I have followed the sticker under the bonnet with no luck. That's why I'm asking for help, anyone with a bit more idea than me!

right!!!! i have finaly got the vac pipes sorted :D  :D  :D and all was running well!  sat on our drive feeling happy that after 2 long months i can drive it!! it got hot and the termostat opened, and it started to cough and struggle, until it stalled. only runs when hot if i hold the revs on the throttle. about 3 seconds after it started struggling  i had a coolant leak on the choke were i forgot tighten a jubilee clip and had a fair bit of steam around.
had enough off this car now!! might just cut my losses and break it.  :banghead:
