if i could id come down and help you out, alas the cars broken

 

Damn Rovers!! haha... no worries thanks for the offer anyways! I might need some help in the coming weeks if no one is able to help this week...

Hehe thanks... one prob im having is that i cant get the darn spark plugs out... Ive got two different 16mm tools and neither fit in the hole!.... any suggestions?


The other is how do i turn turn the flywheel to line the timing up... Im a bit worried about taking the engine mount off and resting the engine on a jack as i only have the scissor ones that come with the spare wheel. but ive been told thats the only way to do it (because i cant see any timing marks above the flywheel...

What d'ya mean they wont fit in the hole?

Um, tbh get to a shop and get a cheap trolly jack. scissor jacks arnt very safe.

 

I can be about this weekend mate, although sounds like your pretty much sorted already (and besides, do you really trust me working on it ? :lol: )

If your down south though, gonna go to the meet on sunday? Would be great ta see ya again!!

 

i would offer to help, but i am not up to speed with those funny high reving little things you lot have under your bonnets..... and my trolley jack and stands are at the folks place still - can't wait til i move....

As above tho a sparkplug socket is prob what you need and you can get cheapish trolley jacks from halfrauds or better built ones from machine mart....

Good luck with it though!

 

I was gonna ask how this repair was coming along!

 

i think it was delayed to this weekend... but with this weather it may have been put off again

 

Still stuck unfortunatly... Tim was unable to make it as he himself is having trouble with his own car... and yes the weather isnt helping although the car is jacked up in the garage...


Im deciding what to do with the car now as its not something im able to do on my own as my car knowlege just isnt good enough, so trying to find someone that will help for beer tokens/bacon sandwiches/tea/coffee..:dddc:


Failing that i might just sell/scrap as it is...




Cheers,
Matt
