My Bay won't start! Please read!

Didnt help him enough to get it started but did sort out his firing order.....

 

i have a feeling we have a new zed in the making

 

What did Zed do?

 

Good to see you getting hands on, but for your info, the heating air ALL comes from the engine bay, it's supposed to, that's why you have a seal which will certainly keep the exhaust fumes out a bit. There should be zero smoke, oily smells, petrol fumes etc in the engine bay precisely for this reason - it ends up the cab via the heating.

I think he means what does Zed do generally, not on this thread. I stick my nose in and prophesise doom fast approaching. I'm quite often right.

 

Are we nearly there yet?

 

PS If anyone is wondering why I've been trying to get things done cheap when I had the money to buy a Late Bay to begin with its for exactly that reason - I bought my Bay. That emptied my account and then some haahaha

 

I really hope so .....

 

Well I guess that new foam seal has helped the problem Honestly though there is now zero smells or fumes or anything. I reattached a big pipe which I read had something to do with things too... Even if it didn't help the smells and fumes it still needed reattaching

 

I spilt some oil on the engine... Mayte that's what the smell was?

 

There should be no pipe unattached anywhere in the engine room....

 

no i didnt and i dont box in skips you could bring alot of posts down thou if you got up in the morning n answered earlier bruv

 

What oil did you use?
Just wait for it! You will see...

 

And what we want is to see you doing exactly what you've been doing today - saving yourself £'s of wasted garage money and finding out just how simple it all is to do yourself with a bit of help on here. The garage man would have fitted the distributor (and charged you) found the loose plug and fixed it without mentioning it and you'd have thought him a genius and also be convinced that he'd cured the popping by replacing the distributor (which if you look back we all said was almost certainly *****). You'd have been more confused about mechanics than ever. Now you know different, he's not a genius after all. If another man can do it, so can you. Seems like you've already got more idea than the mechanics you've been visiting - that didn't take long!

 

Only a 1000?

 

Oh and Darren what size tyres are you using and what rating do they have?

 

I honestly couldn't tell you right now, I'm away visiting family. What should they be and I'll check?

 

49 pages for a loose plug! Hell fire!
