Fixing Andy's car today....

[Adam_Luce]

Well after sunday the car not starting once the cambelt was changed. I turned up at around 12 ish to take another crack at this pain in the bum Car.

Got all the belts off pullys and covers removed to get to the cambelt got the cam set at TDC removed the cambelt and Andy phoned MR D excellent help on the phone sent us a nice email with info in. So got the crank at TDC refited the belt set every thing else you and turned it over by hand first to check all is well.

Then comes the best bit Andy looking worried when he started the car was ticking over nice yeay then he turns to me and says the battery light is still on silly bugger forgot i hadn't fitted the alt belt yet lmao.

Runs sweet now even went and got a rocker cover gaskit as well we left it running it started to pour oil out near the dizzy cap lmao

job done. Big thank you to MR jamie D and also andy for the nice meal after. Oh and a nice big thank you to Nat for the lovely coffee and mince pie

good stuff lads, i think now andy's up and running, your car's not rattling now you've tensioned the cambelt and i got 4 matching wheels on, we should go for a thrash and break the golden welsh rule and take some pic's!

I will upload some pictures later. Yes I am a car hypocondriac! Now all I've got left to fit are the rear seats, clocks and dash. I am going to spend some time doing this on the weekend.

I am very very pleased

Rob, Jamie and Adam thanks for your help.

As for a drive. Sounds like a very good idea.
