Re: New comer - Progress (edit)
Found a weird green/black wire running from either side of the engine bay. Turns out to be jumper for the Central Locking due to a broken wire in the left door.

Re: Another timing belt question
I have a burroughs gauge (west oxfordshire) you can borrow any time. I hope to go to Castle coombe without the lotus of course. It's a bit further for you but is a nice day out.

Re: New comer - Progress (edit)
Removed the lower UJ off the steering column as I thought there was some lash. It was absolutely shot! Have a post 86 replacement of a beefier design so may have had an earlier version (incorrect one) installed. Design fits SJ's prior and post images https://onedrive.live.com/embed?resid=D6A05D2C269...

Re: New comer - Progress (edit)
Found malt vinegar to be a very good cleaner of rusty parts, plus cheap at 30p a pint. Air Con condenser brackets came up lovely, but it doesn't straighten studs! https://onedrive.live.com/embed?resid=D6A05D2C269DC8A9%212686&authkey=%21AKk49bWkDpBvQGw&width=800&height=1500 The Thermostat housing was...
