Thanks all, schoolboy error🙄. Took car for a run this morning and all is well. Thanks for all comments/advice.👍

Managed to get car running, ran at high revs for a while then left at idle for about 15 mins, seems ok. think it might of been a bit of coolant over engine. Car seems to run fine now will get out weekend to check. Going to look at idle mixture screws too. Thanks for all your comments and advice. Robbie🤗👍

Thanks for that will double check. Yes it’s a 72 gxl👍

Thanks fitted with a manual choke, checking plugs is next on the list.🤞🏻

Will persevere, do usual checks. thanks.

Hiya, Have just fitted a new Radiator, mk3 2.0. Flushed out old coolant. Replaced with new radiator and added coolant. Car now struggles to start, runs fine for a few minutes then suddenly stops, (lack of fuel maybe!???) car then very difficult to start again. Car was running ok, starting ok before radiator change. Have checked points, leads, battery terminals, Will check sparks next, but car was fine before radiator change???? Fitted Radiator is exactly the same as the old one any advice welcome regards P Robinson

Wanted Mk3 2 door Front seats/Tombstone. Thanks RR

Thanks that would be good give me an idea on how they look.

Thanks will look at capri recaro’s. The Recaro’s I tried years ago did just bolt straight in, but ride height was too high€not sure what they came out of!!

I’ve seen the posts ref the Alfa seats, understand there’s a bit of work needed to fit, but it’s an option. Ideally after some get tombstones but searched high and low, no luck, keep looking I suppose. Did try Ford recaros years ago, way to high, probably get them to fit with some work. thanks

They’re nice looking seats, presently have a pair of recaros from a rover (I think) nice seats but do not tilt forward. The seat bouster has gone drivers side, just trying to get ideas for other compatible front seats. Thanks fo the info

Thank you. Robbie

Hi does anyone know if XR3i front seats would be suitable for a 2 door GXL would they bolt right in, and is height ok? Has anyone ever fitted? Ideally looking for tombstones? Thanks Robbie

Regards

Thanks for confirmation they are M16. Will also look into recons. regards Rob
