  1. Hi Alan. Unfortunately I won’t be there. I’ve just had knee surgery and I’m unable to drive or walk very far. Hope you all have a lovely Christmas and I’ll see you in the new year. All the best. Neil
  2. Sorry but I won't be able to make it as I'm at work.
  3. I will be there with the car weather permitting! ☂

    Exhaust

    Original Robin Hood exhaust and manifold with heat shield. Manifold is from 1.6 pinto. Exhaust it heat wrapped and Heat shield doesn’t have any securing straps so you will need to be inventive! £110 the lot or can split. Buyer to collect from Sunderland or arrange a courier.

    Thanks for your advise. There is a vent on the fuel filler so wouldn't cause the vacuum in the tank.

    I’ll give it a go thanks. No silicone was used but there was some dirt in the old filter when I removed it.

    Ian. It has a manual choke which is fully working. Thanks for your input though.

    It’s brand new from Bestek and the same was happening with the old coil but thanks for the reply.

    Engine cuts out

    Hello all. I have a standard 1.6 pinto and after a couple of miles it coughs and splutters back fires a couple of times and stops. Leave it til the next day and it starts first time but when driven it’s stops again. The car only passed IVA last October so I haven’t been far at all. Since this started I have: Changed the manual fuel pump for another. Filled the tank with new petrol (super) and put in an additive. Removed the old distributor and replaced with Bestek ignition system. Set the timing to 10 degrees as per Bestek instructions. New NGK spark plugs. New HT leads. Re Plumbed the fuel lines and taken out any sharp bends. Checked the diaphragm in the carb to see if it had a hole and was pulling air in. All to no avail! Next step is to swap the carb and after that I’m stumped. Has anyone had the same problem and or any clue what it is I can do to put this right? Many Thanks
  13. I'll be there, also in the Kit! See you then. Neil
