ok james thanks. new user hopefully i can get sum help there then after reading some of these posts i think i know where this is leading to.

Hi m ate, im not very techincally midnded but can only call on what i have seen / posted up before

Have you checked ya fuel tank and fuel filler neck for rust / corrosion.

They often rust then small bits of rust get into fuel lines and fuel system and can cause troubles.

If you search there is a thread on here showing how to get to the fuel tank inspection chamber underneath your rear seats where you can look in (with the aid of a tourch) and see if there is much rust in ya tank

hope that might help …. Rich
