OOPs just realised you are in Coventry. There is a nice man, a very nice man
called Lates on this forum. Look on the members list for Lates.600 then look at his website. A 75/ZT specialist no less, in Coventry. Contact him for an opinion. He is always very busy, but I am sure he would listen to the car and tell you, manifold or motors? and if the problem is not urgent will book you in:xmas-smiley-013: Dave

Top Shout there Dave ( Twice)
Lates is the man, and it could be the VIS motors, most likely culprit is the power ( top) one.

Hi
Further to my recent posts I meet the Lates man this evening and he confirmed by inspection that the Inlet Manifold needs replacing toot sweet We have agreed a date of Saturday next at his Rugby workshops and the cost is cheaper than my first quote by nearly £150.00 so thanks to you all again for the intro to Lattes Problem that worries me though he kept checking to see if my cambelts had been done but thats another story Paul |
