hoff Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 would there be a specific page/post that I am looking for? All of it really Graham. Rob thought his engine had blown and that it was unrecoverable. And I imagine a hefty bill would have been due to sort. But shes alive now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T2 MSW Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Glad its running but there is a fair old list there of issues to resolve, Do you think some of those have been caused through the FPR pipe issue? You going on Sat then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob wild Posted October 22, 2007 Author Share Posted October 22, 2007 Glad its running but there is a fair old list there of issues to resolve, Do you think some of those have been caused through the FPR pipe issue? You going on Sat then? If i can get all the bits and piece's i need to fit and replace before sat then i will be coming including the starting and idle issue. I don't want to drive it long distance until its 110% but hopefully i'm not far away from having it back fully time well that is until Mr Lane fits my new BL box I think that some of the issues were caused by old age but the distribution block definitively did for some of the aux and the fpr pipe causing some of the other problems.
