Mk2 120 saloon spares or repairs

[Dav]

Ive got to the point now where I can't afford to spend any more money on my Zed. It's killing me having to write this up, but needs must.

So, it's a 120 saloon in Ignition Blue. Spares or repairs as I've replaced the head gasket but it still doesn't run right and I can't afford to do any more to it. It won't rev above about 4500rpm and even then it doesn't want to get there.

It is in fair condition, the interior is in good condition apart from the steering wheel, but I have another one to replace it. The front tyres need replacing as one is low and the other has a split in the sidewall so it's on the space saver. The wheels (Hairpins) are in good nick otherwise tho.

It has tax until April and the MOT runs out in I think June.

I'm being as honest as I can, as up until this point, it's been brilliant to me, but that time has come.

I'm after £600 no offers. It's got to be worth that, even in bits, but I don't really have the space or time to break it.

I'm located in Southampton.

Any questions or details, PM me or call/text Dave (me) on 07920039234

I'll add some pics up when I get to my computer.

Sad but have you done absolutly everything?

If it is having problems building up the revs there is proberbly something simple like a split airline or blocked filter.

If it was rebuilt using the haynes manual then the cam pulleys could be 180 deg out. That stops them reving but it does sort of run. Didnt damage the valves though.

Pictures would be good... also, you ok for a viewing? Assuming your still selling...

Alternatively, drop it round and i'll see if I can get it sorted for you??

Yea, I've double check all the pipes and connectors, but no go

Anyhoo, pics...

Yea, it was Haynes manual built. So is it worth timing the cams so the inlet marks face the rear instead of the front?

Viewing is good, is the weekend ok? I work during the day is all.

inlet should point to the front and exhaust to the rear.

That's how I've done it, that's what Haynes says anyway. On the crankshaft pulley, should it be lined up with the TDC mark? That's what I've done.
