Car started the old problem again , like failing to start each time it had been stopped  I nearly blew a blood vessel and was thinking of getting out the car and thrashing it with a big stick in anger  ...not getting mellow in my old age  To think i had just treated it to £10 of petrol as well , lucky had my sunglasses on to hide the shame of turning the key with no results 

I want my Mig back

Sorry to hear that, Mr EMD. Life's a bitch then you die. 

I would consider another Omega if I were you. With the free help you can source  here at OOF, running costs can be kept reasonably low.

Although not a proper Omega, the anaemic four pot 2.2 may be the most cost effective.

Thing is im not that good at diagnosing electrical components so im peeing in the wind so to speak 

Your right Mr Optic i think it would be better to get another mig , at least thats what i keep telling myself

sounds like vapour lock to me mate or fuel filter on way out

[symes]

of course you could always have the totally unreliable 2.6-with its Dont Bloomin Work throttle and gay coil packs and dearer than 2.5 as you cannot do paperclip test

[TheBoy]

Silly me, saw the title, and thought you meant OOF 

[symes]

Hey The Boy how come you changed to your proper name? much better mate

[ozonekiller]

Hey there. Sorry for butting in, but there's a different test you can do which involves only the ignition key and the brake peddle, so it's easier and cheaper too 'cos you don't have to ransack the house for that elusive paperclip. I think it's called the peddle test, but you know forums..Anyhow, I believe the info is on here somewhere.

Sooner have them any day mate ... never played up at yesterday but then it just wont start at all on other's  If it wasnt for the starting issues i would keep it but its so frustrating when you go out somewhere and then you get stuck  Ive changed the fuel filter last month and its still doing it ... the steppa motor i think is the problem but there's is no way i can check it , dont want to replace that if its not the problem then replace parts willy nilly
