Rather him than me!
Sweet, i mayhave to swing round to Stu's and a nose at the mess!
Nice progress.. love the white paint with the other paint
Hello,
Well Stu has been working solidly last few days on the old girl.
About 5.30 last night it was time to see if it would start!
Fire extinguishers at the ready we pressed the button. Engine turned over, few blips of throttle and it fired up for the first time in a year!!
Few small fuel leaks from the goodridge fuel hoses, just need a tweak with a spanner & should be ok.
Didnt want to idle too well & the Stack was light for low oil pressure so turned it off.
I then remembered i hadnt set the throttle pot or idle screw on the throttle bodies so that should be why it didnt want too idle.
Looking at the Stack its reading -99 so that 'should' just be a oil pressure sensor problem & not an engine problem.
Sorted a few more things then about 7.30 before time to call it a day tried to start it again after setting throttle pod and idle as per SBD with the voltmeter.
Battery then flat & no jump leads, charger or jumper pack to start it, wheeled it back into garage!!
Everything is looking good, Stu has a couple of things to sort on the alarm to get pin switches working & central locking, wire up Fiat Uno wiper then loom it all up with special tape to make it look pretty.
Then viola get the old girl back.
Cheers
Martin
Sweet :) Bet Stu's happy!

Did have an issue with rear brake light not working. I checked the bulb, obviously but not very well!!! Stuck new bulb in after bit of head scratching and hey presto.
Hear you popped down yesterday morning. Just missed you i think.
Yea called in about 10:30 to see how it was going, looked a right mess to me :)
At least everything works now and it can be tidied-up...
One the loom starts to get taped up when its all working how it should be, then it will all come together & look top notch.
Martin, do you still need these window's?
