Cheers for all the responses guys!  :smiley:  Just had a busy 2 days... Changed tappets, swapped camnshaft for a GTi one, renewed gaskets and seals for the rocker cover (of course), fixed the carb waxstat (idleing speed now normal!), advanced timing, tuned carb a bit and fixed gear lever (was an absolute b$%"ard of a job, original housing was cracked meaning my gear lever moved up and down! Had to attack the old housing with hammer and chisel from under the car to get it out!)
Will have to have a closer look at the flange and maybe the 'O'ring at a later date, perhaps when my fingers stop hurting!
Oh, car runs alot smoother (and quieter :wink: ) in all gears and seems  to have more pull, could be my imagination tho....
