Good news... and bad news!

Good news - found an excellent rolling road near Milton Keynes run by John;

http://www.rollingroadtuning.co.uk/

and got my car rejetted - now running 156 bhp from a 16v 4age.

Bad news; we checked the compression and I had one cylinder running lower than the others. Guess what - on the way home I get a terrible misfire and I reckon I have a value gone!!!


Anyone know a good place to get my head fixed up??

The joys of owning a kit car...

Bad luck, can I ask how much they charge? (the rolling road, T and L are pretty good btw)

Checked the valve clearances today and all were in tolerance. Will do a compression test next before the head comes off (again!).

T&L have already got back to me and have been very helpful so will head there if I need to get any work done.

Anyone got a leak down tester I could borrow? Sounds like the best way to test where the problem really is!
