Hello again. Apparently it is the air inlet diaphragm that lets the air into where it mixes with the fuel. My uncle has apparently tried eight of them, and none fit.

It took some fancy work with the clutch to get to a quiet turnoff on the roundabout leading to a h...

Hi, Thank you for allowing me to join this wonderful site. I own a J reg 1992 214Si which was bought new by grandfather from Royles in Alderley Edge, Cheshire.
