    Pete Berry did the cambelt for me. I got lucky in the bottom pulley, this had been broken for a long time

    Replaced with a Terrybullwon chrome steel version.

    I reckon so, the random pinging seems to have gone

    Just a quick update, I have to report that since I relayed the fuel pump direct from the battery this old car is pulling like a train.

    The coupe just about sailed through the MOT, only issue was a broken boot retainer in one of the plastic droplinks I fitted for the MOT last year.. and a rear tyre (I supplied a spare one I had in the shed)
    While she was in there I also asked the Garage to do a 4 wheel alignment (first time since fitting the KWs) and she steers very nicely now.

    I've had it running on the Maxxecu but swapped it back till I can get it mapped.
    I bought all the books you suggested and had a read but no time to play really..

    Finally found my phantom water leak, been bothering me for a while as I kept wondering if the head gasket was going..
    Turned out to be the heater pipe take-off on the back of the block.




    I contacted Andy and he sent me over one of his K24R anodised spigots. Job done and no more leak.
