Garden centre... missus loves our garden, sent me packing as she was elsewhere and needed some bits. was good timeing actually because the old girl (28 this year!) was drivable again.
So far I am proud that pretty much everything you have seen so far except the welding was done by me on my drive, shed or garden! I really wanted to do the clearances myself and then take it to a pro just to get it properly setup. I'll have to look into how much it would cost me to get someone else to do it as you points are good..
In other news, strobed it, CO2 tested it so the fuel and ignition are pretty much bang on. It's got some high end pull back now which is great but I am a little confused on one thing:
The car will tick over and purr nicely, warms up to optimum temp and fan will kick in when it creeps over. If revved, it settles back to idle fine, however, after giving it a blast down the road for 15 mins the idle go's no lower than 2500!
once cooled down it's fine again.
My first though was over fuelling... anybody else got any suggestions?
