Hi Guys,
Thanks for the replies. I did try reducing the tension of the spring, but it seemed not to improve the situation enough. I got to the point where I couldn't start the engine, as the flywheel would turn without turning the engine!
Hmm something seems wrong here. Now I've an additional problem - the engine is siezed at the top position. It's happened before, where I had to turn the flywheel by hand until I freed up the piston, but this time it is really stuck hard. I've even taken the engine out and tried to turn the flywheel, but it ain't budging :-((( Back to my dealer again....I've been trying for the last three weeks just to get the car moving. Last week one of the motors in the starter box burn't out and now this week the engine siezes :-(((
Is there a procedure that should be followed, once I've stopped the engine? i.e. should I move the piston immediately away from the top position to ensure this doesn't happen?
Cheers, Mark.
