Car Trouble - Can anyboddy help

Big problems with out F reg Nova 1.3 SR which I use for PCT's and Autotests and is the wife's shopping car.

 

It won't start when hot and has been left a while.

 

I have changed the leads which looked a bit dodgy and removed and cleaned out the carb. Once it's going it goes well - full bore and tick-over.

 

Any idea's?

Donington Park

Hi all

Following on from Simon's outing in his Class 8 buggy. I, and a couple of friends, will be off to the Donington Park Historic GP on the 19th & 20th May. At ｣20 for a prebooked weekend ticket and the chance to see the factory Auto Unions proving irrestiable.

More info on www.vscc.co.uk events and Donington Park Weekend.

The Escort managed to sustain some damage during the enforced off season while away getting the MOT and brakes rebuilt. Somebody decided it would be a good idea to run over the car while parked out on the road. The bonnet and boot lid just received foot prints but the roof had been jumped on. Fortunately David Heale has removed the dents in the roof but a couple of very small creases remain. As it happened over the Easter weekend on Saturday night and the police would not come to look at it until Tuesday three days later, reason being that it was a bank holiday... Never mind I got a nice little book about being a "victim" of crime.

Anyway Donington looks good and the weather looks like it might be reasonable. Good job as we shall be under canvas!
