<< < (3/3)

geozoe:
what i have look at and done so far is this i have replace the air filter and the exhaust and clean the pipes refitted the lift pump and done the sedimenter ,bit of crap but not bad. not sure what to do next but i have no joy there still behaving badly it idles fine.
and it runs well for a 100 yards then only 10 mph it cut out. anyone else got any ideas as i am at my wits end with my husband lol  :cry:  :evil:

imspanners:
As I've just posted in Needbeer's thread. The fuel pipes are prone for rotting on top of the fuel sender. Remove the plate in the boot floor and take a look.
You'll probably find the pipes are coated in rust. Try a coating of vaseline, if that makes it run better, replace the sender unit (around £50 from Craddocks).

needbeer:

needbeer:
cheers gents all sorted now there was a blockage in the fuel line near the tank.
