hi mark, i was looking at the 1.9 engine and i noticed at the back of it theres a little pipe coming out the end of the cyclinder head next to where the oil pressure switch is, whats it for and what have you done with yours?
there isnt one one the 1.6 lump.

i got the wires out the pump behind the brass plate and put the pump back on the engine, once i get the lump in ill put the cam belt on and time it all up, hopefully.
hehehe
And ive taken the shims out of the power steering pump.


cheers for all your help Mark.

regards

John.

I put a bolt in the pipe as a bung and used jubilee clip to secure it.
