Thanks for all the replys to my last post about the oil breather pipe,damed helpful lot you are.
Anyway things have developed since then like for instance I broke down in the car ,looks good though on back of recovery truck ,cars nearly crashing staring at it.but its fixed now.
Well almost still doing my best to get to stoneleigh in it.
I new I had a carb problem,and it was stinking of fuel and not running very well at all wouldnt pull the skin off a rice pudding,I was on my way to Betaparts for him to have a look at it ,but alias it didnt make it got to huddersfield cut out and that was it wouldnt restart got to beta parts on back of recovery truck,he took top off carb cleaned out jets found float level to high put it back together while at it put new triple core spark plugs in it and new air cleaner as it had wrong one in it,also checked the compression whilst at it.got there at 1.00pm left at 5.00pm car runs great now all this was done for a very resonable £90 all in with parts and labour Chris certainly seems to now his Lancias,said id give him a free plug on the forum,but now for my latest fault I fitted the pipe from airbox back onto the egr valve found it lurking below inlet manifold near the dizzy but since connecting it i am now getting a an oil leak from the dipstick tube.It has been suggested to remove the egr valve clean it out and refit it as if its not working properly or is blocked with carbon ,can cause a build up of pressure and push oil out of dipstick tude seal and tube,is this right?
what does anyone think is this a good starting point ?
Also still havent been able to resize my pictures to upload them i am on window home xp home edition is there any program on it i can use to resize?
Once again thanks for youre help.
