    On the way to work today car cut out then was hard to start again finally got it going again then was ok. I've checked and made new earths to make sure. I checked voltage at battery when running it's saying 16.2v?? Also checked voltage at pump that's saying 14.3 v is this right?Think I have a dodgy electrical issue somewhere also if I start it after I've turned it off it will hunt and try and cut out.!

    That is what I thought. Could it be the voltage regulator on the alternator that's at fault?

    Right I've got a spare alternator so will get it swapped and see if it sorts it. Hopefully this is the problem with all the issues I've being having. Thanks for the help pal.

    Did you do the Haynes book TPS bridging thing when checking the timing? You then need to retard it for unleaded.
    def check the flexi pipe for a split.
    also look at the air inlet valve (electric choke?
    the coil & amplifier are a known issue too.
