sounded like it stalled maybe through settled fuel or something and then gave yourself a bump start

was up at the garage today and fuelled up bumbob so i will be up there again tomorrow if your around mark and we can finish the brake line off and thats that

 

[mrcinquecento]

yup, should be free tomorrow

just been out for an hour long run, no reccurence of the engine cut outs and no hesitations

one issue, not an unexpected one.....engine temp. it's not overheating but it is running a tad hotter than i'd like, even at a steady 70mph the engine temp creeps up to 90, no matter how hard i tried i couldnt get it above 92-95ish, fan would kick in and bring it under control, but its kicking in alot...the cause? my rad has taken one hell of a beating from the old hormann bumper being so open its about as protective from stones and crap as a feather :laugh: half the veins are shut off on the front...i guess thats how it's not cooling well from air when driving but the fan blowing in from the back does the trick fine

new rad and the jobs a goodun

btw, this cars been well over-engineered :laugh: not one off rattle or squeak, groan or knock......it's been rebuilt better than fiat managed from the factory :laugh:

yes, it's just had new coolant and the system bled, also been keeping an eye on levels because of the heat and it's used no coolant at all the past week

which leads to a worrying question of...... how did people mange to spot differences between pictures of the same car taken at the same time then?

it's not my fault people are too lazy to look down a few posts :laugh:
