Well this ongoing saga is still going on, after trying a new fuel pressure regulator, new fuel pump, new map sensor, new plugs, new leads and new dizzy i have finally found out what the problem is, and its the one i was fearing most

After doing a compression test (which i really should have done first) i have found that number 4 cylinder isnt a happy chappie, but its all coming into place now.

I noted that i had a slight top end rattle which was described as a possible stuck lifter, oh i wish, number 4 is dead

Cylinders 1,2 and 3 were all at 130 psi, cylinder 4 nothing, so looks like a valve has decided to give me some grief.

With the car covering just 2300 miles since a full and expensive rebuild, i didnt imagine that this would be an engine problem but it is, so its off back up to Peterborough to be fixed.

Anyone know of any decent recovery companies as the RAC who we have been with since 1978 wont help me out
