Allegro Club International

Just a question about a recurring problem. It's something I've asked about before. When I start the car up first thing if I blip the throttle I get quite a bit of blue smoke. If I don't touch the thro ...

Hi again Paul,
My car is fitted with an early series 3 A+ engine that was fitted by a club member who previously owned the car.
I have written an article for the Quatric magazine that will explain a ...

Hi Paul,
Thanks for the advice. Looking at what would need to be done I think i'll keep the car as a 1300 and try and improve it.
Thanks again.

I'm looking for a complete 1500 engine for my estate.

Hi All,
As I said in a previous post I think my 1300 estate is a little under powered. I am considering changing the engine for a 1500 unit. Can anybody tell me if this is a straight swop or not? Wha ...

Thanks for your advice. The dizzy is a complete new electronic unit from powerspark not an electronic ignition unit fitted to the original dizzy.

Wow, What a response from you all. Thanks a lot for all the info. I think you are propbaby right Peter and this is the engine you fitted. I have now had the cylinder head redone and fitted a new clutc ...

Hi Graham,
You were quite right the engine number is missing so i suppose there is no way to find out which engine it is.
Hope you don't mind but i do have another thing that puzzels me. After strip ...

HI all,
In August of this year i bought an Allegro estate,as some of you will know, The problem i have is that i cannot find the engine number and want to know that it's the correct engine. I have th ...
