tonight i finally had the valver running after a month of valver ownership and the car moving exactly 4 miles including pushing it backwards and forwards in and out of the garage! :lol:
now just got to be patiend bedding it in seen as i now have a 0mile engine!

i must say i lerned a lot from the experience but am in no hurry to do it all again!

also a massive thanks to richy as he was the brains of the task for a lot of it as he knew what he was doing to start with and without his help it would have probably still been sat there not running!
