What is the 2.9 supposed to sound like?
Discussion
Bit of a daft question but now that I have my S2 running, albeit roughly, she does sound very valve-train-ee. Almost like it's running dry up top. Initially I thought the alternator was stuffed but having stethoscoped it, it's fine.
Could it be a waterpump? Can I remove the rocker covers without messing about with inlet, injectors etc? They are weeping oil anyway so needs to come off at some point.
I'm normally an air cooled guy so these are new to me.

I have to say that between PH putting the brakes on being able to post more than 5 posts within the first 24 or 48 hours (whichever it was) to not being able to post photos or videos in your first 2 weeks of joining(!) I stand by my statement above that this site is indeed archaic!
I'm not on FB but I hear its where the fun is at. May have to rethink that then.

Ha fair enough! In fairness so far I've managed to get her running and troubleshoot a few other things so shouldn't grumble too much really.
Having a missed a few waterpumps this last week I managed to buy a new one from ebay for £19 delivered so that's my job this weekend. I'm also going to do a compression test and some more permanent repairs to get her running right I.e. no misfire. Will report back.

While you're waiting for the pump to arrive you can do a bit of research on removing it. Here's just one of the many threads on here about the problems you might encounter. CLICY.
I appreciate this is the older 2.8 but the principal is the same.
Get plenty of Plusgas on those threads as well
Cheers bud I'll give it a thorough read. I've been dousing them in plus gas for 4 days now so hopefully no issues.I appreciate this is the older 2.8 but the principal is the same.

Btw, given how PH reacts to sales of items, I need to buy a replacement Southco latch for the removable hard top. If I could get a decent price break I'd happily organise a group buy in case anyone else was in need or interested. How would I best do that on here?

Step one: don't do it here do it on FaceBook, unfortunately there just aren't enough people checking in on here these days Step two: Is it worth it? say you get 10% off, about the price of a Starbucks, all that repackaging, labelling, posting, chasing up payment etc. for a few quid!
I might seem a bit negative but I've been there, tried it. Enjoy that coffee, it'll be hard earnt
