 :grin: That made me LARF Vaughn, I needed some of that.

Reet, Mechanic saw the air bubbles in the fuel line and done some investigating. Took the fuel pickup out the boot all looked clean, took the fuel pipes off to make sure fuel was getting through the filter which it was. Eventually after almost running my battery flat by cranking it over with the glow plugs(where spark plugs go on a 'gasser'?) loosened, he decided to take me out towing me and bump start it...



This got her going ! we pulled over and checked the fuel lines and tried revving her to see if she would cut out, all was fine so we took her round the Wallingford ring road got her home and checked over her for about a 1/2 hour revving her up,  switching her on and off.

NO more air in the fuel lines... and she seems fine now !

Cost..

Keep guessing...  :lipsrsealed:

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Well he's from Reading so a good 20min+ drive.

He did seem a bit interested in Golf's and asked if I had any others before etc
A top lad he was, I will be calling him if I have any more problems I can't sort.



Price... well... it's a fun guessing game init? :lipsrsealed:

Alright alright I'll tell ya...
















 £30  :grin:  :cool: 

Fair deal, I was expecting at least £50 before he came out and because he had been there so long I was starting to panic and thought it was going to be £75 - £100 ...
