DG found quite a few probs today- coilpack was the most costly- the plastic casing was completely split open and hanging off! Also (apart from the full service) freed up the brake bias valve, fixed the immobiliser, adjusted the throttle damper and cable, replaced oil cooler seals, bled clutch, replaced V-belt + tensioner. Also replaced the auxillary waterpump and the gearbox mount (both of which I'd already bought). We fitted the BMC too- sounds amazing now. Really enjoyed the drive home- felt so much more responsive and smooth.

The BMC does make the vr sound very nice

watch out for this - it's often a precursor to rust around the windscreen seating...

 

not wanting to be the bearer of bad news or anything, but be warned...

 

hope you get it all sorted anyway pal - if you've got windsceen cover on your insurance i would "develop" a crack and see if you can get a bit of time between when they take it out for you and when they put it back in - get it provisionally booked into a bodyshop in the interim...

 

 

edit - lovely looking motor btw - looks like you've bought a good'un :)

It's amazing how something so simple can absolutely transform a car 8)

Cheers, Pete :) Gonna have a go at the windscreen rust in the next few weeks with some Rustoleum ;) Hopefully that should sort it...
