I have another question regarding the Mk1 boot floor. I have started making up the repair panels and the boot floor seems not to be flat. It curves up away from the petrol tank towards the back of the car. Is this how the floor is originally or should it be flat.
many thanks, Tom

Boot Floor repair panel Mk1 Saloon
Several small holes have revealed themselves in the front left hand corner of my boot floor. I have tried all the normal searches for a repair panel without any luck. Does anybody have a section of boot floor I could purchase as a repair panel.. or any suggestions for the repair? Many thanks Tom

difficulty starting when warm
I am having some difficulties with my 2500S starting when the engine is hot. Typically at a motorway service station. After opening the bonnet and waiting about 20 mins it starts again. I would appreciate any suggestions what might be causing this and how to solve the problem.

Re: Missfiring
I tried the red rotor arm but unfortunately it didnt improve the situation. The distributor does have a bit of braded wire so I will try this. (still on points) Is there not a potential problem of damaging the coil by bypassing the ballast resistor? Compression still to be tested.

Re: Missfiring
Thanks for your comments. Mike I meant condenser. It started off as a missfote on a single cylinder but now seems to be less isolated. I'll start with rotor arm and wire.

Missfiring
Hi, I am running a 2500S in Berlin. It has been suffering from an intermittant missfire which is becoming worse. It was a short dropping out of one cylinder and now it has become more of a splutter.

Power steering fluid leak
hello, I have an intimitant leak from my power steering..on my 2500S from 1977, its coming from the drivers side flexible rubber cover on the rack.
