MK2 Phase 1 Auto Sleeper 2.0

Postby Jimbbobw1977 » Mon Jun 26, 2017 5:45 pm

This has been purchased as a bit of fun.

2.0 pinto 67k Miles MK2 Phase 1 Auto sleeper, 1982. It is fairly tidy had a recent respray done.

On start up it emits a puff of white smoke, though in general it's not to smokey. If it's left idling for a while it will occasionally cut out.

It's had an oil and filter change today, spark plugs done, trying to source an air filter

I can't post photos off the iPhone unfortunately!

The heater matrix needs sorting as it's leaking, also the temperature gauge isn't working and I need to try and source a Phase 1 headlight as the reflective coating is coming off

Ashford Chroming do a rechroming service for metal backed headlamps (I presume ph1 is metal backed). There will be other companies who do it as well.

Not sure how much it costs but might be worth an enquiry if you can't turn up a good cheap replacement.
