  1. Thanks for your information. I checked everything over yesterday, there was an earth loose and I found the engine earth strap disconnected (how I missed that I dont know)I thought I had solved it until this morning when I attempted to bring her home again got a bit further this time though before coming to a halt. Got it going again and managed to continue the journey all be it in first gear. After all the tampering with the timing an electrics whilst checking over again for the 100th time I noticed the hose coming of the fuel filter was folded shut. Rectified that and road tested. Hooray.
  2. Ok so I went to my garage this morning to pick the Robin hood up and drive it home to do some cosmetics. Got to the end of the lane (about 50 yards) and all the problems were back, obviously not fixed. Really testing me now, any more ideas before I take to stripping the head off.
  3. A bit of everything I think. Never run right since I picked her up last may. Over the past 12 month's she's been garaged stripping down and rebuilding as she'd been stood in a barn for 10 years. Done everything cosmetically so decided to get her running right. I found the coolant sensor plug ill fitting and a bit dirty but giving correct reading. Sorted that but still not running properly. For some reason when I put the timing light back on it was way too far advanced. Adjusted this then hey presto. Thanks everyone for the advice it got me there in the end.
  4. Cheers guys I think I have sorted it 20200405_110621.mp4
  5. Hi I've changed the coil and it's no better. Would the coolant sensor be the one on the inlet side by number one cylinder green wire coming off it.
  6. Thanks will check them after I've changed coil. Thanks again for the advice.
  7. Thanks. Have looked at this it seems to be opening when the cars running which I believe it should. But the symptoms still there. Will take it off anyway and clean thanks for the advice.
  8. hi guys I have a problem with my 2ltr pinto efi. It runs, starts and drives as it should when cold, but as soon as it gets a little temperature in it it looses power and pops fire down the exhaust. Ive swoped all the usual culprits ie plugs, leads , distributar cap, rotar arm, fuel filter, checked timing changed fuel (as it stood for many years) have i missed something silly. As i drive it out the garage its on full power, turn it around and almost have to push it back in. could it posibly a coil breaking doown. has anyone experienced the same problem, any advise welcome.
  9. Cheers but no steering lock on my column and already have the immobiliser
  10. Thanks will look into it deeper tomorrow.
  11. Hi everyone Three weeks ago I purchased a sterling excel thatchcam cat 2 transponder immobiliser. If anyone has purchased one you will know they come without instructions, I have tried numerous times emailing the seller for information and been promised wiring diagrams but nothing yet. I'm now getting frustrated as the iva is getting closer. Has anyone got any information on this unit they could post on here. I'm fitting it to my robin hood 2b powered by the 2ltr pinto fuel injection. Anything would be appreciated. Thanks.
  12. Hi I'm interested in the small side repeaters set of one and the two robin hood grills. Thanks Lee

    Iva retest

    Hi all I'm a newbie to this forum. Last month I purchased a 2b unfinished project from 2002, the model with the sliding pillow suspension. It was taken for the iva test but failed put in a barn and forgot about. With the car I got failure paperwork and other documents, my intentions are to finish the project and enjoy it. After cleaning it up ang carrying out the alterations I'm going to book it back in. My question is how long are you allowed between test and retest as I know I won't get it right first time . Thanks all.
