ok so i sorted fuel problem
relay kept dropping out............checked the wiring and found a nearly severed wire in the fuse box which feeds pump, soldered in a new wire
car started and ran
and then a new problem reared its ugly head
ok , if its cold it will start and run happily and will run for about 15 to 20 mins....then the thing wont tick over nd dies and will not restart for half an hour....so i thought obviously fine on choke but dont like being hot
so any ways tonight i thought sod it, lets take it out....hoooon the crap out of it and get it hot....ran fine..(ran for about an hour, temp was perfect......then pulled up outside house, it sat ticking over lovely for 5 mins, then idle started going a little low and it stalled.......it would not start again, left it for 5 mins so its still hot, turned it over and it ran for another 20 mins then died
any ideas
??????

couple of things that could help......
have you tried
1. sitting in car stroking the steering and saying you will buy her something nice if she just starts and runs
2. if the above fails try hitting the steering wheel and saying that you gonna cut her uo in little pieces
this has worked for me in the past, you just have to do the old good cop bad cop routine
hope you get sorted dude
someone will know for sure

check the hoses that are behind the inlet manifold that go onto the auxillary air device. they are plastic pipes with sleeves on where the jubilee clips are.

the whole point of buying this car was knowing it had many faults.........once it is up and running correctly, i shall be stripping it and re-painting the shell to bring her back to her former glory
ok the car will now not start hot or semi cold unless you just touch the fuel distributor plate(does start when its stone cold though)..........as soon as you just touch it it fires into life, idles smoothly and runs perfectly, switch it off and it will not fire unless you just lightly touch plate
i have been right over this car for air leaks, sprayed easy start over the inlet system, servo, everywhere in fact just to see if i can find one.....and nothing
somebody has told me that cvh's are supposed to stall when you take the oil cap off.... mine runs a little rougher but does not stall !!!!!! is this right
