  1. Too late for this....the old dizzy was removed this morning. I'm now talking about setting up the new dizzy without knowing what the original was set at. (I wasn't around when it was removed).
  2. HT leads are in the same order as before (marked them in advance to make sure ) Hmmmm. one tooth out, Will the following help: Remove the dizzy again Set the engine at TDC. Insert the dizzy making sure the rotor faces number 1. Try engine and adjust tick over by twisting dizzy.(if it starts?) Then use timing light to fine tune.
  3. Can anybody help.... Robin Hood 2B with 2.0 Pinto was working ok, until fault found on wiring to distributor. Fitted new distributor and car keeps trying to start but backfires and never gets going. Can anybody give any advise or fancies popping around Sunday for tea and cake. (Brum area). TIA Dino & Nikki
  4. Although I was not there had to baby sit our 3 monsters but Dino I did not break the hood its been running fine for me I was even out in it yesterday. But you keep leaving all those mods you keep buying in front of her and you keep telling her you cant wait for winter to take her apart no wonder she wouldn't start for you thats no way to treat a woman
  5. CHEEKY i can fit my bum in the seats !!!!!!!!!!! you have been told stop messing and get the bloody thing on the road so i can drive it to the shops
  6. We are coming for the first time with our caravan but a bit worried about space as its a twin axel does that matter ? I dont do tents.thanks
  7. Did you ever fit a non-return valve or go electric pump in the end? Curious, as we are renewing all the fuel pipes and wondered if it was worth fitting a valve during the process.
  8. The whole car is an old girl everything needs upgrading there is no batter tray, old connectors so the whole lot needs updating that why we was looking at this battery as its smaller and give a bit more room for the wires. Just wanted to check that it would start the old girl :-) so think i will order this thanks
  9. The battery on the car at the moment is a cheap very old the car has been a non runner for 3 years we charged it up last week started the car but battery has died since and not charging we wanted to try and get a smaller battery to free up a bit of room as wires are everywhere its a 2lt pinto
  10. quick question as my head is buzzing we have only just got a Robin hood in need of love but we think the battery is duff. Can anyone help as to what sort of battery is best im so confused what sort of CCA we should be looking at saw this on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Odyssey-PC680-Race-battery-Brkt-Bundle-PVR25-Lotus-Elise-Exige-2-eleven-Elan-/151200276372?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item23343d1f94 thank you Nikki
  11. H Guys i can tell you the Mrs ( me) will not be letting hubby do anything to this car this year it will be going for a MOT test, washed and being driven very carefully by us both lol then when we know what we are doing a bit more will start to upgrade maybe over the winter next year although im sure after visiting Stoneleigh im sure we will both have our note pad and pens to the ready
  12. oh i should mention i have 3 monsters under the age of 10 thats why we brought the kit car to get away
  13. We will be there although i dont do tents do you think the Robin can tow a twin axle caravan lol
  14. Thanks will keep any eye out for some 15inch along with all the other bits we want
  15. Thank you Ive just changed my pic to the new car although not the best pic. maybe once she has been cleaned up a bit we can see if the steering gets any better but cant wait to see some of these shinny clean cars.
  16. Just checked its a sliding pillar to be fair it only gone from the trailer into the garage and it stopped running ( battery dead) we only brought it yesterday so cant really say if any of the normal options like tyre pressure ect as waiting for the batter to charge as we speak :-) We are just making a very big list of the things we want to do and need to do as its has no MOT at the min and being left standing for a few years although it started first time and sounds great. Hubby joined the club last night and we are looking forward to getting a chance to meet some other people and im sure our list will get even longer
  17. Right me and hubby brought a 2b the weekend :-) its needs some tlc to get it back on the road but we are very happy but we have a few questions can anyone help. Question 1 - Can we fit 13” super-light racing wheels on the Robin Hood and can anybody recommend where from and what type? it currently has 14s normal wheels on but the steering is really heavy was hoping this change may help a bit. Question 2 – Any advice on change from single carb to twin carbs on a 2.0l pinto engine? Question 3 – Recommend any motorsport retailers (links etc…) Think thats it for 5 mins Thank you
  18. We live by Marston Green not far from the NEC we are new to the world of kitcars and are looking to buy a Robin hood built and on the road to start with so we can get used to how it should be done lol. Ive heard a lot of mixed reviews about the car but i love the look of it and really we just want some fun. We might pop in so if you do see a strange couple stalking the car park its us thanks
  19. Hi me and hubby are looking to buy a kitcar and was wondering if any of you will be taking your cakes this evening as we are local and wondered if we could we we could see one in the flesh thanks
