Yep, A/C car but with the condenser missing. I reckon I will either remove the A/C pump and reposition the PS pump, or get it working again. It was a bit warm inside it last year!!

That's a good point m8y. If I take the PS belt off and the whistle disappears, I think that inlet manifold off will be the way to go.
Speedy has flagged a few things to check first, including...
Any thoughts on a quick and 'easy' way to remove the PS pump?
I still have the whistling noise that I think is associated with the steering, but to be honest, it is so loud it is really...
EPER shows a single rod to dual rod mechanism which looks like it was on very early models.
IIRC, this was very similar to early Integrales, although that is based on a relative telling my what...
Yep, that looks pretty much as I would have expected. It looks like your gearshift is cable controlled, so I would have cut the rod pivot off the casting to stop the shift cables rubbing against it,...
Interested to see the pictures and understand more about what mounting point is being referred to as needing welding.
Looking at Fiat EPER, the part numbers listed for the Q4 rack overlap with...
IIRC the 145 quick rack and 155 Sports pack rack that some had is identical. Subframes are the same on both cars, so the rack mounting to the subframe should be the same.
Hole in the bulk head is...
I had a bit of a fiddle with the electrical connections and hoses last night. If the gauge is in PSI, then converted I got 1.1Bar on the gauge after fiddling (if its inches Hg, I got 0.54 Bar which...
:):):)
The world became dark and I heard thunder, or was that the car starting to tear up the tarmac!!
Does anyone know who supplies new pierburgs?
Thinking you might be right.
I switched the two bottom hose connections on the pieburg a short while ago to check it had been connected up properly. As expected, less boost.
Swapped the...
Used the Q4 for a weekend away, and other than some idiot kicking the wing mirror off early Saturday morning, the car performed really well.
It is the first time I have driven it for a long...
OK, did a lot of investigating this today. BiL supplied a lot of help in the logic of how things it works, and then we got started making mine work.
- Tested each motor off a battery - Checked out...
My car has the original water spray bag in the boot, and it looks like the engine bay electronics are there, so I have been studying the article here on the water spray system to see what else I need...
Chrs chaps. That is the rule I will follow also.
You may be aware that I had a 33 S2 1.7 QV Sport Wagon? Well, still got it and hope to do some work to it fairly soon.
Some may be aware that I had a late S3 1.7 8v saloon in midnight blue...
Quick question, and apologies if the answer is on the forum somewhere, I have trawled a lot of threads but can't find it!!
Will shortly be changing the balancer belt and cam belt on my Q4. All...
Been quiet here for a bit, but quick update, been working on the 16v in preparation for the 155 Mallory track day next weekend.
A few things done:
- Tracked down the rear end vibration and...
Any pics? Would be great to see it.
Here is the CDA in place

Really struggled to find a source of fresh air at...
Decided to give the red 16v some love this week.
I was away on a DofE bronze expedition over the weekend helping look after a bunch of students. Some parking up on rough ground dislodged...
The swap with the blue 1.7 8v went ahead yesterday, so sidetracked by this although I have finished the big brake work.
I am being a bit lazy and copying this from my post on 155.org, but here...
Interested in this. Useful info here.
Blue 33 passed its MOT today.
2 advisories, small centre section exhaust leak, and brakes pulling slightly to one side.
Quite pleased with this. Very clean and tidy underneath, and drives...
Got a spare set of front hubs sorted this week - new bearings and a splash of paint after a clean up. These are now ready to go on with the new brakes which have also been cleaned up and painted.
...
Yep, same here.
Mine does not show elevation changes though which would be very handy for overtaking.
