Jk* 0 Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 Well, this evening when i left work at 5.15 my VR wouldnt stay alive for more than 10 seconds. Initially i thought, ah just hasnt been run for 8 hours. So started it up again, and it did the same! Remembering that i had a new breather pipe fitted on Sat i thought that could be the problem, then i noticed the breather pipe i bodged on sat was split, so after about an hour i did a DIY job which i thought was excellent, almost a professional bodge. Unfortunately this did not solve the problem, and i had to phone the AA. Well, 2 hours later they turned up, and said that it could be that or the fuel pump. To say that im fed up is an understatement, now i need the inlet removing and the rocker cover, plus ive left the VR in the Ghetto so god knows what i shall go back to tomorrow!!! :( Link to post Share on other sites
