New breakdown record ?
Jimbo:
Hmmm, 45 mins and 7 'breakdowns' to cover just less than 1 mile - some sort of record maybe :oops:
'53 plate 110 Td5, 3/4 tank diesel. Everything seems to work fine, it goes ok (as much as they do !), but if you take ya boot off the gas - to slow for a roundabout or junction, it dies dead and refuses to re-start. It spins over ok, but doesn't fire. Leave it for 2 mins, curse and kick it - and away we go - all ok.............get another 100 yards or so, and slow for another junction, foot off the gas - and it drops dead :oops: Also dies when you lift off when changing from 1st to 2nd.
Got home eventually - did the last 300 yds in 1st to avoid having to lift off the gas ! Checked the pot on the throttle pedal, no sign of water or damp, gave it a shot of WD just in case.......any other thoughts ???

Don't tempt me.................. :evil:

cut off switch ?/ Lift Pump???
Jimbo:
Fuel pump seemed to be running - it's quite loud on the Td5, you can hear it whining away (a bit like SWMBO :twisted: )
Cut-off switch - you mean like the inertia switch thing that shuts off the ignition when you rear-end someone ?, have I got one of those ? :oops:
