Well, it might be that the previous owner can enlighten you about what issues the car had before they sold it.

Could be why it was sold...

Helpful comment...... ::)
And again, the only purpose of your comment was to pick holes in one of mine whilst contributing absolutely zero to the original question.

That's another one. At least I actually contributed at the start of the thread. If you actually have nothing useful to say why bother commenting on the first place?

The above posts seem reasonable to me. DG answered the criticism by pointing out that if the OP can contact the previous owner he may find out what, if any, tinkering was done to get to the bottom of the issue. It may throw some light on the matter.   :y  :-\

I'm not saying that posts #6 and#16 weren't helpful - just that comments like the one in post #13 are neither use nor ornament to the  OP.

This is your third in this thread that has contributed absolutely nothing.  At least Mr Beanz didn't keep digging when he was pulled up on the same thing in another thread :-X

Hopefully the OP will be back to report on things that he has/hasn't tried and the results.

Can we try to get thread back on track, rather than bickering. Thanks.

Right - update time, cos everyone hates those threads where a problem is highlighted only to never see a resolution.

Was the car scrapped, did it live on the drive for the remainder of earth's days or was it in fact fixed?

After weeks of back and forth with this thing and putting it off because I had use of another car I finally got round to working through possible culprits.

First off was to get that fuel filter replaced - helpfully the fuel filter to main fuel lines under the car snapped upon fitting the new filter but that's fixed and the fuel filter was on. To no avail - still same issue. Relays were checked, replaced anyway with new genuine ones - still to no avail.

I had already done the camshaft sensor so decided to get a new Bosch crankshaft sensor on 'while I'm there' as they seem to be a known weakpoint on these, changed nothing.

Finally got the new fuel pump I had sitting around and decided to crack open the fuel tank and get that in - where I found the culprit, the fuel line from pump to tank cap was original and in a bad way with cracks and gashes all over it. It looks like it was enough to prime and run what was in the line but then couldn't keep supplying fuel at the right rate.

Changed the pump while I was there anyway, changed the line and buttoned it all up.

It's now running *touch wood* nicely and I'll take it for a proper shakedown once I've buttoned up everything under the bonnet and in the boot.
