    I'd just like to say a massive thank you to Steve @Zed for coming around to help me sort out my Double cab Marmalade twas the valves too tight Steve showed me how to set them.
    There's still plenty to do (no reverse lamps) but I'm so made up she runs and the gearbox is OK.

    He’s a good lad. Did he have his little rain cloud hovering overhead when he came round?

    Anyone know where the reversing lamp switch will be?
    She's a 79 Automatic I didn't see anything on the gearbox will it be on the gear selector?

    Ye olde "what have you done since it ran?" wins again. :)
    Just as well as I know nothing about FI!
    Really chuffed for Ian that the gearbox is good too, a good day all round and a nice break from insulating the flippin narrowboat.
