Maybe you have a fault with the intank pump?

How much fuel is in your tank?

at the moment i am not to sure car only got delivered yesterday so they have a in tank pump aswell as under bonnet one?

Early cars are a 2 pump system, and the classic signs of failure are when there is less then 1/4 tank of fuel and it draws air in as well.

Add at least 3 or 4 gallons and see if it runs any better.

If the in tank pump has failed, it is possible to overhaul it and fit a pugeot unit

or fit the mkon ones as i did so far so good

Our cars have nearly enuff pumps for the injectors to have one each!

One in the tank, one under the bonnet, and the final HP one that feeds the rail.. Simple is best innit.. lol..

Escort van!!!

Please do not remind me of that episode in my life!!

Persevere with the car, she'll be worth it

Hopefully it will be a simple fix. But do keep the fuel level above half a tank - it works
