Hi Rod wecome to the club ----You don't say if its petrol or diesel.??????

When you say over choking I take it to be  petrol so first thing is to check air fillter and all pipes .???

 

Frank

HI Frank Thanks Yes It Is a petrol 2.5 All filters changed but no differance will look at pipes, just been told could be a collapsing pipe, but it only does it first start in morning, will take look in morning thanks will let you know, Cheers

Have checked all the pipes and all fit very well, and none are soft, so no collapsing. When I started up this morning which it starts first time every time, it is actually more like no choke, as she is at around 750/800rpm ???? But brakes still rubbish until 1/2_3/4 mile .

Hi .rod have a look at you automatic choke . sensor. Might be sticking.that will make it seem as if is over fuelling until it warms up.nigel

Hi I went to pick up a water pump from my local dismantler, when i asked him about the Auto choke sensor, and the lumpy running while cold, he looked at me as if I had 2 heads, then I asked about the braking probs and got an even weirder look and told these things can't happen as it's all electronic so should not/never do any of these bits, so some help with part numbers would be very helpful, and there location within the engine bay please, Thanks Rod
