After parting with rather a lot of money last week to have a few bits sorted by my local specialist, I am now losing patience with my '94 'Softdash' V8, which suddenly doesn't want to start. It has always started well in all weathers in the 3 years I have had her, but on Monday it was turning over but just wouldn't quite start. The battery is new, so no issues there. After a bit of faffing, I got the RAC out who diagnosed a fault with the fuel pump, which wasn't quite kicking in?? A bit of tinkering got it going though and the car ran nicely after that. Then I got in it yesterday and the battery was completely dead... barely had enough life in it to light the dash. I got her going with jump leads eventually and she ran fine, although nearly stalled later on when I was reversing at low speed into the drive - could this be a sign of anything?
Any suggestions as to what the issue could be would be greatly appreciated. Are the fuel pump issue followed by the dead battery linked, perhaps?
Cheers
