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)

Phoned the local ramblers club today, but the bloke who answered just
went on and on.

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!
