No it didn't hahahaha

I have one lined up as we speak. My auto box is funny on the upchange on 2-3rd, Lucas tranny fix worked 100% for 3 years but it's returned now. Doesn't do it on manual over ride though

Hi, yes I will when I get home. Currently in France for a week. I don't have a clear pipe on mine, just get heavy duty fuel pipe. I'm sure that your fuel pipes shouldn't be sweating fuel. However after reading the earlier post re no gravity feed that would explain why I got an airlock at just...

You finally got round to it! Yay! :D

My NRV is in the pipe from bulkhead to filter. I've had my lift pump fail twice and never even noticed :D

I finally sussed that out after playing around with the pump and the DTI. So I did towards the engine then too far away then brought it in slowly to 0.9mm towards the engine. Anyway it can wait, the MV is getting love and attention today. Bigger bar end weights fitted, new oil and my new...

Didn't move much at all. 0 at BDC and 9.2 at TDC on the DTI. Once I locked off the flywheel it was about 0.97. It was running roughly / hunting until I started to tap the middle section around to get it to run smoothly. I have got it running at 750rpm it's just that it's smokey. I refilled the...

Looks good!

Yep, thought so

How long does it take in reality to check and re-time my timing chains? When I tried to undo the FIP nut I didn't have the locking pin in place on the flywheel. It went backwards so now I'm concerned it's timing re-set time. It was blindingly obvious after I did it. I did have the RAVE print out...

Static timing is good now, not so bad really, just vvvvv time consuming. Ok finally worked out what 0.9mm lift was. Not 9.0mm that's for sure. Anyway reassembled now and the car starts. Hotfix still fitted so it runs ok until the timer cuts out then about 5 seconds later so does the engine. I...

Thank you - I'll watch that shortly. Time to see who's going to be EPL Champions! I've run out of day now so TT back down South again. Clutches are not nice in our crappy motorway traffic these days.

Ok 5mm cut off the pin - guess what? Now it's doing it's thing :D

and I need to be in Truro for 9am tomorrow...........

Sorry Viton seal - should last a lot longer. Apparently. Today's saga is that the DTI kit - for P38's! Well it isn't quite. Comes with 2 needles inside. Sizes 2 big & 2 small. If the adapter tubes were slightly longer then said long needle wouldn't be too big - it would fit. What this means is...

Good luck! This is a job on my "to do" list!

Fuel injection pump: Took 6 hours to remove all the rubbish and go to Halfrauds for the 17mm sump tool to remove the tension pulley. Changed all the o rings, installed a viton on in the HP head and drinking a cider for a job well done. What a ****ty job. Tomorrow as Mr Haynes once said "fitting...

I read about what happens when you turn the engine backwards... I don't fancy that

I have the locking tool, not sure about the gaskets you can do it without taking the head off from what I've seen. (Hopefully!)

No, no trailer. I have all the locking tools, dial gauge and stuff. Also have replacement o rings for the FIP. Why is it always that lower o ring you can't get to? :rolleyes:
