I'm sure Woodford was about £60 + PP and PJ was just under that.

Did you bother with an alternator?

I think I've caught yer flu'ee bug, coz me sitting at work feeling like cr@p and on my pushbike, so can't just get home in a hurry!

sorry rob im still no well either! hence ive done nothing about the cossie! all ive managed so far is to price up evo's so i can get out of ford world

rw had some ideas about the car. ie take off the fuel line going to the inlet and time how long it takes to pump 2litres of fuel through. try this when car cold and then when pump whining to see if theres a difference. playing with fuel isnt too much fun tho!

he suggested the fuel reg first tho.

It did SLIGHTLY go into my head about driving to work, but that quickly faded!
By the time I got to the Toby roundabout, the traffic was just along there on the Parkway, heading to Tesco's!

Major sideways and no traction on the pavements, but was still going faster than the traffic!

People were taking 2-1/2 hours to get from George St to my work this morning! Only 25 mins in the snow for me!

The Ford manual suggests the checking the fuel pump flowrate, but thats the last thing I want to do, the way I'm feeling right now. Managed only to put the rear bumper on the XR last night and masked up half the car windows for the black strip.
The reg will be far easier to check!
