hi been reading some of the comments on the exhaust stud problem . try motor shops or factors for fire stop they use it on furnace pipe joints you can use it as a manifold gasket even if the manifold is warped just apply in the hole & along top & bottom of joints to the head it can also be used anywhere on you exhaust system.. rich
many thanks for the info ill look into that mate never heard of it but it sounds good to me do you no how long it will last for
Just in case anyone can't get a secondhand one, I see you can get complete new 280 x 280 units for £26.32 from markle leisure http://tinyurl.com/nnnqbd
hi white been using fire stop for around 10 years as needed it lasted around 3 to 5 years on an old peugot 505 with a exhaust manifold that had badly pitted. i had used a grinder & made a mess of two ports the fire stop was around 4 mm thick to cope with the gap it sealed & was never a problem with mots or changing exhaust downpipe solid as a rock as they say used it to seal water joints like thermostat gaskets if you get some its the tube paste not the tin powder that you mix i would use it without doubt rich
Due to a senior moment I have broken the opaque toilet window of my 1990 Talbot based Elddis Autoquest 270 motor home. Regards, Ted.
When the engine is running, everything shakes/vibrates, even when the van isn't moving. Rev the engine and it's worse. Changed the engine, gearbox and differential mountings - no difference. I've spent ages lying on my back under it trying to figure this one out but I can't see any part of the engine, gearbox, or exhaust, touching the bodywork. Has anyone else come across this proble, and, if you did, what was the cause? Or are they all like this??
Don't take this wrong but is it actually firing on all 4 cylinders? Vibrations of the magnitude you describe suggest it isn't.
Can the exhaust move freely? As I have heard of someone who bolted their exhaust up minus the rubber hangers ending up with the same problem you describe. Hope this helps

This is such a superb and valuable site for all talbot owners, is there anyway we could have sub threads off the main one. There is so much info but it is difficult to keep the threads going?? Cheers Nick
Regarding exhaust rubbers. the exhaust should have 4 off partco number UNR 4 . Also make sure that somebody hasnt previously replaced the long studs and springs arrangement where the exhaust downpipe mets the manifold, with nuts and solid washers. this joint should be able to move slightly. There are a couple of places where the exhaust can run very close to the body and can touch and cause vibration and noise if it is slightly out of position. Incidentally I have also added a hanging exhaust bracket right at the end of the tailpipe where it hangs below the edge of the body just to help take the weight and leverage effect of the tailpipe sticking out at right angles.

what a wonderful mine of info! We're motorhome virgins, having just picked up a 1993 Talbot Express Autosleeper Symphony. As the guy we bought it from was selling it because his wife died and he'd never used it (it was her's) we have NO info on anything! The Zig unit is a mc-3000 (or that's what is written on it) and we are trying to find out whether this is a dual system charging set up? Is there an easy / obvious way to find out? Also, is there anywhere we can get hold of a Symphony manual? I've started to read through all the pages in this thread and am up to page 11, taking notes as I go, but 180 pages will take sometime. We're really excited about our new baby and looking forward to many happy times in her.
