The car is suffering from fuel starvation,she will start and can be driven gently,but under acceleration she will cut,and become very difficult to start.
Andi Willi managed to get into the car with his Delphi Diagnostic equipment and discovered a few old fault codes which he printed off.Interrogating the car again nothing out of the ordinary showed up to concern us with the problem. The previous evening Sworks and myself discussed the issue and agreed that the fuel pump and possibly the filter could be the issue.The car had been stood for a great length of time with water in the fuel tank,which has probably damaged the pump. Also during the course of the cars life it will have been topped up with gerry cans containing contaminated fuel,so the filter could be clogged. The plan is to source a good second hand tank containing the pump and filter,which will be the easiest and cheapest option. |

Perhaps I have too,but nothing takes away the history of this car,and to a true enthusiast this car is amongst those at the top of the tree.
All these cars are worth saving and scrap yards are an easy option. |

The "club" is a limited company, not a club in the classic sense.
I'm not saying that's bad, it's just not very clear (at least it wasn't when I was searching)
