Here's some pics to give you an idea of whats going on, everything looks ok to me but maybe you lot can spot something thats amiss... Air filter... Too much Sun...looking down onto lift pump... Fuel filter... Injectors... Air Intake...this is the only thing that looked as though...

Checked nothing at the minute...I'll chuck up a picture of the air filter to see what you all think of it. It's conical in shape and has no cover, don't know if this is normal or if it could lead to problems. Tbh I wouldn't even know what make it is to replace it!

Bit of an update, I gave her a little run out yesterday and in fourth gear I put my foot down, gently building the revs, turbo kicking in but it felt as though it was 'missing' slightly. Instead of a smooth power flow there was a slight dip in power which I could hear through the turbo...

It is mate, problem was there before I left it standing though, I'd just forgotten about it!

1. When I first bought her I was warned in no uncertain terms about staying clear of Britpart! 2. I work for myself...temptation is a cruel mistress!:D 3. Good idea, will do that. 3A. I had downloaded and printed all of the manuals and parts manuals off for a Series III...me beloved darling ex...

That doesn't sound too bad. Problem I've now got is that I want to bin off work so I can go and play.

If it is split is it a case of a new lift pump or can the diaphragm be changed? How much do lift pumps cost these days?

Yeah running on low was a school boy error, learnt that lesson! Will check everything over and replace fuel and air filter and see if it makes a difference.

Diaphragm in the lift pump? Soz for the daft question, still a newbie to this!

Haven't done anything to it, the tank was low on fuel when it first started to happen so do you think it could have just dragged some crap through from the tank and could be case of changing the fuel filter? When you say check the air cleaner, do you mean give the air filter a good bang out?

Its a Series III that had a 200Ti put in it a couple of years ago. When I first got it back I didn't use it too much but it seemed to run well for a a few weeks then problem started happening. Not much more to describe but I'll try... Going up through the gears it pulls very well, turbo...

The scenario... I can be driving along for a few minutes with plenty of power then all of a sudden power tails off, very smoothly, no sudden loss. I wait a few minutes and then fire her up again and she pulls off as normal with power only for the power to disappear again. My thoughts are...

Well, pleased to report that once I topped the oil and water up I gave her a go...plenty of charge still in the battery and abbot 10 seconds of turning over (one key turn) she fired up!! Very little smoke out the back, sounded sweet as anything, brakes fine as well, nowhere near as seized as I...

She's been stood outside the house on the street, luckily there was plenty of antifreeze in as if just changed all the oil, water, etc about a month before I stopped using her. What do you mean by take supply of stop solenoid?

I'm liking the sound of this.
