Yes Mate smile

Sorted out the accelerator problem (sticking) It turned out to have the wrong gasket which was hanging in the carb and jamming the throttle smile

Sorted!

Sumps are the same on every Vauxhall from that era. It's probably a good idea to change the sump gaskets now anyway as these engines always leak oil from here!

No, that's been there for years, it's in Carver's yard (the coach company). The bloke in there is very unfriendy (or to put it another way, a complete arsehole) and wouldn't even tell me who owned it. It's rotten anyway.
