  1. Here in Germany, too, a "holistic" approach to injection is always a major topic. Temperature of the fuel, pressure of the pump, swirlpot of the tank, diameter of the tank drain, double pump, cooling of the ignition coil, etc. So there are many possible reasons why a PI does not run properly, especially at higher temperatures. But at the end of the day, there is always the realization that there is no single cause or measure. And there are TRs that run perfectly well and others that are a pain. I have not yet been able to establish a connection as to whether TRs with a lot of additional techno
  2. Have checked all the papers. Found nothing, Just the BMI-heritage-trust certificate.
  3. Is it possible to make these inquiries before a sale takes place so that the potential buyer knows in advance what to expect or not to expect?
  4. thank you so far. Some sounds greek to me. Perhaps I thought too simple. The plan is (was) just spend some days off in the UK with my own in Germany registered car and sold it.

Then probably brought to Germany together with the first owner (a soldier in the British Army of the Rhine). I am the third owner. Sooner or later I will have to part with it and I think it is more in demand as a RHD in the UK than here in Germany. My idea now would be to take the car to England and sell it there (combined with a nice trip). But: what about VAT, which has been an issue since Brexit? I'm hoping that there
