VW magician needed.

Recommended Posts

Anybody know of a specialist near the Brighton / Eastbourne area to sort out a few little niggles I have with the VR. All the usual garages I use have asked me to tow it home again.

 

Anyone had any experience with these mobile car electrician things?

Is the engine still not turning over and feels like it has a hyrdaulic lock or something?

 

Did you fit the cams the right way up? Easy mistake to make.

The engine has been running since the rebuild, sounded lovely, even had that whistle which I never had before. Mechanically I think its sorted. The hydraulic lock was probably down to unburnt fuel cos there was no sparks. I towed it away from the garage who got the hydraulic lock, took it to a local garage and it started there, he drove it into the workshop then it went back to not starting again.

 

Starting to loose it now, want it sorted so I can sell it then get a 16v mkII which is what I should have done to start with. Problem is I'm struggling to find anyone who wants to know. Baring in mind I need to tow it wherever so I'm looking for something local, otherwise Sealth or such would have been called a long time ago.
