The car is now back on my driveway :D :D :D


Couple of niggles to sort out (Kevin, Chris and I between us broke the vac tank with all the in-and-out). Also, slight ligter noise still under acceleration, which MDTM has a theory about; but nothing like it was.


Thankyou, Mr DTM, for taking the time to diagnose the fault, and rectify :y. And for putting the prop shaft back on ;D

So have you swapped him for the Golden Nugget then?
You'd better keep him occupied or he'll be back playing Casey Jones and you'll never get it sorted. ;D ;D
Err,no.  The golden nugget wouldn't make it out of Brackley I suspect, let alone 70 odd miles to Nottingham ;D
Not convinced it would make it off the drive TBH ::)

Is the pipe that connects to the ICV the same on the 2.5 as the 3.0? If so, stick it in the boot when you come down (assuming it's in good condition) as I need to replace mine when the plenum is off to do the cam belt! :y

dont remember Kevin touching it either

Furthermore, I distinctly remember TheBoy standing there holding a piece of it, and saying "Oh, Darn" or words to that effect. ;)

Good to hear that she's basically on the road again. :y

Hope there wasn't too much LPG loom dragging on the road behind you.

Indeed.  In fact, I know I caught it when we were turning crank over from underneath  ::).  But we were working as a team, so share the blame and the glory ;D

Did you get the PM I sent last night or has it been nuked already?

There's no "I" in team, etc.  ::)

I suppose we can share the blame for not noticing the fubar lifter as well, then. :D

Scuttle is still off (but both wipers on now ;D), as LPG needs finishing, so will hear any noises more.


Got a tap noise at start-up, which goes by time fast idle drops to normal idle.  Tap is there, however, when accelerating.  Car has not been over 3000rpm yet.  Lifters should have settled by now. Have some Forte oil flush on order, on MDTM's advice.


Hoping his theories are correct, and its not something more sinister  :-/
