Hi Stephane, Thanks...My friend who owns the garage where my car is specialises in Alpines..we have all the manuals..to maybe explane better... the part in the diagram is 12...on your gearbox because you don,t have to turn the diff. 180 degrees you should have the rings in the non-adustable side...

Eric, Have a look at..motorgeek.com..view topic..Audi v8 to Lotus Esprit..the guy Hilly used the origonal Audi ECU & modified it to suit..he will build an ECU for anyone doing this conversion..I have Megasquirt 2 with MS Extra code it will do knock sencing & anything else you want. Cheers Eddie.
