I cleaned everything down and gave it a thorough inspection with a halogen lamp but couldn`t find a thing
However changed oil and filter and put a piece of cardboard on the floor
Touch wood its still dry
So hopefully it`ll stay that way

Well guys look what arrived today



Haven`t got em on yet though as been helping the missus wi the housework

get them on tomorrow and the brakes refitted and bled again

[mk2ddc]

Well got my wheels fitted today and really happy with them. Totally transform the car. So easy to fit aswell and the rears have no clearance issues either as the arches were rolled

I must admit Mike it wouldn`t have been my first choice of colour when i was hunting for one but now i don`t think i would have any other colour to be honest .
I love it as its so different and very retro

[petrolhead]

Looking great!

Im the same with the colour but its growing on me all the time.

Hope to see it this season.

Car was meant to be at the auto sparkie but he keeps fobbing me off with "fully booked mate phone next week" . Dont think hes interested to be honest so i`m going to go elsewhere as he has had his chance
Anyway been trying to get her started today but shes not having it
Filled her with coolant and no leaks,filled with fuel again no probs. Hooked up the battery removed the coil to dizzy lead and turned her over to check for oil pressure which was spot on. Checked i had fuel at the carbs which was also perfect. However she just kept turning and turning but not firing. Think i need new points cap and rotor arm

I`ll get there eventually

[mike77cos]

You'll get there mate

Keep your chin up bud, it'll soon be a distant bad memory and you'll be smiling again.

Yeah its one of that feelings like " Its so close but so far"
However i won`t be defeated

[SHIFTY]

your getting there mate and she's looking braw!

[mk2ddc]

Well another unsuccessful day on the car. Removed the dizzy cap and coil lead and condenser and points and rotor arm. Cleaned everything as they`re more or less new anyway sprayed it all with wd40 put it all back together , held ma breath and turned the key but she still refuses to fire .
Took out all the plugs to check they weren`t petrol soaked but they were fine. however tried it again but no go . So gave up in disgust and cleaned the missus turbo instead

Might need a bottle of this

So you have fuel and spark? If so is it timing? And what's the compression like, have you checked the valve clearances?
