20000rpm? Jeez - I know 8v's are pretty hardy, but you must like the impression of the valve gear on the underside of the bonnet even so

 

Misfiring under load but OK when not under load would have me looking at the ignition coil and HT side of the ignition first of all

just looking at the revs, he could have said 2000 revs would that make sense ? changing to second

It'd certainly make more sense than 20k yes! Given that most only rev to around 7!

Difficult to be sure what you mean here but do make sure your engine mounts aren't shagged. There is a certain amount of 'give' in the standard mounts, usually the top mount will allow quite a bit of (forwards/backwards) movement which you can see if you rev the engine (with the bonnet open!) but check you haven't lost any mounting bolts

it is hard to discribe, if you go to hard on the gas that is when it throws a wobbler ,feather it out and your fine,someone has said it could be the clutch?but a lot say it's the electrics? it's baffled the garage

and it is at 2000 revs the problems at

As people will know from some of my dozy posts, I'm not an expert, but do these have a vacuum advance on the dizzy? Revving fine on no load but bogging on load sounds like a duff advance ...

thanks, spoke to a chap today,he thinks it could be the engine mounts that have gone what do you think? as the change from 1st to 2nd is savage on the mounts

Norm, I would recommend taking the car to someone who knows 205s. They do have a few niggles that are specific to the car, and most garages probably haven't been asked to work on one for years.

I could look at it for you if you don't find anyone else who is closer.
