I think thats it, the gasket slipped on the opposite side, I thought I relocated ok , but maybe not...didnt realise they´d be that sensitive! Easily so! The points box rotates to set the timing. I rotated with the hand crank with the heads back on thats all?? |

easy fix! the inlet gasket was askew!, it was getting dark when I did it. fixed the other side also with a spacer washer to push the spring a bit harder and now its a drip free zone and I´ve got a lovely yellow 2014 sticker on the windscreen  thanks for all the help guys, the car would have never got sorted so quick (and so cheaply) if it weren´t for this forum. very happy
