epic timing once stripped

If any one can shed some light I would appreciate it. I've stripped the Lucas Epic to change all joints, after checking the main bearing for end float and play I've realised I have probably send it 180 deg out ( depending on luck). There is a static timing mark on the pulley shaft, but I haven't not...

Re: 2.1 failure to start when hot.

I agree, spill pipes takes hours not minutes to cause a problem. Also if it's these, prime the bulb and crank, it'll go. Changed my fuel filter last night after only 10k miles. It looked like an egg timer shape, so I then checked the strainer. Clean as. Also it's been fine today. Lets see tomorrow? ...

Re: 2.1 failure to start when hot.

I can't see the glow plug fudge making any difference if you've only left it a minute. When mine does it, if you turn the key quickly from on to off without waiting it tries to fire on the first revolution and then just turns over. Then eventually it will start as if nothing is wrong. My accident cu...

Re: 2.1 failure to start when hot.

I'll be intrigued to find the problem. My 2.1 does this, and at the moment it's getting worse. If the lucas had a normal stop solenoid I'd guess it was that sticking. It's always started eventually, albeit with jump leads the last few times. It runs fine once going. I'm now looking (blindly) down th...

Re: trouble with electrics, some odd behaviour from car

Hello I've got the same problem intermittently. I thought that the flashing interior lights said a door wasn't shut (even though it was) I've also got electric mirrors that sometimes home themselves on the ignition, or, sometimes not, or, sometimes go awol. Have you sorted your flashing lights probl...
