Well, had my 1st issue with the old girl today, wondering if any of you guys have had a similar experience.
Had to go to Halfords (for my sins) this morning to get some bits and bobs, started up and drove down there with no issues. Got my bits and then jumped back into the car and she started up fine, went to pull off and she cut out. Tried restarting and she did with no problems but then went to pull off again, died again, right in the middle of the 1 way system of the car park (embaressement central), tried a few more times with exactly the same results, would tick over but if I tried to rev up, she died again. Managed to finally get her in to a parking space and after several (about 20) times of coughing & spluttering she finally roared back into life as she should do and managed to get home without any more incidents.
The car has only done 2000kms this year and when I picked her up she had no fuel so put £20 in to get me home so the fuel is fresh, I'm getting no engine management light coming on but my 1st port of call is gonna be changing the fuel filter and checking the connections on the fuel pump.
Any ideas or thoughts would be appreciated, please bear in mind it's a £500 car which has had little or no TLC for a number of years.
And on a brighter note, found out today she's got coilovers all round......................result!
