Help, she won't start...
2.5 Contemporary SE manual. It seems to be firing but the best I can manage is a few stutters, same symptoms each time I try just more (or fewer) stutters each attempt. No obvious warnings, it was fine yesterday.
I've experienced a camshaft position sensor issue on a previous 2L Connoisseur but this seems to be different. |

Fuel filter separation comes to mind.

Indulge me, this is all new. Does that mean the replaceable fluted 'paper' filter insert has come apart - so that = fuel starvation or blockage?
Found the bits on Rimmers, apart from the actual filter and a couple of seals will I need anything else? What's the spring for? Is there a how to do you know? Cheap universal tool to remove/replace the locking collar or is a visit to the bank for a once-off use (I hope) what I have to plan for - looks a bit of a pig of a job. I can now see where the oft quoted orange clip lives, are these reusable since they are NLA with Rimmers. Does it all self prime once it's fixed or is it more magic tricks to learn? |

Good luck John. All the above are tips which I have gleaned from forum members although I did once assist with the collar removal. My car is old enough to have the original design of filter casing which does not come apart so I don’t have direct personal practical experience of this. Simon

Believe it or not it took me longer to remove the rear seat cushion (I've got the Contemporary black leather sport seat which is a lightweight version of the usual 75 seat and it's flimsy by comparison) than it did to do the seal/clip - didn't help that one of the seat springs was jammed under the rear floor clip - what an absolute pig!! I got the clip/seal from Ez-zee on e-bay and they provided a good step by step guide too. Started first try, much to my relief. |

Just for future reference a special tool can be made to aid removal of the seat... A stick with a 'V' cut in the end to push the sprung section away from the clip
