Excellent work.....job well done.

I have it all sorted now.

I have spent all of yesterday until 1am working on this car and uncovered a multitude of sins.
Replaced the cambelt and waterpump with help from the DVD – easy job really!
There was a chuck missing from the belt so I got to it just in time. It was also poorly fitted – cams 1&2 where a tooth out more or less.
There were no bolts fitted to the cambelt backing plate so this was rubbing on the tensioners. The waterpump pully had only 1 bolt holding it on.
I replaced the camcover seals, someone had sealed them up with a cement type sealant so it took me two hours to carefully clean up the covers and apply the new gaskets, o-rings and correct black sealant.
Replaced plugs and HT leads and flushed the cooling system.

Much more responsive and smoother and the problem has gone.
