Neil, Martin said it was scarrily lean at the top end when on the rolling road day, and said its highly possible to be the fuel pump.
the car had been no issue since then but i hadnt given it any beans, then the faults started last week with the missfiring, so i jumped at sensors faults and air leaks due to the tick over problem aswell.
shame really as i should have just done the fuel pump in the first place and this scenario would have never happened, but hey ho - we live and learn and its all come good in time.
the car will amke the trip and will be wearing its Reyland badge with pride
Cheers Rich
