So as some of you'll know the cambelt snapped.
http://www.themgzs.co.uk/vb/showthread.php?t=21440

I've picked up a used one with 75K on it from a retired Rover mechanic. Had a few days off so I helped getting it swapped.
Monday was getting it out day.
Tuesday was swapping stuff over and all new belts, Clutch and gave the gearbox arm thing a good clean.
We finished the day with it back in the car and shafts back in.
Today(Wed) is build it back up an fire it up.

Haynes says remove fuel pump fuse and crank it till oil light goes out.
F3 and or F10 fuse.
Is this correct?

I'm back on the road, Woohoo.

A few issues, I've got an engine light on an the engine is a little noisier throught the rev range than the old one but runs fine, and It also doesn't seem to rev like it used to.
It has a new manifold gasket too.

Good news is no leaks, the heater is good too.

I'm in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire. ( can't seem to edit my location)

No idea on the code.
Any decent code readers on Ebay?
