There's the ignition amplifier just behind the battery, this feeds the dispack could be worth changing

well, an eventful day

i managed to get my dad to buy me a crank sensor...

i replaced the old one...

bit mucky! I tried turning it over and nothing

I then tried changing the dispack back to the old one just incase i'd changed it for a duffer... the engine started for about 2 seconds!

It soon died again which meant something wasn't totally connected...

The eathing points near the dispack looked a little dirty so i ******* them down and ground them back to bare metal using a grinding stone just to ensure a decent connection... turn of the key and...

Ill let the vid do the talking. The sound quality isn't brilliant as its far too loud from the engine bay and i was on my own but finally its started

I was running it for a little wire to ensure everything was working and i spot some fluid leaking out of the bottom of the car

I smelt it and it was petrol

it seems the flexi petrol hoses have perised and aren't making a good enough seal to the metal pipes!

Next weekend will consist of bleeding the brakes, replacing the flexi fuel line and wiring up the new mirrors but its a massive step in getting the car back on the road

Cheers

Bill
