Dennis Benson was selling a NOS one a few months ago...

Well good luck with it. Of course with a 123 Tune ignition you can get an ignition profile to suit your cam...

Eeek... So thats what was causing your 'tapping noise' and scoring on the bore/ piston damage. Looks like a ring seized then freed itself up. I wouldn't fiddle with camshafts to be honest. A good Mk3 engine with good fuelling and an accurate spark pulls really well. My new Mk 3 had a stock set up and was greatly improved by electronic ignition (a 123) refurbed NOS carbs and an electric fuel pump. I think once you start going down cams/needles/ manifolds you are in for a lot of pain... Regards Brendan

If the disc is worn though its a big problem. They are not obtainable. I had a permanently rich running carb as a result of this and had to go to a NOS US-spec CD150 SEV pair from the carburettor hospital...

Wim I use silicon fluid. I know some people think it feels spongy, but its much kinder on the seals and it doesn't wreck your paint!

Yep, been there. I think its to do with the spacers myself... i've also become obessional with the torque wrench.

Mine did just that. It turned out that the cable to the switch was worn and shorting out on the stick only when hot in 3rd.....

Just get someone to wobble the steering while you look at it. Could be play in the steering column joint, the rack or the rack mounts..
