Running much better now thanks mate



Managed to strip down and fit my new replacement parts within a couple of hours today, just in time before i left for work
Mad rush to get it sorted in time but got there in the end

Engine bay before....


Stripped down....


Number 1 port... going to look for another KR head so i can port and polish it


After


Also sorted out a few other bits you cant see.

Started first time, runs and ticks over sweet now. Brake pedal seems like its gone spongey so guessing theres a small vacuum leak which i'll check for.
Going to re-time it so its spot on aswell

Happy days

Next job will be the fuel pump set up

looks much better now its alot cleaner lee! keep it up

Set my ignition timing up properly last saturday. She now runs sweeeeeeeeeeet!!
Going to buy poly front and rear engine mount bushes now before i realign the exhaust.

Also fitted the G60 steelies as the weathers now to bad to bother cleaniing splitties every weekend. Look poo due to the tractor tyres fitted on them but i'll soon use them up now lol.

Will get some pic's soon

good to see my suggestions of how to make it run properly are finally being seen to

what was that? dont recall you mentioning anything to me. musta been someone else tom

sorting the throttle body so it turned the ISV on instead of idling through a slightly open butterfly and sorting the timing out which i offered to do numerous times.

oh and dont get polybush rear engine mounts, if you read about you will see they are bloody sh1te and break easily. Standard diesel ones are the best.

I set the timing before to compensate for the throttle switch not working and sending signal for the ISV to work bud. Was a dodgy plug on the throttle body that caused my trouble but thanks to the bits i got off liam, its all good now.
Did'nt go to adam suttons in the end as i knew i could sort it myself in the end.

Pic with G60's fitted. Will be getting lower profile tyres fitted when these are worn.

looks good but i think the usual caps look better, they look good just dont suit it as much Maybe its cause they are a different colour?

i not cleaned them yet so will probs looks better when washed. i have a plan for the caps anyway

wow nice wheels wonder where those came from

Put my caddy to winter spec now the weathers poop
Sold the chrome bumper and replaced with standard plastic jobbie. Still have another chrome bumper for when its painted anyway.

Replaced the splitties for the G60's as there easier to clean. Will be painting the splitties while there off and will probs end up on the van i collecting at the weekend

Also satin beiged a spare tailgate for when the caddy is used daily.

looks good dude

nice to see you got yourself another van too
