Alan had rescued a Dutch fellow (Martyn) who had bought a Robin Hood in Holland around Xmas and had ventured onto the RHOCaR site, due to his limited writing skills in English he got a rather negative response from the forum.
After a few emails with Alan, Martyn had arranged to come over to the UK for the Stoneleigh kit car show and the following week Alan would swap out Martyns 1600cc Pinto engine for a 2000cc EFI Pinto.
When we all turned up at Alan's home on Saturday morning the engine was already in the car but there was a few problems to sort out one of which was the sticking flap in the airflow meter.After a couple of hours trying to get it to work we found that the airflow meter in Alan's Golf GTI was the same as that on a Sierra and as the car is off the road it was removed and fitted in to the Hood all was working fine till a few more problems poped up like-
Fuel starvation through kinked pipe and the Throttle cable needed a mod to get it working.
