  1. Yes. The car leaning a bit on direction changes and curves but suspensions are tired. 1st i put new struts to see how it behaves and then i will see if sway bar is needed to improve.
  2. I shouldn't pay : - double vat - added fees for transport companies like UPfuckS - neither customs fees because parts made in england plus oldtimers parts cars.
  3. Thanks, i didn't know the estate ans the 2.5S had it According to ordering in GB, i admit that i'm bored of double VAT + fees... but i'll have a look at the springs. Unfortunately i have no relatives in GB.
  4. Hi Does a swaybar improve the driving of rhe Pi and does the Stag one fit to the mk2 ? Thanks
  5. Hi guys, I want to operate the transmission fluids maintenance on the Pi Mk2, but 1 info is missing about oil quality I know the oil type is the same for raer axle and gearbox : SAE 90 but if you have other advice... Rear axle oil capacity is 1.15l gearbox oil capacity 1.42l. Thanks
  6. Contrôle Technique (MOT) passed ! 😁
  7. Anyone knows what is this big black and white wire near the tank of my Pi saloon ?
  8. Before we had it, we used this on smartphone, GPSTRIP which is very usefull ! We still use it at safety : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gpstrip&pcampaignid=web_share
  9. News Opened the fuel gauge unit sender and couldn't fix the light low fuel alert but the gauge is working... So i won't touch again. Brakes issues in progress with re-tightening rear shoes as suggested + new front pads to balance forces. I have the car to pass the C.T again. And i recently had an opportunity in 2nd hand sales for cheap : all functional Terratrip with GPS signal for the saloon Pi. A touch of sports for the car, and as my mate Philippe an I are participating to regional historical vehicles races, maybe ready for doing so or 2nd car ready. Easy to uninstall with no visible mount damage if i need to remove it
  10. Installed a tripmaster for the saloon Pi. A touch of sports for the car, and as my mate Philippe an I are participating to regional historical vehicles races, maybe ready for doing so or 2nd car ready. Easy to uninstall with no visible mount damage. Great opportunity 2nd hand sales for cheap. All functional with GPS signal.
  11. OK, i could open (slighlty and not completely because of welds) the sender unit, it's plastic and metal this scheme is what should be (i guess) : 2 parallel inner branches. 1 sliding on the copper wire to indicate level and secondary makes contact for low fuel. So when the 2 branches (red on scheme) are full left, there should be light and gauge should indicate empty (am i correct?). What i have : - when the 2 branches are down and in contact pole, gauge says FULL, when moving them to the opposite, they indicate EMPTY - alarm light never shuts/off - branch sliding on copper wire makes scratches at some point - outer lever can be moved away from the axle, not sure it's always tightened enough to the axle So, to still get the level info, i put the sender unit on this position in order to have at least 1 correct information on gauge : fuel level in the tank
  12. Do you know the position or orientation the seal plate should be in order to close the tank and the lever to operate? 1st i want to get the fuel level back on the gauge 2nd fix the alarm level red light I'm watching Youtube vids to find how to test the sender unit
  13. I just checked. The problem is the switch in the tank. At some moment moving the branch lever i noticed a slight difference in the light on the dash but never "switched off" Do you know any tutorial about the hole thing because i don't think i can open the stuff to see inside. During the operation the lever went off. And as there's no mark or position indication I'm a bit lost. I wish i had the tank full as the gauge says but i lnow it's nealy empty .🙄
  14. Thanks for the tip. That's what i almost tried to do so i will just have a look at the rear right side to tighten a bit. I'm closed to succeed and i keep faith. Luc
  15. C.T failed today (french MOT). Only brakes problem : - front slight difference left 250 daN / right 210 daN - rear significant difference left 205 daN / right 75 daN - hanbrake good rear brake cylinders are new, bled 5 times... shoe pads are nice and i sand paper them + drums cleaned What could it be?
  16. Thanks, i'll check that. One thing's for sure : low level light doesn't appear.
  17. Yes, the needle seems moving accordingly to fuel level.
  18. Any ideas why the FUEL red light is always "on" on the center cluster ? Even long time after ignition and 3/4 of the tank filled...😮‍💨
