hi I have just changed the coil for one of a donner car and drove round the block a few times then switched it off waited about ten minutes started it again drove around the block again without any problems , fingers crossed it sorted that problem out , I might buy a new one and keep the other...

thanks my dad had one of those no idea what happened to it , I have found a local mechanic who only works on classics , hopefully he will get to the bottom of the problem

I put new plugs in and new air filters still cutting out when its hot

I am not sure someone has painted it black

hi it is electronic ignition , I finally got the plugs out after grinding down a plug socket like suggested , the plugs were black does that mean the carbs are running to rich and would that cause the spluttering and cutting out once the engines hot

i; think my car has electronic ignition does it have a condenser

hi the pump looks quite new it has one pipe going in and one pipe going to a transparent filter then to the carbs

thanks my fuel pump is electric but its in the engine bay

yes i remember the condenser from my cars in the eighties thanks

yes i can hear the pump sometimes when the engine is running . i dont know if its the right pump for for car it looks different to the electric pumps i have seen on other p6 its quite noisy aswel

thanks what is the capacitor

when i collected the car i filled it with shell V power drove it back home about 140 miles the a week later i topped the tank up with esso super

thanks

hi i pushed a small drill through the hole the drill came out clean i then ran the engine and the pipe was hot.
