| The One comment I will make is that the pair of shoes are connected by Two springs. I believe One is stronger than the other from memory. On One side, One of the springs should be behind the shoes, an ... |

| Thanks to everybody, and especially to Boxa, for the constant encouragement. I do hope that the New throttle body might improve the MPG. Although the timing belt has only done 18k, in view of the fact ... |

The scan tool I'm using seems pretty handy. I believe it also does live data. Not that I would know how to understand any of that  |

| I don't plan on trying to shoehorn a v12 in the Freelander yet. Hopefully though, I can get this One running well again. Be interesting tomorrow once I get the aux belt on. |

Thanks Boxa. I will keep you posted. To be honest, I have enjoyed it. Been a long time since I used to do a bit of mucking about with cars.
The last One I mucked about with was a Mk5 cortina. It was ... |

To be honest it sounds fine. Perhaps a bit quieter. Perhaps thats the new throttle body. The old one was very gunked up.
I will stick the aux belt on tomorrow, and take it for a gentle drive.
Thank ... |

Cheers. I have found a rebuilt cylinder head, all built up with valves, rockers etc, for £500. I know I would have to get a gasket, but overall, thats not too bad.
Rain now lighter, so going to get ... |

| So I thought I would set the timing up today, as we know it is out. I rotated the crank, and finally got the pin in that. Undid the timing belt tensioner and slipped the belt off. Now the problem.... ... |
