Tacho service
I’d noticed that my tacho needle would bounce when changing gear. Here you can see me changing down a gear at 2500rpm, and then up a gear. What the needle does however is bounce up to 4500 and down to…
Winter Jobs: Droopy seatbelt
Droopy seatbelts, aka a seatbelt that doesn’t retract properly, is a common sight now for Cerbera owners. You can see in this photo it’s gathering on the floor in the rear footwell. A temporary solution is to spray the belt…
Winter Jobs: Quaife Diff
