Hi all,
After an impulse ebay purchase I'm now the owner of this car below-
It is the 2l model.
I'm actually very impressed with how solid the car is, underneath has been well cared for with no immediately obvious rust issues. The car does have a few problems though, the left indicator doesn't flash, the intermittent wipe doesn't work and neither do the front or rear fog lights.
The main issue is with the engine, it starts up fantastic first time every time, but then pretty much refuses to accelerate on anything but full throttle in first gear, in second it is absolutely perfect and fully responsive at any throttle position and revs right round to the red line, then 3rd and 4th it splutters sometimes accelerating sometimes nothing for long periods of time. In 5th it once again accelerates as you would hope.
Now i'm not particularly mechanically proficient, but it sounds like a fuelling problem to me? Any help guys?
Also does anyone know the car?
Well nice to meet you all (electronically at least!)
Dean
