It made a massive difference once the throttle body was replaced, but the pedal pot would also throw an emergency light on. I'll replace the pedal pot eventually but I've connected the white / yellow wires together and that has solved the issue. Same hot or cold tbh

Ive managed 10,000 miles of 3200 ownership, all issue I've had is a couple of failed water pipes (she had only done 10,000 miles in 12 years before I got her) a failed coil pack and a throttle body. The car would hunt badly on idle and the throttle would stick which was scary, never not started...

Here is my 3200 at the Norfolk coast camping

Hello, what price do you have in mind Thanks Jon

Yes, mine have seen better days

Thanks, I'll see if I can find them

Anyone purchased these off eBay, if so are they ok???

Forums like this are such a valuable place to learn from. The heater on my 3200 had just started to play up, so after reading this a wriggle of the wires and all is good again.

Im early 50's and do find night driving is not so much fun anymore, but we have a Giulietta tbi as our daily with projector lens lights and even they are so much better, it's disappointing that a 60k car from new still has rubbish lights

Hello everyone, the headlights on my 3200 on dipped beam are quite frankly hopeless. I have upgraded the H1 bulbs with Philips top of the range bulbs but they are still useless. What type of bulbs do you all use, have you gone down the HID or LED route to improve vision at night Thanks

Thanks for all the replies, I've got my 1st MOT with her in April, so as soon as that's out of the way I'll get in there and sort it

Hello, I recently had a coolant pipe split on the maser from the thermostat to the engine, since then I keep getting knock sensors. Is it because the V is flooded with coolant, and once the coolant is evaporated, will the faults stop, or am I like to need to get 2 new knock sensors? Thanks

Hello, Where is the best place to get a Thermostat for my 3200. Mine just sits at 70 degrees Thanks

That's where I'm from, Just outside Norwich. It's definitely not a blocked scuttle. I'm on holiday so will get her on some ramps and check her over when I'm back

Hello, My 3200 seems to have developed a water leak. It's not coolant as I have tasted it and it's not sweet and clear. The amount is around 300-400 ml when the car is stopped, but drips continuously when the engine is running. I know air con systems drip, but that's quite an amount. Any ideas...
