  1. So I have got hold of a VTR engine black top I think people call it ? and want to run my xs tu3s head on it , but have found the tu3s block top engine mount and water housing and gearbox is not the same , I thought it was quite a simple bolt on job ? Or have I got the wrong block ?
  2. Hi all just joined and first post on here. I have a XS with a TU3S K2A engine. I want to rebuild it to its original specs. Can anyone recommend a good guide other than the Hayne's manual that details out the steps of stripping down and rebuilding? Also where to find genuine OE parts to use for the rebuild? Thanks
  3. Hi guys, I've got a strange issue with my 1989 205 XS, the car tends to run really well and is still quite quick however the car will usually stall if I'm slowing for traffic lights. The carb reeks of fuel after I turn the car off and often 3 or 4 drips of fuel will drop from the carb itself after shut down. The strange thing is that if I use the accelerator pedal to hold the car at around 1000rpm for a couple of seconds it'll then hold a near perfect idle! I've tried looking for vacuum leaks with no sucess, I've replaced the dizzy cap, rotor arm, leads and plugs. I do suspect that the car is running rich, it smells that way and is not too clever on fuel at the moment. I was thinking about getting the car on a CO machine this weekend and dropping the oil out whilst I'm at it. Anything else you think I should try? Cheers
