O.T.H

With all the news at the moment about diesel engine cars going to be taxed more etc I think I would think before buying .???? Frank

That little valve in the pump I'm talking about just stops the fuel from dropping back once your fuel pressure is back the engine will run no problem .??? I ask a fitter that I know he said---- It may be something as simple as moisture in the fuel or a problem with the fuel filter so I would recommend the fuel filter is changed now if there is any doubt its not been done for a while. ??? I suspect there may be a fuel pump problem, although it may just be a sensor which is cutting the fuel supply or not reading correctly such as a rail pressure sensor or return valve.????the fuel is being allowed to get air in it or is running back to the tank. We cannot rule out a sensor with this but its more likely to be on the fuel system, the fuel filter would be the first step. Frank

I'm sorry to say I think you need a new or recon fuel pump if you have no leaks .???? because if it has a leak between the tank and the pump it will run back or there is a valve in the pump that holds the fuel from running back at fault .??? Frank

Welcom back Ken and I wish you all the best in you recovery and the future . I agree salts not good . Frank

Rushden --Northants.

I agree with you it sounds as it is a earth conection .??? Frank

I say Peter that tells us you lived in the same world as me in the past ..Ha-Ha-

Thank you for that Peter I have looked on Halfords site and they recomend a- 12v Yuasa -Silver Cor Battery - with a 5yr guarantee at==£104.99 . So I think thats what I will go for because I have found in the past that cheap doesnt pay not with battery's. I will get the RAC to come and start the car then go to Halfords about 5 miles away and I see that they will fit and check the old one for £9.99 so why get dirty .???? Sounds good . Yes I will have my discount card with me. Frank

Battery flat this morning can anyone tell me the best battery to fit on a --2ltr --2002 --Petrol --X Type I havent used the car for 4 days and in this cold weather the battery,s gone flat on me so I think I will be sure and fit new from Halfords .??? Frank

Code reader plug just above your right knee drivers side --Well thats where mine is .???? Good Luck Frank

Hi Robert if you are talking of a auto gearbox and because you have to press the footbrake to move into gear's I would first try pressing the brake harder if this doesnt help it must be a sensor that the brake trips .???? Frank

What a build really great to see all the photo's and I can see the work that gone into it You must feel good that its now coming all together and looking so fantastic . Frank

I think Peter will be the best to answer this and he will tell you about Terra-Clean Sevices .???? Frank

Hi Matthew I agree with Peter a new battery might well be the answer. :unsure: :) If not something's on and running it down a trickel charger will add to your problem .?? Find out why it keeps going flat first .??? A good battery will perhaps cure all your problems because all sorts happens to a Jaguar with a dodgy battery. Frank

Hi Jon Welcome happy motoring. Thats a nice color and looks really good . Frank

It sounds like mixture at idle so I would say you have a small hole--a split pipe etc on the induction side so I would check that first .???? Frank

Welcome --I love my X Type and I hope you will yours-- beautiful car . Frank

Sounds Awesome keep going

I like it looks good--- years ago I had the same problem with dust and as you say dust proofing booths cost a lot of money ---I tried a set of curtains but after a few uses the dust was back again If you still have a small amount still on after the final coat.??? I found a good polish after it had weathered for a while was the answer .???? I really like the color and I think it will look fantastic when its all built up . all the best Frank

Well done it looks great. Frank

Really looking good a lot of work but getting there. Frank
