (but there is no challenge in that is there?) Roger

Hello Nick On the way up the cobbled road which was not as bad as we thought it would in fact Spitty hardly rattled! Roger

Hello Nick I have a set of Green Stuff ones if you are interested(some swear by them and some do not??) I do have a set of Mintex 1144's (but they are for Spitty if I ever wear the NOS ones that are on now(Asbestos filled) We did not have the Slightest brake fade when doing the Alpine trip but the TR6 with his 4 pot callipers was slowing lots of time with brake fade and the other TR6 was not much better but probably fitted with Eco Friendly ones that do not work in our old cars as the pad area is to small compared to moderns! Roger ps I will be going to Stoneleigh in a weeks time would you like me to look for some NOS ones?

Hello John I did offer to take them to Spain this year but no one jumped at it and the offer is now closed(Phew because it is a lot of hard work and responsibility?) Roger
-
Hello John Wrong Again it was us that organised the trip for the other 4 cars and did all the bookings etc!
-
Hello John That Roger is me/us (your Bonnet supplier!) Yes it was a fantastic trip and if anybody wants a copy of the road book(yes we provided one of those as well) its your for a Kings Roger and the Memsahib ps We are booked onto the Spain ferry for June and September!! plus a week in Malta in March(SKIng) Spending the Kids Inheritance pps The Grim reaper is getting ever closer and still have to take the Bloody gearbox out to replace the Crap New clutch(still have a complete NOS one to go in which should see me out I hope?) ppps not sure which photos they used as our copy not here yet but I don't think I sent this one(I have about 600 with all the Schlump and Railway ones?)

Hello I think this is the one I fitted as it is a common one Jaguar/Land Rover EAC3927, SNB802 LAND ROVER DEFENDER DISCOVERY COOLANT TEMP SENSOR EAC3927- FREE UK P&P | eBay Roger ps you may find one cheaper if you trawl Fleabay?
-
Hello This is the water temperature sensor for the EFI. Roger ps cant find the number at the moment but it was a common one!
-
Hello No that is the dash gauge one. The coolant one is on the other side and a proper one with 2 connectors and a proper plug that is to Mickey Mouse for me? I will take a photo late and show you. Roger

Hello David These are to details of Spittys alternator fixings. The first thing I noticed is your Herald has a different mounting bracket as it was a dynamo? Looking at the parts book I do not think it would be strong enough if you just used the front hole of the bracket? As you can see the Spitfire one bolts up to the front engine plate. So unless you have a spacer between the 2 ends of the bracket it is liable to tilt/move? If you can obtain a Spitfire bracket it would be better I think? The plate at the water pump end is a piece of 3/4" x 1/4" steel with holes 1" apart(I threaded the one 8mm) The adjuster centre piece is 70mm long with left and righthand threads 8mm. The Space is 25mm dia x 33mm long with a locating bit on the front that is 0.530" to suit the hole in the engine plate that I may have enlarged to give a better location? The bolt is 10mm x 120mm I assume I opened up the bracket hole to 10mm to suit the Alternator size? The vee belt I use is SPZ1087 but you water pump and crank pulleys may be a different diameter so a different belt would be needed Roger ps I hope this helps pps I fitted the new one to make sure it works and will leave it on and keep the old one as a spare!

Hello So it was probably more than that as the side of a garage is not the best position? Roger
