Hairy toes eagle Posted March 8, 2018 Author Share Posted March 8, 2018 Got her back to the garage! Problem 1: sorted, problem 2: of telling the wife about my purchase, sorted (she's over the moon) Problem 3: next to no compression on number 4 cylinder, (2.0 pinto) can't really drive it. Machanic friend thinks it could be the valve, head off Saturday to find out. Not even sure if I'll have £20 left for Tom and his Golden heart at this rate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Taylor Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 She’s a lovely looking car , glad you got her moved and good luck with the teething troubles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SXRORY Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Once you get her up and running john at JPR tuning in Yate (not too far) is a wizard with carbs and very reasonable might be worth a look for the final set up Enjoy her! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrustyjust Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Problem 1 . Thats fab news, looks great even with wings 2/ No, wrong. She isnt happy. She will need to 'financially ' gain too. So, shoes, handbags, spa days ahoy !! 3/ Its unusual to loose compression on a Westie due to the amount of miles they do, unless the engine has been poorly before Check that all valves close . If it does need head off , Pinto bits are cheap as chips and at least you can get the valve seats all redone and check the cam and oil supply as well as they are a little notorious on Pintos to give issues. Keep at it, the journey has started Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Nelson Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Good evening Mr Eagle, May I ask if you purchased this vehicle from "Cheltenham Sports Cars" via Ebay and whether the faults with the car were disclosed to you at time of purchase ? All the best, Nel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy toes eagle Posted April 29, 2018 Author Share Posted April 29, 2018 I did purchase the car from "Cheltenham sports cars" It was obviously apparent the car wasn't running right so a discount was offered that I accepted. I don't feel ripped off but it wasn't the best dessision I've ever made, financially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh you have no idea! Wait till Upgradeitis really starts to bite. However, the upside is that the fun also starts. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
