Just tried it now and its starts but is very lumpy, also when you rev it and release it cuts out!!
Im going to be break this car for parts i think
Find the air leak. If you have a dump valve, remove it at once.
Also, check carefully that:
1) The oil filler cap seal is good.
2) The oil, seperator hasnt cracked.
3) The dipstick is fully in.
the recovery bloke checked ll this last night, i have got a dump valve but would that cause the oil leaking through the seal???
Is it cutting out because its loosing compression with the seal leaking
