Being paid to buy diesel.
I messed up after changing the fuel filter on my Mondeo. I filled the new filter, but just started the car through the open window - no way of holding the revs higher than idle.
It ran for a few seconds then died. Tried to restart and got nothing.
So I filled a jerry can at the petrol station. Paid with a tenner, expecting £3.50 change or so, and instead got £13.50.
Thank you please!
No revs :cry:
Oh.
It sometimes cuts out when in 5th/6th at low revs. Like on cruise and encountering a bank, when ideally it should be in a lower gear.
Doesn't do it that often, but it's a minefield of possibilities working out what is at fault.
Seems to be low fuel pressure shutting off the pump.
My money is on injectors needing cleaned. Too much supermarket fuel. lol
It first happened about 10 miles from home with an empty car trailer and a 1K mile journey ahead to get my Escort/stuff for my mates MR2.
Should have seen his face when I said I was still going. lol
I think I got all my oil, oil filter, fuel filter etc from here they always have offers http://www.fordonlineparts.co.uk/man...+Mondeo,i.html
I assumed the modeo filter would be the same as the tranny so it might not be drawing in air.
Will be, yeah. Same as the Jaaaaag too. Not like their owners like to hear this. lol
Bloke at work bought an X-Type with a few toys, I said 'nice Mondeo'. He says you wish your Mondeo was as well specced as this.
I asked have you got DVD/headrest screens/heated and cooled seats/parking sensors/elec folding mirrors/Sony in-dash CD changer etc then?
Clamped. lol He is a ****er mind. :d

I laughed earlier on when I blocked the drivers side of this gimp in a Focus who had decided to abandon his vehicle with both O/S wheels on the white line in the laughably small parking bays at the doctors surgery.
Get in through the passenger side you cnut! lol

i dont go in for the whole hypnoses stuff, but he is one of the worlds greatest con artist and thats what i like, how he can manipulate people i think its great, the same as i dont believe in all that palm reading crap, but i do have a strange respect for the people that do it, the way they can have people lapping up there crap its brilliant
Sorry mate, I got distracted by a road sweeper outside.
As I was saying, I am not easily pleased.
Have fun!

Nova failed/passed its mot this morning (was going to fail on a split cv boot, till i pointed out that id bought one and brought it with me, so they fitted it and passed it) even told me that it would actually pass the emissions test for a catalyst aswell :d
Then went for a jolly to upullit in my van, and found the little trim pocket things that go on the sill trims, and a check strap for my van, first time ive driven it in ages as it was off the road, and had a passenger in the back too, crew seats ftw :thumb:
