Thanks for all your help guys, you are BRILLIANT. I had to wait till I finished work but took off the plenum and found one of the rubber seals had moved. Put it all back carefully and it started first time. Engine feels like a dream now. The timing with the old belt was off by about 3mm on one bank so I made sure i set it was spot on and it has really made a difference.

The dvd is a fantastic aid and I would reccommend it to anyone. Thanks to Marks commentry, explaining other things on the way, I discovered that I need a new non-return value too - I can't wait to see the difference that will make.

Cheers guys
Chris

The one way valve wont amke any difference to the engines running but, it will stop the Plastic valve mounted on the radiator melting if the exhaust starts to fail and block!

Got an email quote from LVM for £57 so I might go for this one.

Sounds expensive....you could always block it off and remove the air injection....its not realy required.

Everything was fine. Car sounds beautiful and runs well but then, key is stuck in the ignition now - it won't turn all the way back so I can't remove it. Anyway now the EML light is on and stays on. I did the paperclip test and I get 16 - Knock Sensor 1... Anymore ideas?

Ignition key stuck. I assume this is an auto? If it's anything like mine, take it back out of park, then put it back in (and wiggle the gear selector side to side in Park) then the key should come out fine.

Thank you. It did not work as for you, but it did free the key when I put it into neutral. So is this the keylock or the gearbox switch that is faulty?

Hi,

I would put my money on the gearbox switch, as I have just tried mine, and I cannot take the key out in any other postion than Park. I remember reading something about reseting the selector, and being able to remove a cover near the PRND321 plate. It may be that it has worked loose.
