Try grab a haynes manual and then some tools and watch some videos on you tube, search net and youll find most answers and process of how to do. Take your time and try not to get frustrated. Youll be best off learning these inside out as itl be required!!

I had a fantastic guy round my house the other day who refurbished and refitted my carb , i stuck to him like glue and he gave me a small lesson on idle / mixture adjustment which was really great and helped a lot .

There is someone who lives not to far from me who has 3 R5 turbos at his house which I always admire when I pass , I might get the courage up and ring his door for a chat one of the days and see if he could possibly help .

Slowly starting out on my own, an expensive road getting all the kit. Especially when I have most of it and doubling up.. I’m Self employed anyway but want to do more for myself.

I’ll do anything that needs doing.
