Question: can you tell me how to time a renault safrane 2.2 ie where timing marks are
Answer: I didn't think you could adjust the ignition on one of those, so I'm assuming you mean the cam timing? If you send an SAE, I'll print off the details for you.

Question: Hi, can you get a Weber carb conversion for a Ford Fiesta 1983 1100? If so which one is it? and where can I get it? Thanks Colin
Answer: They used to make one, but Weber have been lousy recently and most aren't available any more. Call me at the office, 01752 345880 and I'll see what I can find for you.

Question: Hi Alan, i have got a modified Corsa M reg, it has 84000 miles on it and basically i would like to keep the engine running healthy, its running fine at the moment. I am aware about reconditioning engines or rebuilding but that is probably pricey. Can you give me some expert advice please, thanks
Answer: If it ain't broke, don't fix it! Just change the oil regularly, don't rev it too hard, don't let it overheat, make sure the anti freeze is topped up, and it should go on just fine.

Question: Hi Alan I am from Cape Town, South Africa. I just bought a Pulsar and found the head very noisy, after stripping i found that the head had no hydrolic lifters, is this normal on the gtir? how do i set the valve clearance?
Answer: They use little button shims, and are a swine to do. Your best bet is to find someone who has done it already, as it isn't really a home mechanic's job.
