Bit of update
so while on the dyno we discovered a few drops of oil under the car. A bit of investigation reveals the most likely culprit is a cam seal…. Annoying! So at some point I’ll have to pull the front of the engine off and install a new seal.
I’ve also been speaking to Brett at BDE and will be purchasing his now PS pulley for ATi crank pulley, which will resolve the issue of it spitting off its PS belt.
I’ve also been going through the datalogs of some of the drives I’ve had to identify the cause of the imbalance of fuelling between banks. While I’m not sure it’s totally the cause, I have found that the alternator is not keeping up with demand. While the pic shows voltage drop during a pull down to 13.06v, wider analysis identifies a direct correlation between the fuelling of the engine and the electrical systems being above or below 13.5v. So I’m going to have my alternator inspected, and if it’s performing as expected I’ll either look at having it uprated to 120amp (to offset the 24amp draw of the 525lph pump) or if that’s not possible I’ll look to upgrade to a 200amp unit from WPS or WOSP.

Hi there, the time has now come for me to part with my 300, dont want to, but the tax man demands it of me.
I dont know how much to advertise it for, so i'm open to offers.
Ok, here goes
Its a 1990 model (I think)
Private plate (H4 BAH - valued at £600)
Black
Twin Turbo
T Bar
80,000 miles
lots of recipts
6 CD changer in boot
Graphic Equilizer
Amp
600 miles ago, I had the engine and both turbo's replaced (no real need to, just wanted it to last longer - cost me £3500)
Comes with 2 spare alloys (my local alloy centre worked on a 300 so I brought the old ones, guessed they would be hard to find when needed)
Has all of the extras, electric windows, mirrors, seats, climate control, cruise control.
The only problem I know of is that the Anti Lock lights is always on, brakes seem to be working fine, just not had time to get it sorted.
I would love to hear some ideas on how much I could look at selling it for, or is someone is interested.
I have a number of pics I have taken of it, inside and out that I can post to anyone who is interested
Thanks
Matt
