I am going to try this as soon as I can buy one, any recommendations for a supplier - does it also act a filter? Maybe that is why mine hasn't started yet - there is no fuel at all in the filter, but I haven't looked properly yet! Soon though with this weather!

Great work, well done. I presume it was a DIY security feature intended to isolate the ignition?

Haven't got mine started yet. Thought it was battery problem as it is a bit sluggish turn over - might still be part of the problem! I replace the (main) earth lead and cleaned up the seating areas last year. However, there is no fuel coming through. I haven't had much time to look at it yet, but seeking advice. I have mechanical pump. I sure that there is fuel in the tank (stainless steel), but I will put some more in to be sure, and I will blow back through the pipe to make sure it is not blocked. I have never had a problem with a mechanical pump before - is that a thing? Should I just buy a new pump?

Except the we will all want to know what the solution was . . . . . when it is found!

Have you changed the spark plugs? When I first got mine, I thought it had the wrong plugs (from the number) bought new quality ones for a 2l Pinto, put them in and had similar problems, put the old ones back in and it was fine after that. If you are low on fuel, could be something floating around in the tank and blocking the outlet, but it sounds like you have filled it. Back in my Triumph car days, I am sure I had similar problems when coils aged and broke down.

A miracle at this time of the year?

Thank you, Happy New Year to you and all members. I hope you (we) all have a trouble free motoring year.

Welcome, looks good

Well I have pressed it at all sorts of times; engine running, engine not. One day I'll go behind that dash and tract the wiring to it - if there is any!

Could be but I was hoping for a faulty ejector seat and that I could fix it when I take the seat out to fit runners. It can't be for the heated rear screen or central locking or sun roof. Any other suggestions

I suppose that might be nice, but it serves no purpose to them and the bottom line it is not really what they are paid to, so yes they would want payment and I suspect there would still be data protection issue. I might add that I found the person who built my car and he would not respond to any of my enquiries/messages. He probably thought that I had found something wrong with it and didn't want leave himself open to criticism or a load of questions - there isn't anything wrong as far as I know, but I would like to know what the silver button on the dash is supposed to do!

It is called data protection. Personally I am glad random people cannot find out who owns a particular car (registration) and where they live. It would be a wonderful tool for car thieves, scammers. Even the Police can get into trouble if they try to find out details of car owners without reasonable cause/need.

No I am not I always use gasket paper. I was just intrigued by the use of cereal packet (ref. above) and how long that would last.

Pretty sure it did. Now that I think about it I don't think they made it clear and that's why I ordered one and why I ended up with a spare. Best call them to double check though.

Really, but for how long?
