Hello all. As some of you may have read in previous posts ARJ has a new owner (ME ) and I thought I would share my amateur mechanical efforts. I've never tried working on a car before but I'm keen to give it a try.
The car is still running on the distributor borrowed from a very nice P5B so I removed it tonight along with the coil so I can fit the nice new electronic unit I purchased. I'm pretty sure the car still isn't happy with being sold as it took me an hour of swearing and blood sacrifice to remove the two bolts holding the coil in place. Surprised I managed to get them off without snapping them but I'll fit new bolts when I put it back together.
Just need to clean up the WD40 from the mounting point and then start putting it back together. Below are some pictures of the old and new units.
