Re: cambelt help....
So as it turns out it wasn't me trousers up!! At least not in the way I thought. I couldn't get it running nicely after triple checking timing marks and adjusting dizzy, but no cigar. Apparently the dizzy was shorting somewhere? Didn't have a chance to pick up the car before they closed to ask them ...

Re: cambelt help....
So the cambelt/timing annoyance continues, my distributor is totally seized basically had the mounting nut out and the thing is stuck solid. I am beginning to feel like my quest to save money and learn some skills was a stupid idea. I've tried gentle leverage and tapping, penetrating oil, got the ...

Re: First time roccer
Although it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows with the day, various rummagings around the car have found that, the front passenger side jacking point has a rusted through hole to the side of it, I think this is because there is evidence of a previous break in attempt at the top of the door from ...
