Well it has ony taken me 4 months to get her back on the road, but back on the road she is and growling nicely. All parts supplied by g60knight - my eternal thanks to that man. Incidentally Fast Road Conversions who manufactured my exhaust and checked her out when running agaijn, identifed a faulty HT lead which was causing a misfire, fuel igniting in the manifoild which made her run hot and ultimately ignited the air intake inducting above the manifold during the fast idle test.
So Caffyns Brighton, MOT'd a misfiring car and when it failed the emissions test (surprise, surprise) then decided to run a fast idle test - is this incompetence to a new level?
Cheers
