I changed the cas o ring and the heater hoses on my car today. after lots of swearing and scratching my head I got everything back together and all was good...............at first!!!!
When I started the car there was a loud tapping noise coming from the engine. I drove the car home which is about a mile away and the tapping seemed to stop :D I then went to get petrol and the car was very sluggish. If i try and accelerate the car would shudder and backfire!!!!!
Any ideas of what i'v done!!!!!!
