Default £100 to whoever can help me get my car running..

right well i admit im stuck now..ive done as much as i can to my car but now im in unknown waters

only things that need doing to my car is:

put the injectors and inlet on
hooking up the metering head - i cant figure out where the fuck it sits
connecting all the hosing up
connecting up the loom in the engine bay

£50 for a few hours work to someone who knows what they are doing..its not alot of things to do but its taking me forever as this rebuild has been like putting a jigsaw puzzle together without looking at the picture

if it takes longer than expected then ill sort you out a lil bit extra

im in west london, greenford

pm me if your interested

im free today and tomorrow

I'll fix it but you'd have to trailer it up to Preston!!

And I'd probably charge you more than a ton!

On a serious note, there are a few specialist companies around near you that would be able to sort it pretty easily.

http://www.sccperformance.com/ for example

y not just drop it off to a specialists and get it sorted properly, youd be surprised at how little it may cost to have it done right.
