hi, ive just bought a p reg highway star, in spain. my intention being to re register it in spain.
my question is, can i get lhd headlights and are the headlights compatable with other vehicles?
ps it came without a stereo, what is the standard or recommended unit?

thanks in advance,

mark.

ive also noticed that when its cold it ticks over very slowly, as soon as i put any steering lock on it cuts out, any suggestions ?

thanks

revs should be around 750

[jimmyrev3]

if you press the heat button to left of steering this will give higher rev to warm up quicker

[marktasker]

thanks for the replies, is it normal for it to kick out black smoke when in reverse, i`d say not. any idea of the problem ?

[jimmyrev3]

If it tries to stall then revs go up it may be your pump,see engine cutting out ih helpAlso clean out your air seperator diamond shape plate on inlet manifold lift passenger seat to get to it ,two 12mm bolts pull it out and clean it will be thick with oily gunk

thanks, will have a look and reply when i get a minute, .
the air seperator was just like you said,half full of thick half dried oily gunk.having found the "heat" button, it happily ticks over at about 1100 rpm when cold, but if i turn it off (whilst cold), it tries to tick over at about 700 rpm then cuts out.
there is a warning light on, on the top row looks like a gearbox.
thanks again.

Mine was kicking out alot of smoke when starting and idling low. I would also have to give it a bit of throttle to get her to fire up.

I got a bigger battery(more power to turn the starter n to heat the plugs) changed the heat plugs as they weren't at they're best(fuel not being burnt properly causing it to smoke) and i sprayed wd40 into the inlet manifold to remove all the crap you removed off the air seperator(obviously if air separator is dirty the inlet manifold is more than likely the same). A couple of squirts(dont use loads) then shell be able to breath a bit better.

Now all of this is done she dont even smoke first thing on a cold morning she starts first turn n she will sit there n warm up without the heat button if i wanted. And i stick 5ltr of petrol in with anything over 30ltr of diesel every 3-4 weeks sometimes more to clean out all fuel lines ect. It cheaper than buying red-x as the main ingredient in red-x is petroleum
Hope this helps
