As said at leats the work wasn't in vain, as rewire pump/fan is needed anyway, and at least you know your car inside out now.
Worst thing I did was trying to get this engine to with no luck, was a old cortina mk3, heap wouldn't start after changing all ignition stuff, cleaning out carb and a few other jobs, couldn't find what was wrong getting pissed off by now, when me mates 11 year old sister said what does this bit do, as she picked up the rotor arm I had dropped and forgotten about, my mate eric helping just put the cap on("hiding the problem") so can blame him, he couldn't get a new one in time, so was going to refit the old one but got sidetracked!!
Glad yours is going ok though, no speeding!!
