. . . my spelling is crap i should some with a warning. . . .

then get a copy of word & spell check that. Like the rest of us do. . . So I've heard.


So it has a leak, of water or oil? Which is it? Water is generally clear & doesn't taste of much. Oil is neither & slippery, just in case that needed clarification. Treacle is sweet but caramel coloured.

What makes you say that? If you need help you have to be a bit more specific. Like is it still overheating, boiling over, gauge high?

F5 Dave might be close. Do you have a fuel filter in your petrol supply system? I had your symptoms which was caused by an in-line filter on my old BMW K100. What happened is that when the engine was switched off, crap inside my filter would sit in the outer part of the flter due to the effects of gravity. As soon as the engine ran with petrol flowing through the filter, the crap would slowly get stirred up and attach itself to the inner part of the filter, partially blocking the outlet and starving the motor. Could only run with modest throttle openings.

Best of luck in finding the problem.

He sez that fault is all fixed now.

My sister's car had a mystery fault similar to the starvation one that no one could fix. Turned out some delightful chap had siphoned petrol with a hose & dropped the hose in the tank so it would block the flow everyso often, usually if level was low.
