Cheers. Only comfort i can take really, is that it was on tick over RPMs, and that the rest of the valve didnt drop out!
I dont consider it a bodge either! , gutted about the valve!
Cutting a crimping all the wires, when you can just solder them all nicely away in the foot well, but ok.Quote:

So when you want/have to remove engine rather than just unplugging the loom from the car you have to either cut the wires in the footwell or remove the engine loom and starter loom from the engine, good logic! FfsQuote:

Yep. No offence but i have spent a fair bit on the car and i wasnt about to rush/bodge it at the last crucial moment! Which is why i am even more cheesed off! Took my time, did it all right.
No no, dont get me wrong i didn't mean that. Just when you said primed the engine as long s the pressure was up everything should have been filled with oil.
No, you use the nova starting/charging loom. Which is 3wires to remove when you remove the engine.Quote:
