Thanks to all above for your replies, I'm genuinely grateful for the hints and tips.
Having read your answers, I strongly suspect it's me, not seating the gun at the right angle.
I had thought that once it clicks on, "job done", but angle of attack is a familiar term, and makes sense.
I'll have another go tomorrow. The kit was well fitted by Brands Hatch, and I know it was fully greased when I collected it.
I'm probably unduly concerned by the all the potholes I've encountered.
The car had new King Pins about 6000 miles ago, so possibly they are in good order and make a good seal. I did manage two shots
with the N/S/F, so Im sure my engineering skills have potential. Oh, and the brakes still work which is a bonus.
Regards to all.
