Going to change my distributor cap and rotor arm tommorrow

Any tips??

looks a bit tight for room

Cheers

 

Do what i do and takeit to a m8's garage an let him do it.

 

Thanks mate

 

Just number the leads before you take them off.

 

Get a little helper to keep the cups of tea coming

 

Take the Cambelt cover off first. It will give you a little more room to squeeze your hands in there

 

Cheers guys

i never thought i would get so much help

will let you all know how i get on

 

Thanks mate will do

 

Ohh and get a money-savers swear tin cos it will come in handy ,lol

each swear word costs a pound

time its done u will have a tank full of optimax worth in the tin






Kiddin ,once belts cover is off u will be okies ,wee bit fidly but thats the easy job on a cossie

 

Had me worried there for a bit lol

Ahh easy job on a cossie Thats what i wanted to here

Thanks Mate

 

How do you tell what terminal is what?? I cant see any cylindernumber on any of them?

Done mine today Mate

All you have to do is put the new cap next to the old one and change the leads over 1 by 1 ....bobs your uncle

Was really easy didnt need to take the cam belt cover off either just took the boost pipe off so i could get my my big fat hand round the cap to pop it off

That just leaves me the fuel filter to change now

Enjoy

 

I changed my leads, cap and rotor arm a couple of weeks ago and it was easier than I thought and I didn't have to remove anything. I've got to change my fuel filter too but I have no idea how to do it so I'd be interested to hear how you get on.

 

No worries Paul will do fella

Must admit this does look a piece of piss

Couple of bolts then prime the pump a few times and hopefully it should start

 

Cheers It's under the boot isn't it?

 

yes mate, if you slide yourself under the back of the car by the tow eye you can't miss it. The fuel pump and fuel filter are mounted side by side.
From memory the fuel filter is closer to the front of the car (I hope this makes sense)

 

I'll take a look when I can get the back of it up on ramps or something

Thanks.

 

What do you do if the leads are allready off though?? I took my leads off ages ago, as im cleaning up the engine bay etc over winter.

What possition/order do they go on in?
