Thanks for the replies

I had a good look to try and find out whats going on
And Colt I reckon you've hit  it on the head, ( Ive got some gunk in the fuel tank )
I undid the fuel line just before the filter that's before the fuel pump and stuck my air gun up the
fuel line and blew the @#$& out of it.
Problem fixed.   for a little while any way,
so now I'll remove the fuel tank and clean it out.

Thanks for the help

Thanks FCRB26

I tested the fuel pump ( undid the fuel line and started the car - fuel came out) after that I removed the jets one either side of the carby and they were OK ,   
Should I remove the jets inside the carb and test ??

Hi
My car starts and runs for a short time then just cuts out , it feels like its starving for fuel !! I leave it sit for awhile
and it then does the same thing
any ideas,

Griffo.

 I have a 202 red motor that has a different size oil filter than the standard Ryco Z30
it uses a Z37 which is smaller in diameter and has a different thread size ,
Can anybody explain why this would be ??? It all looks the same as any other red motor or am I missing
something ?

Thanks for the info Guys got it all sorted now , replaced the lines with what was
there before , after talking to the guy at pirtek , just added a rubber gromett where they passed through
the front radiator support panel,

Cheers Griffo.

Thanks Craig,

Ill check out one of those tomorrow , Its good to know what to ask for ?

Thanks Scott,

Disconnected the oil cooler lines and temporarly reconnected them together inside the
engine bay , ( because they were partially obscured) put some fluid in and started her up
couple of seconds later and there was the leak from a hole in the lines.
Now will have to wait till Monday to get some new lines and fit them.
Can anyone suggest what is the best type of line ??

Hi,

Auto started to lose power   ( engagement ) just before i got home today ,

pulled up opened the bonnet and there was fluid everywhere! all over the front end and around
the sub frame near the radiator just near where the fluid lines go through the front panel and into the cooler.
The gearbox is completly out of fluid so the car does'nt drive.

I think that I may have a leak in one of the lines that goes from the gearbox to
the cooler in from of the radiator, although have'nt been able to positively identify that just yet
waiting for the car to cool so I can remove the bottom radiator hose which is located directly above the
fluid lines.  I'm guessing that its hiding the the problem.

Question is does anybody think that it could be something else ???
