After 5 pages the Rallye has moved from under the car port.
First problem was the daft screw on battery terminal...bolted a quick release posi cable to it.
Second problem was putting the window down...poking around the door card forgetting they're manual.
But more importantly, it started on the first turn and drove straight out to turn round for beam replacement. Kept it idling until the fans cut in and it didn't leak at all, water level is the same now as before I ran it... There is a heavy knock though, is that a tappet (seems a bit heavy) or a crank pulley or something else? It had been running for over 15 mins when I took the vid... Note the dryness, and the knock...

Anyway, half way there with beam swap, rust has slowed progress there but hopefully will get that soon.
