Need help with car problems (North of London, Bucks) - Bengley - 12-09-2012
So I tried to do the stage 1 tune with the lucas pump, but one thing lead to another and now basically I can't fix it without help from someone with more experience.
The car is undriveable as I have lost the plastic max fuel bolt cover inside the engine somewhere.
I also need to do a cam belt change (I have bought the belt and pump) but I don't think I have the knowledge to do it myself.
Is there anyone nearby who can give me a hand with this please? (of course I will pay you for your time)
I need the car before saturday and I feel like a right idiot now

The pump doesn't need replacing though :/

There's a guy in Southall who will change the cambelt and give a warranty too- Scott used him, and if you send him a PM will be able to provide his details
RE: Need help with car problems (North of London, Bucks) - Scott - 12-09-2012
Where in Bucks are you?
In all honesty if you're doing a cambelt change and you're having problems with the lucas, it may even be worth just doing a conversion to the bosch pump at the same time?
RE: Need help with car problems (North of London, Bucks) - vlj - 12-09-2012
You can get replacement caps, not necessarily the metal style one. Fozzy has a plastic screw cap that makes it much easier to undo rather than keep hammering away at it. PM him as I don't know where he got it from.
RE: Need help with car problems (North of London, Bucks) - Pompey306mark - 12-09-2012
Told you it was a bitch to do. Contact krisB as I said get him to get his mate to collect the car and let him do the pump conversion, cam belt and suspension.
I know you have the means to get this done mate.

He's near high Wycombe iirc. The only person nearby I know of is jonnyb but I wouldn't have thought he would know too much about dervs
RE: Need help with car problems (North of London, Bucks) - Bengley - 12-09-2012
Yeah, I'm in a town called Chesham. Will try and contact KrisB but I do need to do this before Saturday so I hope it's possible!
RE: Need help with car problems (North of London, Bucks) - Scott - 12-09-2012
That's not terribly far from me, and I know the area fairly well. I don't have that much experience with the diesels but I'm happy to come over and lend a hand/try to figure it out if you're desperate.
RE: Need help with car problems (North of London, Bucks) - Bengley - 12-09-2012
That would be great! When are you available?
RE: Need help with car problems (North of London, Bucks) - Pompey306mark - 12-09-2012
I am kris kris can fit you in. I have texted him to let him know about the situation.
RE: Need help with car problems (North of London, Bucks) - Dum-Dum - 12-09-2012

Lol should be I am sure kris, the troubles of texting from the hot tub lol.
Kris replied and said he is in the shops and will be online after mate.
RE: Need help with car problems (North of London, Bucks) - KrisB - 12-09-2012
I may have a metal cap going spare, but I also think it may be incorrect. I'd just grab another from a scrappy at least to get the car running. Or if you've cracked yours then maybe try melting it back together.
I can also do you cambelt and waterpump, £100 labour and can do it asap but you'll need to get the car over to me, and can do before saturday.
I'd say I could get someone to collect the car but his truck is currently un-taxed.
If you need me, PM me or email thru my website.
RE: Need help with car problems (North of London, Bucks) - Bengley - 12-09-2012
Argh! I may not be able to get the car to Kris before Saturday. I'll PM stevieg - at the very least I need the car running by Saturday - the timing belt can wait!
RE: Need help with car problems (North of London, Bucks) - Jonny81191 - 12-09-2012
may be able to get one to you if you're desperate as I have a lucas kicking round
RE: Need help with car problems (North of London, Bucks) - Pompey306mark - 12-09-2012
Bosch. Save you time and money in the future.
Your taking the belt off anyway.

There's this but delivery is 4-6 days. I could, of course drive to Romford to get it, if my car was working!
RE: Need help with car problems (North of London, Bucks) - Pompey306mark - 12-09-2012
No wrong one.

Need something like that.
And no need to pay £100+. Full setups can be had for sub £60.
RE: Need help with car problems (North of London, Bucks) - Bengley - 12-09-2012
It's frustrating - I can't even get to the scrapyard without the car, it's in the middle of nowhere. I'm lost for ideas.
RE: Need help with car problems (North of London, Bucks) - Pompey306mark - 12-09-2012
See if you can find someone to transport it to kris. It's 54miles so not very far.
RE: Need help with car problems (North of London, Bucks) - Bengley - 13-09-2012

Yeah, I chipped the area where the cap screws into with a chisel, it's leaking from where the chip is.
RE: Need help with car problems (North of London, Bucks) - Ricky - 13-09-2012
You sure it's tight enough? When I had a Lucas my cap was chipped to hell and it still sealed
