Right then guys, I told you it wouldn't be long before I was back.
Normally when I get in the car in the mornings it takes like a second for the car to start, you hear one or 2 chugs and then the engine runs.
Just over the least week or so I have had to wait for about 4 seconds before the engine runs. You know, it gets to the point where you think that it might not start at all..... The bit where you wonder if the neighbors are saying to each other "that car is taking a while to start"... .
After the car has been running for a bit it can either start again straight away or sometimes take just as long to start.
Ive just done oil filter, oil change, coolant change, air filter change and valve clearances. Im thinking that sods law dictates the the fuel pump is on its way out. The car has done 135k and from what i know it has never been changed before.
Any ideas?
