Sounds like something wrong with the fuel system, pump or accumulator.

I gotta say oak green looks pucker.

Oak green is the best colour.....

ok one more problem - i have the car running now, have had her tuned all good the engine sounds really sweet.

i think i need a new cold start valve as when you go to start it in the morning it takes a while for teh revs to settle- they seem to bounce under 1000rpm adn if i press the accelerator it will die- however if i ease teh accelerator really gently she revs up and runs fine.

the car is idling pukka and the engine is running sweet however the car has no power - it takes ages to pick up even when warm any ideas???? i have fitted a new supply pump, fuel pump rotar arm and cap. any suggestions would be really appreciated.

Sounds like a normal valver to me - u have to treat it like a dirty b!tch and give it a good thrashing to get the most out of it !  ;D
