I'm just starting the resurrection of my 2.0 Coupe after 15+ years in store so there will be lots of questions over the coming months. To start with:
- What size battery does the 2.0 Coupe take?
- The two sensors in the heads, my recollection is that one is for the oil pressure gauge, the other for the fuel pump cut out. Which is which or am I wrong.
- I'm going to try to turn the engine over by hand at the weekend. I've had the bores soaking in diesel and I'm going to take off the cam covers and have someone watching for stuck valves. Is it oK to turn the engine over (sympathetically) on the crank pulley nut, I know this is not recommended for some engines. Clearly I'm not going to apply alot of force, as much as I can do with a 1 foot socket wrench.
- I took the air filter off last nights and disconnected the breather hoses at the oil fillers. The stub on one of the oil fillers has what appeared to be some scrunched up brass wire in it, clearly a crude oil trap to prevent too much oil going up the breather. Is this standard or a previous owners bodge (I've owned the car nearly 30 years, I can't believe I've never had that hose off before).
