A few years ago I had something similar; a Zetec engine so may be different to you but this post has some good diagnostic techniques that helped me:

My issue was low oil pressure caused by a badly made oil pickup in the sump which led to big end bearing wear. Took me 3 months to work it out, though... 

Thanks pal

Just got back from a lovely drive out but I had to nurse my car home after it developed a horrendous rattle... 

What's your thoughts does it sound terminal.. I think so lol

Hi all,

I would like to fit a set of bike carbs to my 2.1. my question is will the vacuum advance retard dizzy work ok with this ? 

The vac pick up is still from the manifold but at x4 separate points..  

Or has anyone done a dizzy change to a none vac set-up ?? 

Thanks for that

Hi guys 

I have recently purchased a RH 2b that is an unfinished kit. I will no doubt be on here every 5 mins asking for advice but I was looking at my engine number today and was wondering if I could get some help in decoding it ?? 

JL72068 is the number. 

Good tip... thank you. I was planning on a full strip and rebuild as it the only way to ensure it all ok. 

Thanks Mark 

The Q plate sounds the way forward...

Hi all 

I'm a bit new to all this kit car stuff  so would like a bit of info if any one can help..

I'm looking at buying a RH 2B which is part built with no paper work or registration info. Are there any pitfalls I need to know about  ???  Also

Would it be possible to get an iva and on the road without this paperwork  once its ready ???
