Re: Random stalling - not sure why...

did you manage to find the cause of the problem? We're having the same problems with our Golf Clipper, and I'm gonna take a look at the tank fuel pickup tomorrow. I'm thinking of changing the fuel pump too, see if it makes any difference. In my case it was a dirty inline fuel filter. It was a fram ...

Re: Rocky V2.0

Well, it time for a conclusion to this story, and a sign off. This wee rascal threw me a few more curve balls before letting itself go home to DeeJayDready. I went to get it ready for MOT a few weeks back to find that 3 of the 4 springs were in fact snapped :ire: On investigation it would seem that ...

Re: Random stalling - not sure why...

it could also be down to a bit of water getting in if it is your filler neck gone. once a new one fitted, run some wynn's dryfuel thru it to get rid of anything that's left Good idea - I'll get some Wynns. My brother in law has what I can best describe as a big bendy stick with a magnet on the end ...

Re: Random stalling - not sure why...

Well, I took a decent look in with a torch - and there were literally just about a dozen tiny fragments left in the tank - about 1mm in size. I had 3 very strong magnets that I've chucked in - and I used a long screwdriver to pull the fragments over to them - and they stuck instantly to them. I'll ...

Re: Random stalling - not sure why...

OK.. had a look just now. One thing I'll thanks the Germans for - it an easy to get at fuel sender. A total contrast to the daft TR7 setup. Popped off the back seat base, took off the 2 fuel pipes and with a rubber mallet, knocked off the sender/pickup. Took it out and inspected it. There was little ...

Re: Random stalling - not sure why...

take the bottom of the rear seatr out. remove inspection cover (3 screws) then unscrew sender from tank. check the pickup isn't clogged with rust. if it is, chuck a magnet in the tank, fit a new fuel filter and open up the holes in the pickup. then check your filler neck for rust Dead on. I've had ...

Re: Random stalling - not sure why...

Yup. It stammers, loses power, picks up.... then cuts out. Sit at the side of the road for 5 mins and all is well again. Tell me the pickup is easy got at! Last time I had tank trouble was on my TR7v8. Back axle out job.

Random stalling - not sure why...

OK. I'm not sure where this problem lies - so I'll just tell you the running order and we'll see... I was driving back home a few days ago - fuel needle was at the top of the red. I'm not used to the car, so I assumed that was fine. Suddenly, the car started to stammer. 5 secs later - dead. Managed ...

Set more than a bag of crips in there, and it falls into the spare wheel beneath :hehe: Surely theres some kind of hard cover meant to be under there? And is there a source for better quality boot ...
