Lucky you! Haha, that will hopefully make yours a lot easier. Takes all the guess work out of where it should be fitted if it's been decided for you  |

Updated first post to reflect current progress.
Finally got to do some work within the engine today. Did new leads n spark plugs, adjusted tappets and fitted rocker cover gasket. Some others like new bulb for reverse light etc.
Also last week we adjusted some bearings in the front, worked drivers side but we need a new CV joint for passenger side front I think.

is it easy to adjust the tappets?
I should do it when i change my rocker cover i guess

Fairly easy. Dad says the only "difficult" bit is when you're tightening the nut back up you have to stop the screw turning as it will change the tappet setting then.

Looking good dude I would get a new set of side repeaters though, they're letting the side down a bit! lol Cheap as chips on ebay, loads of colours too Tappets are easy peasy, only fiddly bit is turning the crank when you're down a very uneven and potholed track lol  |

Post by jb on Jun 9, 2009 10:55:18 GMT 1
Cheers guys Yeah side repeaters are rather faded, pick up some standard orange ones at some point  Also assuming you're pushing the car on this potholed track? Jack one wheel up n turn that instead of pushing down the road? |

Didnt have a jack And the track was too uneven for me to use the mini jack safely. Wasnt that bad tbh, just thought I'd have a moan about it hehe |
