im lost.......well i know what your getting at but the shaft could still pop with no pressure being on it when its needed to keep it in and the inner cv could slip further down the shaft with no circlip on it? well in theory, never done it that way ive only ever put the washer on the other side

right had look at shaft and can do the washer, but need a new outer cv joint first as its been cut short and if did washers wouldnt be enough thread for nut! ive also got fan running now so thats another problem sorted, but you know how it goes, got another problem come now
driving home last night and it must have cut out about 30 times on my journey home (15miles) seemed thou that it always kept cutting out when slowing down for like a junction or roundabout. anyone have any ideas to what it could be?
also towards end it started like kangarooing alot the engine

well 300 miles done now, getting better all the while, been a week since lost spark last so that seems sorted, been a few days since cutting out stopped, so hope thats sorted now, and now it actually starts on cold, so getting better and im happy
only things now is seems battery drains fast and getting oil in header tank, its only bits coming up the side thou so i think porous head may be fixed, just wana get it all flushed out before i put in new header tank and coolant! took a few snaps too...
