But tonight, after a few hours here and there during the weeks, she fired up! I wasn't quite jumping around, but I gave it a few blasts on the horn to tell the neighbours! Lol
It was a great sound to hear her fire up after all this time!
I watched as the temp needle was flicking about a bit and see it creep up to 3/4 and started to panick, but I bleed the system with the heaters on full heat, and it stayed around the half way mark and topped it up a little as a bit of water was lost bleeding it. Where do other people's temp needle lay? I'm sure it used to be on the 1/4 mark. There also didn't seem to have pressure in the expansion tank, I could just open the cap when the engine was hot?
I had adjusted the tappets and had the injectors cleaned but it still sounds rather tappy?
It's a start, and I have a long way to go for a resto to bring her back to her former glory, I have bought a new rear quarter from Germany, rear arch repair panel, 2nd hand front wings, Beadymatt has 2 cills at his place I bought off of him, will be buying 2 new inner arches, and hopefully a leather re-trim later on. I will start a new resto thread when the work begins
