Need help with car problems (North of London, Bucks)

[Bengley]

So I tried to do the stage 1 tune with the lucas pump, but one thing lead to another and now basically I can't fix it without help from someone with more experience.

The car is undriveable as I have lost the plastic max fuel bolt cover inside the engine somewhere.

I also need to do a cam belt change (I have bought the belt and pump) but I don't think I have the knowledge to do it myself.

Is there anyone nearby who can give me a hand with this please? (of course I will pay you for your time)

I need the car before saturday and I feel like a right idiot now

The pump doesn't need replacing though :/

yeah but the cap does . . . . . .who's gonna split a cap from a pump? . . . :p

[Kimmie]

There's a guy in Southall who will change the cambelt and give a warranty too- Scott used him, and if you send him a PM will be able to provide his details

[Scott]

Where in Bucks are you?

In all honesty if you're doing a cambelt change and you're having problems with the lucas, it may even be worth just doing a conversion to the bosch pump at the same time?

[vlj]

You can get replacement caps, not necessarily the metal style one. Fozzy has a plastic screw cap that makes it much easier to undo rather than keep hammering away at it. PM him as I don't know where he got it from.

[Pompey306mark]

Told you it was a bitch to do. Contact krisB as I said get him to get his mate to collect the car and let him do the pump conversion, cam belt and suspension.

I know you have the means to get this done mate.

Where in Bucks are you?

He's near high Wycombe iirc. The only person nearby I know of is jonnyb but I wouldn't have thought he would know too much about dervs

[Bengley]

Yeah, I'm in a town called Chesham. Will try and contact KrisB but I do need to do this before Saturday so I hope it's possible!

[Scott]

That's not terribly far from me, and I know the area fairly well. I don't have that much experience with the diesels but I'm happy to come over and lend a hand/try to figure it out if you're desperate.

[Bengley]

That would be great! When are you available?

[Pompey306mark]

I am kris kris can fit you in. I have texted him to let him know about the situation.

[Dum-Dum]

Maybe PM stevieg on here and see if he can help, hes pretty awesome on the XUDs and is bassed in north london.

Id offer to help as im close but I know f*ck all about lucas's


Actually gimmie 10 mins and ill have a look on service box and see if i can find a part number and price for it.

I am kris kris can fit you in. I have texted him to let him know about the situation.

You're Kris? I thought you were mark :-P

[Dum-Dum]

Looked at service box and i cant even find the pump listed but can find alot of things that bolt to the pump and the cover aint one of them.

[Pompey306mark]

I am kris kris can fit you in. I have texted him to let him know about the situation.

You're Kris? I thought you were mark :-P

Lol should be I am sure kris, the troubles of texting from the hot tub lol.

Kris replied and said he is in the shops and will be online after mate.

[KrisB]

I may have a metal cap going spare, but I also think it may be incorrect. I'd just grab another from a scrappy at least to get the car running. Or if you've cracked yours then maybe try melting it back together.

I can also do you cambelt and waterpump, £100 labour and can do it asap but you'll need to get the car over to me, and can do before saturday.

I'd say I could get someone to collect the car but his truck is currently un-taxed.

If you need me, PM me or email thru my website.

[Bengley]

Argh! I may not be able to get the car to Kris before Saturday. I'll PM stevieg - at the very least I need the car running by Saturday - the timing belt can wait!

[Jonny81191]

may be able to get one to you if you're desperate as I have a lucas kicking round

[Pompey306mark]

Bosch. Save you time and money in the future.

Your taking the belt off anyway.

There's this but delivery is 4-6 days. I could, of course drive to Romford to get it, if my car was working!

[Pompey306mark]

No wrong one.

Need something like that.

And no need to pay £100+. Full setups can be had for sub £60.

[Bengley]

It's frustrating - I can't even get to the scrapyard without the car, it's in the middle of nowhere. I'm lost for ideas.

[Pompey306mark]

See if you can find someone to transport it to kris. It's 54miles so not very far.

[Bengley]

Where's the diesel coming from? The new cap?

[Bengley]

Yeah, I chipped the area where the cap screws into with a chisel, it's leaking from where the chip is.

[Ricky]

You sure it's tight enough? When I had a Lucas my cap was chipped to hell and it still sealed
