remove the radio and check the power supplies at the back.since the introduction of the grundig 300c on cavalier. all vauxhall radios will run on ignition supply onlt BUT will only display SAFE. if you have both feeds, remove the radio and reconnect it again. these are microprocessor coded and if the car was boost started or battery charged on the car it is probable that you have spiked the microprocessor and now its as confused as a baby racoon. best case: unplug it and plug back in. worst case: pay to hve it recoded £25.

actually it was recovering a (one of many) stuck landrover. no the crankshaft is different on later models mae so the pulley doesnt fit.

sorry you are quite right, pre 90 cars didnt have 2 piece pulleys. the one below is poorly and I remember trying to take the pulley off to remove the lump to do the clutch.

If youre doing it you need to replace the balance shaft belt and tensioner too which is why the price will be so high. I f you do the timing belt but leave the balance shaft belt, and the balance shaft belt goes it will invariably cause the timing belt to jump teeth. at best 3 snapped rockers, at worst a FULL engine. I have had one where the lifters didnt snap(which they should) it bent the valves but it also lifted the cam shaft ripping the bolts out of the head and shocked the shells on the big end so a new lump required as it just wasnt cost effective.. the 4D56 lumps are getting hard to find so spend the cash and look after the one you have. 
p.s. while youre in there check the crankshaft pulley for delamination

well I got free legal advice for dangerous driving even though it was reduced to careless. check it out online mate. careless or undue care do not but dangerous driving qualifies for free legal advice and representation.

Dave, I was always lead to believe that an officers version of events would be the true one but mine simply wasnt. Remember just because he is a police officer he is not always right. if you believe you have done nothing wrong you need legal advice and dangerous driving is an offence for which you get free legal advice. so do it quickly.
James, I only wanted him to PM me as I cant remember the cops surname only his first which I wont post on here.

just seen this thread, if you know the name of the police officer please pm me. I overtook a nissan micra and an articulated lorry, in a 60mph zone on single carriageway. didnt think anything of it. recieved a knock on the door 3 days later with 2 uniformed officers. asked me what happened and I honestly told them. turned out the micra driver was an off duty cop who reported me for dangerous driving, after I had given my version of accounts he gave a statement. HE WAS THE COP TAKING MY STATEMENT!
anyway his version was physically impossible but I still had to go to court 4 times, 3 of which he didnt turn up to, neither did his star witness, his wife who had been sat in the passenger seat!
The 4th time at court we proceeded with the hearing even though he hadnt turned up. A police officer is never off duty it seems, so no defence there, the magistrates decided that I must have done something to cause him to report me, I HONESTLY HADNT, they reduced the charge to driving without due care and attention gave me 5 points and a £400 fine!!
the cop had done very similar things before. just wondered if it was coincidental enough to be the same guy who transferred out of northumbria police VERY soon after the event.
