Hi Thanks for the pix My HG looks as if its correct when compared with the 1.5 OHC I have a suspicion that the guy who changed the gasket was an amateur mechanic (as indeed am I) It was done at 39000 miles and now reading a little over 48000 camshaft is scored but not that badly. I am more concerned...

Lanos 1.4 SOHC year 2000. Bought this recently as a none runner. Started first crank, ran a few seconds, then died. I have wasted a week thinking this was a controls problem. Primary fault and last owners reason for selling was "engine starts and runs OK for a few seconds then dies" Car very recentl...

Hi Daniel Thanks for your response. I'm guessing the drawing shown in your post is from the DOHC engine ? On my 1.4 SOHC lanos, the toothed wheel is behind the crancshaft pulley at the bottom of the engine (directly in-line with the camshaft pulley). It is not solid as shown in the manual. It has sl...

Sorry folks I forgot to say - I HAVE searched in all the related posts and have not found much that relates to my problem. Tomorrow I plan to check fuel flow somehow (I have some pressure gauges and hope I can make an adaptor). I also want to remote start the engine while I check for spark - but nee...

Hi again heres my update 2000 Lanos 1.4 SOHC in UK 1.

Please bear with me here, I live in a village, have no transport (can't get to a breakers yard) I have no assistance (so no-one to crank...

Hi MMamdouh Thanks very much for your quick and informative reply. I have just come back in the house from still struugling with this and had decided I had to take of the back TB casing - The manual though shows the rear casing in place in the illustration where it identifies the 3 water pump clampi...

Spent more time this afternoon and have come to the conclusion that the oil pump needs to come off before I can get to the last water pump bolt - can anyone confirm this ? A lot of the stuff I've looked at relates to the DOHC engine which is quite different to my SOHC. The manual does not seem to me...

Hi Folks, SEEKING HELP _ WATER PUMP TURNING ADJUSTMENT. I have bought a non-running 2000 Lanos S SOHC with 48000 miles on it. UK - so it's right-hand drive. Primary fault and last owners reason for selling was "engine starts and runs OK for a few seconds then dies" Car very recently fitted with new ...
