Extremely kind - thanks. I will see if I can locate said fuel rail. Stoke Fleming eh ? Had an unfortunate incident just outside the village many years ago my MG Midget and I met an Austin 1800 pulling out of the lane that goes down to D’mouth Castle. As a young Midshipman at the college I was suddenly the proud owner of a very “written-off” MG and yet Her Majesty’s Navy saw fit to suspect me of a ”irresponsible driving” until the owner of the 1800 admitted to that he had pulled out in front of me !
Ah, the old "The Midshipman is guilty until proven innocent" issue. Also applies to junior managers in commerce and technology and to many others no doubt.
Good luck with the car problem.
Have you checked the immobiliser is working as it should? Sorry don't know the details on a 2002 car.
