How strange, every Dedra including turbos had the ecu under the back seat and the eper and manuals show it there? Looking to seeing it finished, are you bring the Dedra to the AGM? Brian 8227  It is very strange indeed! Everything I've got, or read including the Factory workshop manual says it should be under the back seat so I'm as baffled as anyone. I fully intend on going to the AGM on the Sunday, no real reason why not now. I will see the car this Saturday so it will have had a week to produce any gearbox drips, very confident the cardboard under it will be dry. A fresh MoT should be simple in a week or two then I plan on using it a lot so any niggles should be ironed out by the AGM. I look forward to seeing a few guys down there, quite a rare car nowadays. |

I'm looking forward to seeing another nice nice Dedra again. There are so few about these days. At one time, we had two as daily drivers, owning 5 over a 12 year period, they were very underrated. Brian 8227 |

Hi Kev, Great to see another one of your restorations almost completed  . I only caught up with this thread about a month ago as I usually look through the Delta section of the forum. Fairplay for saving a such a rare & interesting Lancia, the quality of your work is impressive as always. I used to own a Dedra 1.8 se over 10 years ago & was very happy with the build quality & the way it drove. So what's the next project Kev or are you having a break? |

Cheers Rob, I too had a Dedra 1.8 back in the day followed by a turbo version so when this one popped up local it was hard to refuse!
As for the next project I already have it lined up, have had for a few years actually. 1963 Flavia coupe that's sat under a pile of stuff. I'll be starting on it soon hopefully

Yes I can just make out a Flavia shape under all the detritus  . Looking forward to seeing that one getting some much needed TLC. The Dedra interior looks stunning Kev, you must be very happy with it . Keep up the good work fella. |

Yes hope the MOT on the Dedra goes well Kev, I'm sure it will.
Great photo of your two integrales, there can't be many Lancia collectors with a Delta & Dedra integrale!

Only the Delta is the integrale version Rob, the Dedra is a FWD turbo using the same integrale 8V based engine, they do make an integrale version of the Dedra but mine isn't one. As much as I'd love one though, like my Delta I can't do with LHD so happy with the pairing as is. Test now booked for 9-30AM Saturday 13th, at least it's not Friday the 13th! Delta booked in for the following Thursday so I'll have a nice choice of 4 door red turbo Lancia to chose from |

MoT went without problem Rob, however the car has an on boost issue which obviously never reared its' head until out on the road!
Still trying to solve it in time for the AGM..
