Although, did anyone else fill up there on the way back from the Lakes. ...?

Yup ..   and I filled up there twice last week, once heading North and again heading South.

TBH, I don't see a fuel problem nearly a year ago only coming to light in the last few weeks, I know you reckon its temperature related, but think of the amount of fuel that has passed through in that time, without any problems..

But I don't know .. its just strange that it should take so long to become apparent ...

It was apparent immediately. It's just taken this long to get to the bottom of it. The car lagged badly on the way down from Leyland, but was fine on the way too.

It's got progressively bad, to the point it was stalling just after, if not before, Christmas. Once the car was warm it was fine.... Correction, once the latent heat got into the injectors it was fine. The Mo fits perfectly. Tilo didn't hesitate, and instantly said injectors once I described the symptoms. Kevin mentioned a possible slow injector issue a long way back. Although we where discussing the grey injectors range of performance.

It could be something braking down as Doz says. Or, it could continue to draw heavy ends down for a good while. Or, heavy ends could arrive all at once and get progressively stickier the longer they are in place. dunno. its my first encounter with heavy ends... Or what ever it was in the injector block.

Sfixed though. Oh yes. Definitely fixed.

I should add, it was re calibrated two or three times to get it to behave, over the course of a few months.

Thanks to Kevin.  ...and Lazytinker, on the dog.

Having said that, this pic and Lazyfockers reference to draining heavy ends implies they are a bit fluid. What I saw was more of a peppering. Very fine particles. But then I guess it would need to be to get passed the filters.
