Pressure release valve on Honda steering rack

Has gone inside.

Turbo coupe doesn’t engage turbo in 3 and 4

I’ve got my first turbo coupe.
When I’m in 1st and 2nd the turbo works
And occasionally in 3rd but in 4 no joy
It just revs.
Could it be the clutch or turbo.
Any ideas?

Re: Rover coupe tailgate dash light?

Hi
Thanks for your quick replies.
It was the wiring loom. 4 cores had

the boot and in the tailgate.
Everything lights up dash and boot light.
Thanks again
