Looking on Fleabay has anyone used one of these ? any positives or negatives ????

I have been looking at this also and have noticed TR Shop has these shown in their brochure online

Mike
Many thanks for the update, sounds like you have cracked it.
I am yet to check the fuel pressure at MU as have not got all the equipment organised, only recently got car back together after Diff refurbishment and Lubrication of all UJs + got Car MOT'd.
Can you advise on the following
1. Battery type you have fitted (amps)
2. I have heard the upgraded power cable for pump should be via relay, is this correct and if so how can i identify if i have one in place already as cannot find anything as of yet.

Hi Mike
Voltage : I know my car has had a new feed wire installed to Bosch pump, i measured voltage at pump recently and seemed ok about 13-14 volts. However i have never completed this when cranking, I have always had a suspicion my battery is too small so i guess this would prove theory as looks lost in battery tray.
what battery power should i have ?
Fuel Pressure : Yet to complete this, i have the 3/8 BSP T Piece, can you take image your set up, to give me some guidance please as never done this to date.
You Guys still Meet at Plough ? I saw Tom & Tim at Barrington last year just after your Italy trip, I should pop down and get some advice

Yes agree.
I attended a Lea valley group run last year and was pleasantly supprized about how easy other PI TR s started after each of the stages, my car always needed choke and was clearly coughing and spluttering before it cleared its self and the choke was switched off.
My car has the Bosch 996 pump also mounted outside boot under rear near side arch, over the weekend i took the car for a run as only just got refurbished diff back in place and pump was noisy at end of 30 min run but not hot to touch, any ideas ?
I would like to check my fuel pressure and have 3/8 bsp T Piece to fit, but would like your advise on pipework and gauge to make meter.
Question : do you guys fit meter and leave in place or fit and simply place threaded bung in T Piece when not in place ?
Thanks

Guys

Yep agreed thats what i would expect but it won't start without choke ?
Cant believe this is right way to start car from Hot

Guys
Need your help my PI CR Car starts from cold with little fuss, but i cannot seem to find happy setting to start when hot if left for 1/2 - 1 hour.
My cold start as follows (no problems)
1. Bosch pump let run for 30 seconds
2. Full choke
3. usually starts after a couple of turns of keys whether left for 1 week or 1 month.
My Hot Start
1. Bosch pump 30 seconds
2. Half choke
3. Starts but clearly over chocked and i quickly have to reduce choke to minimal to maintain reasonable revs, then completely off.
Am i doing something wrong ?
What do you guys do to start yours when hot.
Car CR Pi Car, running Bosch pump with electronic ignition (Accu Spark). Choke connected in both positions (metering unit & throttle body)

For Andrew P
I have the same set up as you on my Car and have a question regarding the rocker cover breather connection.
Like my set up, you show small additional filter in one of your images and you seem to at a later date converted to a pipe split by Y connection. Did you add this install oil catch tank ? as this is something i have been considering as some oil drips from filter attached directly to rocker cover.
Would appreciate your advice on this one
Thank you
Andy

Hi i have these fitted to my CR TR6 car, can you take some pictures of where the clash is taking place. I can then take some pics of my set up for you to compare.
Hope this helps

Guys
Thanks for all your help, i am learning fast
Today i have contacted some suppliers for costs of refurbished diffs and costs to refurb my own. There is a clear difference between some suppliers offering refurbishment with "New Crown wheel & Pinion" & those that are simply "Refurbished CW & P."
What would you guys recommend as best option
refurbish my own unit or buy refurbished unit, notice there is a guy on eBay offering TR 6 diff refurbishment
So many choices would appreciate some advice on recommended suppliers
Thanks again

Hi All
Looking for some further advise please, following on from this topic i have completed the following :-
1. Last weekend Drive shafts removed and all 4 UJs & 2 spines checked for play, all look good, re greased and re assembled.
2. This weekend Propshaft 2 UJ's checked and splines seams fine, Disconnected UJ between diff and prop. Differential seems to be culprit as knocking slack sound holding prop and rotating driven wheels.
In summary Seems to me to be excessive backlash between gears in diff !
Can anybody advise best option for either refurbishment or replacement diff (recon etc) Cambridge area
I am contemplating doing the job myself as doesn't look to difficult one rear of car raised safely
Your thoughts please would be appreciated.

I need to ask a question, would i be able to feel noticeable play in the UJ that makes it obvious cause of issue. also how big of a job is this for home mechanic.
e.g. does the exhaust need to come off to get at Prop Shaft
Andy

Neil
Thanks for prompt response, got to be honest i haven't tried feeling floorpan would that would that indicate prop shaft UJ ?
Another point to note my Diff leaks oil from Pinion Seal, i have topped it up using oil pump twice (each year) but never felt like it was totally dry when i have topped up as not even one pump gets the level up.

Hi Guys
Would like to Introduce myself, Andy from Cambridge, this is my first post and to be honest i am addicted to reading the posts and used these to resolve many issues over the last 2 years of ownership.
I need your help, 1975 CR model uk registered original PI Car with overdrive.
My car seems to have a vibration feel & noise from rear of car starting at around 40mph, on reading previous posts i have read first stage is to swap front & rear wheel over which i have completed today which didn't resolve the problem. I therefore feel confident to say it does not appear to be wheel balancing or tyre condition causing the issue.
The vibration is there with Overdrive engaged & not engaged and does not seem to go away with speed increased, certainly still there at 60mph.
Thank you in advance for your help
Andy
Fuel pressure gauge

thanks for your feedback but i was enquiring as to whether anybody had used one of these for PI Fuel Pressure test ? 100+ PSI and if so how did it perform ?
I also have used something similar for compression testing but my question was connected to fuel pressure testing.
