Technically no, it's a GTA with a cat - but almost all of them are LeMans (according to Stevo's little chronology).

Lemans engines run different camshafts, pistons and ancillaries.

It won't challenge Mr ' I am the Law ' for concours but that's not the BTS ethos
Stephen ,your application is being processed .............so far you have three black balls

Managed to get the lump in topways on my own so stand down lads , I wont be needing you Hopefully finish off tomorrow and fire it up .Only issue is I managed to snap a spade on starter solenoid ,after it was fitted obviously I had an old starter so swapped the solenoid over .Not sure if it's a good one though .I could still do with knowing which pin on the multiplug is the oil warning light, anyone ???

Sorry mate Bloody babies!!

looks like you have done a good job on your lonesome, fingers crossed for tomorrow then!!

It's not wanting to fire I have put the battery on charge as I managed to run it down trying with a loose alternator live .This will make the fuel pump not prime
Either that or another one of my secondhand TDC sensors is faulty ..............................

Still no joy .The starter is really lazy even with the freshly charged battery .I have whipped it of ,bench tested it and one from another engine .They both perform the same on the bench .I can turn the lump by hand with a short ratchet so that's all good I hope .
Now fitted a new battery and will fit the other starter with an additional earth cable to the block ...........Other than that I can't see what else could be up ??The starter engages and will move the car in gear but it is really slow . Any ideas ???
