carloss, was looking for all the possible reasons first (other than a new starter)

hello and welcome monty. other than remap advice, is there anything else we can help with

hi all ,problem solved, i had put the alternater on upside down, when re fitting it,it would bolt on two ways and the pully would spin both ways so it was a fifty fifty choice when putting it back on, was only when i took the v belt off that i noticed that the alternater pully now would not turn clock wise, any how was a relief that all it was,car now starts (chuffed with myself as never been inside an engine before) though it is miss firing...

they will be on a roll, exactly as the generic pipes are. id leave them. do make sure you replace the rubber blanking bung on no5 injector

Ahh, missed the petrol bit on yours. I'll wind my neck back in.

Start with the easy items....Spark plugs The easiest way to check the coil is to swap them around Do you know what cylinder it's misfiring on?

Thanks for all your help I have to call tom afternoon (Fri) for an update and he said that the valve has been put in the car and they have put the head on and are building the engine back up so he said fingers crossed it works. I will let you's know how I get on tom. Jen

Could I please have the work instruction for changing the tensiioner, and any tips. A good browse of the forum seems to indicate this is a good starting point. Cheers Tony
