Looking for a Mechanic to talk a look at my 90 998cc tomorrow.
Anyone that would possibly be available, I think the timing is gone off on it, car seems to be back firing and theres feck all power in her.
Any help or contacts would be really helpful!
Thanks lads!

i'll give it a good luck over tomorrow, it sounds like its miss firing or possibly not firing in 1 cylinder.
First chance to give her a good look at in a good while.....

Let me know how you get on! My mayfair is doing the same. Plus I've just found out all the petrol leaked out the base of it

Didn't get a chance to get to a garage with her.
I cleaned the points in the distributor and rotary arm, this did nothing.
I then checked all the spark plugs, nothing again.
When I was fiddling with the distributor cap I noticed that if you put pressure down on the
distributor the timing got much better and the car ran smooth, when you take the pressure
off it goes back to running slightly off time.
Do I need to replace my distributor or could i be looking at problems inside the engine?
