Thank you for all the advice, bit of a schoolboy error on my part. When I took the MU out I did not notice the little red plastic drive dog, which dropped onto the floor. After a lot of head scratching had a look round and there it was on the garage floor. Refitted with the dog drive in place and now the car is running. Need a bit of work on the timing but just grateful it actually runs.

Quick update. Contacted Neil Ferguson and and got the MU over to him. Took him a couple of days but he identified the problem and sorted it out. Very impressed with price and explanation of what the problem was, would recommend him. MU now back on the car and was out driving it this afternoon.

Have just fitted a reconditioned metering unit on my TR6. Everything seemed to go well but cannot get it to start. Getting fuel to the injectors ad am out of ideas as to what it could be. Any suggestions appreciated.

Thank you 'thescrapman'. His name has come up before and have contacted him today. The MU is now off the car and am gettiing to him ASAP.

Thank you for all the helpful advice, very much appreciated. All of the above suggestions have been checked through but it would appear that the metering unit is the cause of the problem. Am now in the market for a reconditioned unit and that should sort things out. Corco

Have recently bought a TR6 (car of my dreams for years) and to all intent’s it looks as if it has been really well looked after throughout it’s life, got a full folder/binder detailing everything that has ever been done to it. Prior to buying it, it seems as though it sat around for a while (in a showroom) before I bought it. The problem I have is that it is running very rich with the plugs being covered in carbon after only doing about four miles. Have done all the usual things, new plugs, leads, rotor arm and distributor cap and have also checked the timing and made sure the injectors are all functioning correctly. Am at a bit of a loss now as to where to look next. Any advice will be gratefully recieved. corco
