Could simply be a batt with enough power to turn it over but not enough to fire the injectors. did it run until you disconnected the jump leads? or did it stall out while still connected? Have you stuck a diagnostic on it? Welcome to the asylum by the way!!

Rang up the house insurance peeps for the UK today, managed to get nearly £100 knocked off the premium. Result! :):):)

Well they are both aircooled as well! My dad had one, a firm's car so I never worked on it. My wife's Chesil Speedster is powered by a very tuned VW aircooled flat four and talking to the mechanic at Chesil was how I found out that they have no gasket. I have always disliked anything...

Go on then, do tell us! VW aircooled? ;)

:eek:

in the past I have sprayed the inside of the car with flyspray just before shutting it up. As you say, windows up etc. Best of luck!

Also check with a long straight edge that all pulleys are in alignment.

Funnily it was the left one that he fiddle with, but this was in Merkin land where I understand they do not know whata roundabout is!!!

Just been watching a Youtube linked from another thread about how to get your wheel alignment done. Why do Merkins always sound so patronising? About 24 mins of him pushing computer buttons and then tweaking the front toe in a tiny bit. Bit of a joke really! ;)

Next time go to a tyre selling/fitting place. They are much more set up for it.

You poor, poor laddie! do hope the missus is dispensing tea and sympathy in large amounts. PS, what did you get for the one the neeb gave you? 🤣 🤣 🤣

I love the fact that @kevstar put a sad face on this one!!!🤣🤣🤣

No, no, no no, no. One like mine!

He'll need to see a surgeon first to mend the hernia in his wallet!! 🤣

But not in your engine, Right? don't want to give him the wrong idea! 🤣 🤣 🤣

some nasty neighbour coming along and rocking your car once you are safely back indoors? Do you have a Ring doorbell or summat?

I imagine he is already sat there on the sofa, rocking, with a hot water bottle full of water and ice-cubes around his head. Wonder what sort of group he could join? "I-actually-paid-for-somethingaholics anonymouse"? 🤣

Only obvious to you. The exhaust manifold being warped makes a noise like a squeaky belt. Have a look at that.

Oh dear! did it hurt much? So sorry. Much sympathy for your pain. now what type model number etc, all the goss if you please!! 🤣 🤣 🤣

Have to admit, if anyone gave me one with an egg in it, I'd take the egg out and throw it away. Only like eggs when cooked cetain ways. If twas an omelette or scrambled, I'd love it!!
