T'is on 123 which is retarded. The engine has done 193,000miles and has never been taken apart, so could it be coke build-up?

Do you mean you run the car on coke as well. :lol: Happy Birthday by the way.

its unlikley to be coke
a pinking engine will , as Ken said, most likley be timed wrong (or on super crappy petrol-unlikley)

123s can still be set wrong, how far is it "retarded", whats it doing at full advance? if you dont know then its just been guesstemated. 32° is a nice safe maximum advance

(DA typing speed and brain speed out of kilter again points are in the bin on this car ;) )

Seeing what cola does to old pennies and tuppences, I'm sure it'll clean engine internals of all manky oil and other shite :lol:

Thanks :D Just returned from Exeter, for a birthday cruise-out :lol:
