non crossflow engine so carbs were directly above the manifold, i believe on trying to crank the car and it not starting due to a flattery (flat battery), the electonic fuel pump kept pumping fuel into the carbs but without turning over the fuel wasnt being used up, carb floats overfilled causing fuel to leak out and absorb into the heatwrap on the manifold, 5 minutes of driving later the car went up in flames.

all theoretical as i drove for about an hour 3 days before with no issues. but alas things happen for a reason!

Cheers dude, I'm going to forward them onto my Uncle, hes well into his old merc. He's got a 1960s merc he's restoring, I'm wondering if its that same style.

Do the clocks go up in a vertical line for your speedo as opposed to going round clockwise?

He's in the middle of restoring it at the moment and the wings cost something like 1500 quid each so hes just repairing them rather than buying new ones, the blood red interior is lush tho

mk3 fiesta (it had sri cavvy side sikrts, red neons, bbs alloys, interor was sprayd red, and it was the best first car I ever had ohh and it had a piss pot 1.1)

mk3 polo (just a str8t pipe and back fired alot)

corsa (only a cone was fitted and is sounded nuts on the mpi 1.4)

pug 205 (1.8 diesel it behaved like a tractor and I drove it through a field as if it was a tractor)

mk3 polo (cone and bore exaust sounded lovely)

mk3 GT polo (did over 120 mph one night and blue the engine the next day)

pug 106 (kept it standard and I drove it through a river buy accident but it still lived)

vauxhall chavalier (its what I got just 2 to 4 weeks ago needs a head gasket tho)
