No jv the 405 has not been touched for 11 years!

It has been dragging on partly due to redundancy and the holiday to Cuba but there has been problem after problem and maybe that is all my fault in not doing enough research, but when I look around and what others have done its Mk2's and Corrados or they have used the ABA or 9A block so have not encountered the problems I have!

At the present time I could transport the car to Badger5 for them to do the next part of the work which, subject to a few measurement checks will work with a diesel crank sensor......

OR

I can get an external crank sensor set up that will enable me to drive the car for a while and run it in before the DTA and ITB's go on it!

I am choosing the latter.

So will have to wait a few more weeks for a one-off trigger wheel and sensor set up to be made

Top one is the ABF crank from my old engine.


Bottom is a photo I found on the 'net of the trigger wheel on the diesel crank!

This why my new engine will not start!

If only I had noticed the trigger wheels were different!

And realised the significance of that!

Car would have been on the road by now!
