Ha..I shall answer my own query..he couldn't do it because he had the car up in the air and was trying to do it from underneath. Gotta come in from the top. Happy days.

Short of taking half the front of the...

It is injection, d jet. I have replaced the injector seals, apparently there are other seals inherent to the inlet manifold, it's those I'm wanting to replace.

Thanks for the replies, as ever. The car has Pertronix fitted, and the timing is bang on, so I don't think either of those are affecting the lumpy idle. I think it's vacuum leaks from the inlet seal...

Tickover in park

Hello,

School me again please...when I put my W111 into Park, the tickover rises from the level it was at, regardless of whether it was in reverse or drive. Not a massive rise, maybe 100-200 rpm....

Does it? I don't see how..the white dot is a solid sticker type thing, as opposed to the visible bulb in the knob for the hazard switch for example. I'll have to take a closer look.

Ok..makes sense..didn't think of that because car has no heated rear screen, but screen has been changed. I imagine a '71 3.5 coupe probably had a heated rear screen as standard?

Thanks.

Alright :) Thanks for the quick replies.

So I can stop worrying about trying to fix that then.

On another note, why would a downshift be more abrupt than an upshift?
