Re: Woe, woe and thrice woe!

Ah yes, a smear of Denso on the windscreen..............is for life. Wonderful stuff. Coincidence , the original Japanese cambelts are............ DENSO. I'll go further than that! A smear of Denso tape on your fingers is for life too! Its a bugger to remove. I found a naked flame worked best!

Re: Woe, woe and thrice woe!

Watering can, a bit of Fluorine dye and a UV light source should be enough to see whether it is the windscreen or sunroof / drain leaking. Water in the head-lining is a worry. Hope you get it sorted Bob. Plus Denso tape :D Bugger, why didn't I think of that :idea: :roll: For that matter, why didn't...

Woe, woe and thrice woe!

Got a serious leak I'm afraid. Its either the windscreen or the sunroof, but the sunroof drains freely so I'm going for the screen mastic seal. When I got in it after about 4 weeks of Dec/Jan, there were beads of water full height on the inside of the screen on the drivers side and to my amazement, ...

windscreens

I was watching car SOS today and they were doing an AC Aceca 1953 I think. It had a dodgy rear window so they had one custom made at a company called Plastic4Performance in Bolton.

I would be a very expensive option if you got one made that way, however.... Screens are getting hard to find...

Re: Car has shut down.

CPS problems wont cut a running engine. Dizzy, or immobiliser if an earlier car.

Re: no start but crank / no fuel pump. ECM failure or not?

I've known your pain. Guarantee you its the CPS connector, sensor itself or wiring. In my case the wiring was cut by the crank pulley.

Before I found that out, I went through the same process as you!
