Mikev8, just read through your threads & watched the vid & i really hope its not the injection pump! looking forward to spending friday checking it out & hopefully finding something(simple!) as i really like the car. also see youre a fan of the gsxr 750 like myself!

Thanks for all the quick replies guys. Pretty sure it hasnt been remapped as the previous owner said it was standard & certainly doesnt feel as if its been tuned! Just bought a FORTE diesel treatment/ cleaner on the way home from work so gonna stick that in tomorrow. Not sure whether an egr...

hi oldskool... i work in a motor factors & we put quite a bit of work his way, so i supplied the belt kit & he only charged me £60 as a 'favour' sure the official book time is between 3 & 4 hrs, depending on model.

Will do, & no ... i'll def not be using him again haha... to be honest i normally do allmost all my mechanical work myself but thought the belt might be a bit tricky... think i,ll try & adjust the pump through the inspection hole first, cant see it being too far out as it seems to start & run...
