It works, it works, it works!!!
I want to send a thank you to all locostbuilders who helped as the beast has finally started and with no strange noises.
No vid atm as it is too loud for my ears (they are still ringing  )
I will endeavor to get the exhaust done asap so i can post a vid.

They weren't in. I think they are planning a party at the weekend but havnt invited us so i think even if the exhaust isnt done, it may be
started
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

in that case you need a stinger (i.e. an exhaust trumpet)

Is it connected to the gearbox? drive it up and down the drive until they get fed up with it.
Also, when the party is on, go knock on the door in your finest oiliest overalls and greasy hands, and shake everyones hand as you walk through...
then ask for some sugar
Kindest Regards,
Richard.

Erm, some plonker (me ) put the leads in the right order but the wrong way round the distributor cap (anti clockwise instead of clockwise)
Oh, amd the tank no longer leaks
