Thanks Robin

Car is stuck in garage.

When checking the rev counter again its definitely moving when cranking but looks a bit out of sync with engine turning. Could this have any effect?

Thanks Robin

Thanks

Well tried taking cap off and nothing obviously wrong Took king lead off and checked for sparking when turning over. Single spark seen each time when I stopped cranking.

Does anyone have experience of car with similar mods (exhaust, air f...

Can anyone recommend somewhere for wheel reconditioning in the Aberdeen area? I have some corrosion and kerbing on my S1.

I would like to drop off the car rather than remove the wheels etc.

Thanks
