hi everyone not been on here for a while due to health issues and growing older ive just read the post on facebook and is there an option for those who wish to arrive on saturday and camp over saturday night then leave sunday afternoon thanks
don't worry about being shy stephen we were all newbies too at some time as for the autojumble vboa were not responsable for its reduced size it was billing that insisted the all the stall holders had to be vat regestered and licenced which killed off all the little traders who used to sell off their parts at pocket money prices i truely hope this problem is resolved by next year as part of the fun of billing was scratching around piles of parts hopping to find bits and pieces which would not cost the earth there was talk of having the vboa meet at another location but than has not been confirmed yet
by the sound of it john it seems the managment at billing are hell bent to putting an end to all car shows being held there i think its just a question of do we jump ship before we are pushed lets hope their plans back fire and bite them in the arse surely there are some kind of show ground in the same area who would welcome events like vboa with open arms
its in ipswich mate no idea if its for sale its been standing for about 4 years that i know of this is its good side the other sides covered if green moss
it should have an engine number stamped on a ledge above the no4 spark plug if its a 130 engine the engine no starts with 20seh if it reads 20ne it one of the 115bhp engines all 2 litre blocks should be the same
not suprised its over fueling lol easy fix is to by pass the electric pump at the rear and fit a manual pump on the cam carrier just remove the 2 bolts and the blanking plate and fit manual punp in its place the carb your using is a pierburg 2e as used on mk3 cavs air filter kit on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RAMAIR-Carb-Air-Filters-With-Baseplate-Pierburg-2E2-2E3-2E-E-40mm-Bolt-On-/350692519541?hash=item51a6e72e75 check for correct fitment as they come in different sizes
bet your chuffed as nuts sometime less is more the main thing is the cav is running so you can drive her about and get her back on the road don't junk the injection gear you may need it in the future i see your running the carb without the fuel pump on the cam carrier are you running the electric pump on a loop system
have you tried fitting a new fuel pump relay i have a feeling that the red wire in the 4 wire conector is the power supply for the injectors try putting a bridging wire from the black wire to the red wire and see if it runs
don't lose heart mate we will get it sorted just look how far you have come i drove my ascona about with the injectors wired up in a similar fasion until i could fix the problem properly i'll send you a wiring diagram of the same system i used on mine if push comes to shove i'll tell you how to convert it to run on a carburettor far lesshassle than buying another cav
hi michel welcome to the site you will be very welcome on here we to have asconas over here but not very many mine is a 1982 1.8 sr/e one of only 2 sr/e left in the uk i also have another ascona which is a 1,6 berlina automatic in gold
well the good news is i am back on my feet but i can only cover small distances with the aid of crutches but will still unable to drive the 100 miles to billing so wish everyone who is going that you all have a great time and try not to get too badly hung over i will be on site so please post up some photos so i can see what i'm missing out on thanks ken
