The overfuelling is a strange one - I thought a 1979 Royale 2.8 would have a Solex 4A1 carb? Opels had Bosch L Jetronic.

Re: Electric vehicles, pros and cons. Have your say.
EV fires and the incredible cost of repair means that EV insurance has more than quadrupled. Some say a ten fold increase - that's what has led to the insurance hikes for proper cars. I'm waiting for a channel tunnel EV fire or a P&O being evacuated mid channel. Only then will folk wake up and s...
