I should have mentioned this before, but if your car has one of the tiny filters I was referring to you I suggest that you install a larger after-market unit. My filter was so small that one less-than-pristine fill-up would clog it again. Glad you resolved the problem wither way!!!

Inspired by you, I've bought an Oldsmobile which ran great guns for 200 miles, then conked out; closest approximation I could think of was fuel evaporation, but it turned out to be coilpacks - I should have recognised it, I've had an overheating coil in an Allegro before Still, that caused issues after just 5 miles!

Inspired by me? You f*ckin' nutter!

Pictures ,more info please ?

1989 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Coupe, 2.8 V6 with the FWD gearbox (W-body platform). "Inspired" in the sense of considering a more modern but imported car to fulfil my "large brood" requirement (see General Chat); yay for 3+3 seating!

Pictures will be forthcoming when I collect it from Paragon MoT in Northampton, which is as close as I got to home All I have at the moment are the FleaBay auction pics (which aren't representative, but in a good way!)

Sounds great,can't wait to see the pics

I thought you were a builder, surely you don't need an excuse to buy a Caddy, like this one:




Plenty space for your tools and materials in there though, mmm, practical!

That's rather tasty,I do like those VW Caddys when they're all jazzed up.
