yeti 0 Posted January 9, 2009 HELP!!! I have the C booked in for an mot tomorrow morning and after finishing odd all the repairs needed after it had been standing unstarted for 5 months i started her, let her warm up for 15mins until the water temp was 80 and the oil was the same, took her for a drive to check she ran well. Fantastic for 5mins, took her up to 90ish and back down, not a problem. Then it started running funny and as i got to my drive she died... any ideas? any help would be massively appreciated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yeti 0 Posted January 10, 2009 Thanks for all your ideas gents - in the end it was just the dashboard fuse needed replacing then cured the funny idle and lumpy running, its now mot'd and back on the road... :clap: Mods Please Lock Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
