I will tell you what id try...next time you fill up add some engine cleaner/fuel system cleaner/power boost fuel additive...
If you goto your local car parts shop and explain you want the best fuel additive to give the engine and fuel system a good clean they should point you in the right direction...
Just follow the instructions on the bottle and it will take a full tank of fuel but its worth a try and the additive should be under a tenner easily
..
REDEX is a popular brand of additive.
NOX is also popular.
WYNNS aswell....
All brands sell different variations so you could be spoilt for choice so ask the staff. |
Thanks, will do this tomorrow

Asda has had Redex on offer recently. Think it was £4 per bottle.

Hi yes, just back from another garage. (I appreciated the advice to go back to the other, but they didn't want my business!) I am now £220 worse off but have a new starter motor to show for it. I also have two holes in an air pipe diagnosed with instructions to get one from a scrap yard, as thats what is causing the revving by itself, which is back with a vengence, however....
It now starts when warm!!!!!
Thank you all for your advice.

Great news, don't want to dampen your spirits but £220 does seem a bit pricey for a starter motor and fitting, unless on that engine its realy, realy, akward to fit and time consuming.
