There is no sensor for the tacho, it runs from the ignition module (EZL) which reads from the crank sensor. If the crank sensor fails the car wont run. It may just be the connections on the back of the tacho.

What condition are the HT leads in? Which brand of cap and rotor did you fit?

Just wanted to confirm that when you used easy start it tried to start, or nothing at all?

Colin Ferns are in Richmond, maybe worth a call?

Which part of London are you in? There may be someone close by that can take a look.

As said above, get it recovered back to your house. Swapping random parts and crossing your fingers is not the way forward.

The single pole sensor you found is the one your looking for, IIRC there is another port for a sensor further forward of that one which you can put the w123 sensor into.

These cars are fairly easy to diagnose except if the fault lays with the fuel injection system, not many garages now know their way around that now. I would suggest you get the car back and verify the basics before you throw any more money at it. 1. Does it have a good spark? 2. Do BOTH fuel...

My thanks to you all guys, has it really been another year already?

It's just a vent, nothing connects to it.

They all do. Some models have the vent directly off the modulator valve, others like this 220 have a short length of vacuum hose between them. The bulge at the end should have a fine mesh screen inside to stop dirt getting in, it links to the modulator valve that sits infront of the passenger...

Don't forget to check if the 190 propshaft is long enough, you only need to change the front part but it might be too short.

That is to vent vacuum pressure from the gearbox iirc, the oil will be ATF. Nothing to worry about unless it's gushing out of there.

As your dogleg box came from a cosworth it should be the long input shaft version, so you need the older solid flywheel to match. I'm assuming your going to bin the EZL and dizzy and run 6x coils? If you are it wont matter if the flywheel is for a 4 or 6cyl engine, if your keeping the EZL setup...

That's the front crank sensor, which is used for diagnostic purposes only. It plugs into the diagnostic port near the EZL module. The proper crank sensor is at the rear of the engine.
