Any tips for getting the spring back on?

if a mk4 spring will fit then a mk3 spring should fit? Mines been missing for years as I’ve struggled to re fit it. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/284812168783?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=ICQhi5l2RAm&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=SK_oO3MrQ56&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

I think the GT came with spots as standard from the factory, so it is a possibility.

Very nice!

Hi, Does anyone know what type/size of exhaust manifold gasket to downpipe I need for a standard Xflow (Mk3)? Thanks

Very nice!

I’ve just had this problem with my 1300 Xflow. I flooded the engine from being a little overenthusiastic in this cold weather. I pulled the spark plugs which were wet with fuel, once dry replaced them and started her with the smallest amount of choke. After a few attempts she fired up and has been fine since.

Thanks

Does anyone know the inside diameter of the heater hose for a Mk3 1300 X-Flow? Thanks

I think you're probably just wasting your money on that stuff. It is endorsed by the FBHVC so I don’t think it can be that bad of a product.

I use Millers VSPe Power Plus, one of the benefits is that it's supposed to provide protection up to E10 and I always put Super in mine for the higher octane. https://www.millersoils-shop.co.uk/vspe-power-plus-multishot

I keep a small one in the glove compartment.

Not watched it myself yet but may be of interest to mk3 fans! A good watch, nice to see that the Mk3 had some racing heritage down under even if it was short lived and not very successful.

I fitted a 34 at the beginning of the year to my 1300 xflow and had a few issues. The car would bog down when changing up and under load. I re-tuned it and it sorted the issue so that might be worth a go before a rebuild.
