Thanks Robert, you are a total star!

Are you interested in selling any more bits? Im after an electric window switch (passenger side) and the info center knob Oh a drivers side door pocket too just for the sake of ocd!

Tim

If anyone has one to sell do you want to let me know

Best

Tim

Ahh kk, thanks Jeff!

I know its small beans but if anyone has a few (I need two) dashboard screws, and two of the screws that hold the instrument pod in place that would be amazingly helpful, Ive lost a few in my battles with the info center!

Tim

PS Also after a drivers side door pocket now too

Great thread Ra thanks you- current theory is the valves as my cylinder pressures are all over the show, but I'll have a look at the fairly liquid cure myself when i get it back!

Best

Tim

Current theory is valve seating Will keep you all posted!

Tim

Guys thats gold, I'm so grateful

Tim

OK the idle control valve and pipe are the latest parts to have been changed out. Still the same symptoms, stalling a few mins after start up then running well after warm up.

Which would you guys go with next to investigate, are injector seals a full strip down kind of job?

Tim

Thanks all, I've tried emptying a bottle of carb cleaner with no obvious effects, but my symptoms sound a lot like Alan's stalling at junctions etc, so I'll look into that, many thanks

Hi All,

My 480 celeb is running roughly and stalling approximately 3 mins after starting up in the morning, but after 5-10 mins the revs stay at 900rpm and the car dosnt stall.

So far Ive replaced the fuel filter, dizzy cap, throttle sensor...

Any theory's, perhaps the automatic choke?

Tim

Call me a wuss but I ended up going with BH 2 part epoxy mastic over zinc primer! Only time will tell! Thanks so much

Thanks, thats a brilliant tip!

Thanks James

Top tips! Im grateful for all of this

HI there, anyone got any ideas where to source a mass air flow sensor for a 2.0 Celeb?

Best

Tim

Just wondered, there is a gap between the seal at the top of the windscreen and the actual roof, so some water must go down there, where does it drain out to?

Hi Malkontent,

Yes thats just what I mean, if you had a white one that would be even more amazing! I can re-spray if not!

Let me know how much you would need to ship it to the UK

Best

Tim

Ahh sad times all around, an end of an era, thanks for the various bis over the years Jim

Any passenger side roof trims (that sit over the rubber gutter) available? Or Celeb era dashboard
