Cars fixed! No hunting, no exhaust fumes from the front but had to bodge it with exhaust paste after tightening it with the new stud didn't work and moving the exhaust into a better position. See how long that lasts... Cambelt, water pump and the 2 auxiliary belts fitted and tensioned up. Had a little problem with it idling for a while buts that's fixed now, we just reset it and its now not hunting as much and idling properly.
Flushed it out a little with water and a dishwasher tablet but needs more so I'll do that once it's on the road. But everything checks out. Except the dash. The dash is from a 1.8 and I know the oil temp won't work but everything else should but it's reading a little low. When the coolant temp was true 80 it was reading 70ish on the dial, and when the revs were true 850 it was reading around 700-750. Bit strange... Any thoughts?
New rad cap fitted as well which has a seal and will do for now, least it holds the pressure.
Serviced it as well. New sparks, fuel filter, air filter, oil filter after draining the old Brown oil.
Now ready for the MOT which should be happening Tuesday!
