Hahaa.
And watch the engine for a minute when you have got it started, make sure the belt isnt flappping or moving sideways (like it will fall off). rev the engine a bit make sure the belt is ok, then increase the revs while watcing the belt, eventually hit the redline momentarily. If he belt runs *nice* through this operation then it's all good. any flapping means stop testing immediately and adjust tension etc. Flapping means timing will jump, eventually.
But I know noootthhiiinnnngggg

Just found out the car I got as a replacement for the above shown 1.4 has only done 12k miles in the last nine years - awesome news. However, it appears to have been left under a dripping tap or in a permanent cloud of acid rain.... its that fresh Hull air.

Very pleased something had been done? he just served a customer not 40 minutes ago. Police are pretty much inept and useless.
