    Some parts can be a pain to find but the owners club is very good, got most parts for the resto through them.

    I no idea what the wheels came off on the P100, don't believe they are banded but not really looked at them much yet. will start .ing around with the brakes soon so will take a better look then.

    I put on Facebook last week if anybody local who works on old cars would like to come around and get my XR running , to cut along story short I mixed up the firing order and the inlet manifold was sucking in air for the gasket

    today in attic conditions a local petrol head replaced the inlet gasket set the tappets set up the timing top bloke .

     

    P100 slowly getting rebuilt and the mk5 racing shell pushed into my barn .

    Last year some of you my remember I replaced the exhaust gasket and broke a stud off in the head resulting in me taking taking it off and drilling it out .

    Got all back together and couldn't get it started timing again

     

    In the end a friend of mine came to visit he was an ex mechanic and we got it going with just a tweak of the diss and was running ok part from the tappets were noisy .

     

    So that's was last year ,

     

    Thought I better get the tappets done because I want to bring it out this year in which I have done .But I must admit I have moved the distributor about and now it doesn't start .

     

    Now I lost my enthusiasm and patience to sort it PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP ? . Graham

    Thanks for the reply guys . In the end I brought a set of Nationals from Direct car parts in Uxbridge the guy there said they are a good quality make .

    This morning I fitted them myself and took less than hour and very straight forward to fit.

    Well I say I fitted them but I only done the o/s which was the one that was warped . Question ; do I need to do both side ? and I notice the the new disc are slightly smaller than the old ones 10mm or so. We this effect anything later on as it drives and stops with no problem at the moment . The size differ I quest with the pay loads of the vehicle in which I will not be carry anything too heavy.
