Terry Shaw TS Autos - recommendation

Anyone who has ever had their car looked after by him will I am sure agree with me that you will appreciate the depth of his knowledge, expertise and thoroughness. 18 years after my car was assembled at Cowley, he corrected gaps on the shut lines of the doors that I had certainly never noticed. I am sure he must be the only guru still working on our cars who actually assembled them 😊. All the best, Nicholas/Zircon |

I spoke to Terry earlier today Nicholas, he has a wealth of knowledge and immediately improved my knowledge of the fuel pump system.
Thankyou very much for your help Terry, it was very much appreciated and saved me from the proverbial. Now to get on with it......... |

So this afternoon I fitted the replacement pump and filter, a doddle for someone with little hands and arms, a challenge for the rest of us 😂
I took some close up pics of the plastic pipe work as I’d mentioned to Terry that the pipes were split from the damage caused by the fuel. A couple of gallons of fresh petrol will be bought later and then...... Anyway, some pics. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

5 gallons of Texacos finest adde to the tank, remove the relay and turn the engine over a few times for 5 secs, replace the relay then fingers crossed.......nothing tried again, nothing, I get Karen to switch the ign on while I listen to the pump, a thud every time it’s switched on, the damned thing is seized,.
It’s not electrics as I then tried another pump and that worked. A message to the seller and he’s sending out a replacement. Nothing is ever easy.......🙄 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Hi Dave. Typical NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-’s law. Will you be a happy man when that bursts into life. Can not be far off now. It will be like you have won the lottery. Must congratulate you on your persistence in getting it finished. A good many would have give their neck by now. Will be great to see it up and running. As an aside I am having the timing belts done at Lates Saturday morning, so not long before we come down to see you and Karen.I will keep my fingers crossed for you when you get the new pump.

Hi Dave, Karen was full of beans after I'd put the fuel in, " c'mon c'mon, get it started"
I have to say I was a bit miffed when I found it was the pump again, I can hardly wait to take that apart again and refit it all....., new pump should be here Monday. I really am looking forward to getting this car running , tho I don't understand why someone would pay £23000 for a car then just abandon it when it broke down Good luck with the car on Saturday and we look forward to seeing you again. |

Re zt
Just catching up on this thread, wow I remember this car on eBay and you winning it. The 1st thread finished that long ago I thought you had sacked it till I noticed part 2. Well done for sticking with it.

Being on furlough has certainly helped with getting this 190 back up and running , waiting for the key with lockdown in place seemed to take forever. This car has also played host to a bodge artist after it broke down, I really don't understand why people pull things apart then try to reassemble things very differently. Still, fingers crossed when she's running it should just be a case of replacing the consumable parts........I was smiling when I wrote that. |

Before I did anything I fitted the battery, then plugged the replacement pump in to make sure it worked, it did so onto changing them over.
Once it was all fitted I pulled the relay and turned the engine over a couple of times, put the relay back and turned it on, then I went to the pipe to make sure there was fuel, a lot of air under good pressure came out followed by the fuel, off and on with the ign and started her up ���������� She fired up and ran for a few seconds then died which I expected, started her again and she ran albeit rather lumpy. After stopping it I plugged the code reader in and it said crank sensor malfunction so the new one was fitted together with the new coil pack. Started again it she ran much much better, looks like she needs a replacement manifold as that was knocking and rattling. There’s also an air leak somewhere on it as she is holding the revs for a good 10 seconds before dropping back down. I shouldn’t complain too much, she’s been sat for at least 9 years , so today Ched is a very happy chappy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Last edited by Ched; 4th August 2020 at 12:06.. |
