Hey all.
Thats it! Ive been beaten!!
Have had a few years of non starting etc and finally cracked it by adjusting the timing a few degrees..
Cut a very long story short thats no fault of my own, the car now has multi problems incl possible Head Gasket, No drive from Gearbox, Rattling, Heavy smoke and iratic tickover.
The car has done 220k miles and so im kinda considering throwing a second hand engine and g/box in her..
Has anyone done it? Any tips? Can it all come out through the front fitted together?
The cars worth around £1000 i suppose (N reg) but theres a few "good" engine and gearboxes around for £400 so am tempted..
May be an easier call than trying to repair what problems i have.
Im handy with a spanner, and will be using Forklift or overhead crane to take it out.. Just wondered if its a simple as rad and slam panel out and it all comes out?
Anyone any experience?
Many Thanks
