Thanks to our Tim, I am able to post this link of cars that took part in this rallye. The photos with courtesy of Cars of Australia, the cars themselves an absolute delight and full credit to go to their owners. http://www.carsofaustralia.com.au/events_gallery.php?details=913 Enjoy...

What do we know about the injectors, being buried deep in the inlet manifold, and no convenient way of inspecting them ? The answer is very little, unless they are removed and then tested on the bench, or by way of some other means. In this case, it was by other means as a previous testing...

Schematic drawing of 116 Front Axle.

Next best thing to owning one - these had to be one of the most beautiful shapes, especially with the top down - just magic. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzi3xPYL78o&NR=1

The next step is to re-foam the flaps and, wherever possible, the distribution flaps in the removable bottom section. I am not sure if the last named procedure is necessary, but I trey and do it anyway. Consideration also needs to be given to thickness of foam. Too thick, and maybe it won't...

This is a common problem on 116 models - when the sliders become inoperative, it means that either of the two flaps has gone into the 'overcentre' position and become stuck. This invariably means that the foam that's glued to the flaps has disintegrated. It is in fact the foam that prevents...

This is probably one of the most important, and dare I say, troublesome aspects of driving the Chassis 109 - 6.3. The main problem relates to the overfilling of oil from the main body of the pump to the Governor housing. As a result, the petrol mixture is compromised by oil contamination...

Slowly and surely, I have reached the finishing straight in the re-spraying and re-furbishing process on Gleaming Beauty. Of course, it is imperative that I thank Michel for helping out transport wise whilst Gleaming Beauty has, and continues, to be in 'hospital', and I also need to thank...

At long last, I am close or have reached, the home stretch in the restoration of my 6.9. Sincere thanks must be extended to both Michel for helping out transport wise beyond the call of ANY duty, and to Jerry for carrying out such an excellent 2K - resparay job in two tone - something I have...

Most 116s are afflicted with that problem - sometimes it can even be unsightly. I have endeavoured to adjust this out when fitting replacement dashes, but success has been somewhat limited. We have now devised a process that will straighten this timber fillet. So far, complete success with one...

I am looking for a buyer on behalf of one of my ex-customers. The asking price is $6000.00 - reasonably firm. It is an early model - about 1976 - with the 8:8 to 1 high compression engine. The gearbox has a slight leak from the gasket area - mainly from standing around constantly. Engine is in...

From the photos, it appears to be a very nice looking car. A couple of observations and queries from and to the knowledgeable: http://www.justauto.com.au/justcars/buy_and_sell/for_sale/d0b4c4ee-02e3-4e5c-83b5-1902ead0796c 1. Appearance wise, do the seats look like leather ? Recall the car in...

Thanks to Tony's efforts, and thank you for that, we now have details of where the really GOOD oil can be purchased - I am talking of course Amsoil, Redline, Royal Purple. This is a starting link...
