    Fuel Pump

    Many, many thanks, much appreciated. I had Gigglepin fit the engine and they have looked at it since, changing this and that, but no one ever suggested this. I'll get straight on it.:)

    Fuel Pump

    I've got an ex mod 90 that I fitted a 2.5 petrol into to avoid the dreaded LEZ. Ever since then I have had problems, generally in hot periods and in traffic where the fuel pump gets louder and louder and then it cuts out. Leave it for 20 minutes and it will run again. Temp gauge works and is...

    Petrol 90 Overheating

    Sorry guys, usual probably basic question for you, but that's why I come here :) My 90 has got a 2.5 petrol retro-fitted into it to avoid the good old LEZ.

    90 2.5 Petrol Query

    Help! I have a 2.5 petrol, in my 90. Once it's been running a while and switched off after local traffic it won't start unless left for 20 mins. Other times when in local traffic, I hear a noise and the engine just cuts out, again 20 mins before it re starts? Any ideas out there?

    LEZ - Enginme Swap?

    Help me if you can I'm feeling down! My Ex Mod 90 N/a has sat unmoved for nearly two months as I'm in the M25 cameras everywhere!. I did think write to DVLA with the window in the side - estate - option but no doubt it will takre ages and get thrown back via the chassis number. I don't need a...

    London LEZ -90 N/a

    My next challenge is how can I get around the new LEZ ruling with my ex mod 90. Is there any mileage in the fact that it has and always had had bench seats in the back. I live within M25 and really don't want to go down the filter route ?????????

    Battery Access on 1986 90

    It's direct from Witham SV but must have carried someone who could request a bit motre comfort as they are moveable LR seats on runners and they tilt, so not the norm base and backs you would find........any ideas?

    Battery Access on 1986 90

    Help Help Help.........this has got to be an obvious one but flat battery on 90 forces charge and therefore i have taken plate off but have I really got to take out the whole seat to get at it properly. I'm used to Series 1's so bit of a mystery to me, but need to use it!......Thanks:doh:
