Jim ( Citroen Jim)
Jim Eastment
Jim was involved in a cycling accident yesterday and has been hospitalised.
Jim has a neck injury requiring a frame etc to immobilise him _temporarily_ and some broken ribs etc.
At present he resides in Milton Keynes Hospital (where one of his daughters works) and seems to be in his normal upbeat and positive mood.
A full recovery is expected.
I will update when he wishes me to........I will pass on ALL messages

Tell Jim he was right from My First Activa thread
That should cheer him up

NEVER, EVER trust the timing hole in the crank pulley on an Activa!!! They are NOT accurate on a used pulley...
Being a dual-mass the outer annulus - where the timing hole is - moves relative to the inner annulus over time...
I used to have a solid pulley from a Pug 205 I used for timing purposes...
The difference between the two is about 25 degrees and comparing the two, looks to have been running too advanced.
Hoping to get it all back together tomorrow and see how the engine sounds ...
I'm guessing I've been lucky not to damage the engine and hoping to get my boost back .....

Re: Jim ( Citroen Jim)
pleased to see he's not yet pushing up the Daisies. Big 'Thank You' to Jim from me, I followed a link to Jim's own page (hadn't previously realised the site existed) while looking for info on my BE-3 Gearbox.
