I've not had chance to do any work on the landy, take one day off and end up with a mountain of parcels to shift lol. Anyway so far it's not broke down since sat. I've kept the revs under 3 thou at all times, but what I've also now noticed is water coming in a small trickle outta the exhaust . Is this normal? Xx

Oh and when I went under the bonnet earlier to check my water level I also notice the garage never put my heat shield back on the exhaust manifold when they replaced the manifold, is this a bad thing lol? An figuring it wouldn't have had one in the first place if it wasn't needed. Thank you all agai. For any advise

Ours used to do that turned out to be in tank fuel filter
Thank you to everyone for your help, the cars now got a new expansion tank fitted and a new petrol cap and I've not had a problem since. Don't know which was the fault lol, I had forgotten my petrol cap had fallen apart and wasn't sealing it properly when it was locked xx tho I'm going to get the car fully serviced Roland all the filters changed just to be sure there no blockage.

Hi, my 1.8 K series lost power a few weeks ago and I made a video of it just to highlight the symptoms, mine was a fuel pump failure that eventually resulted in a complete no start condition. It would crank over sometimes run for 1 second or 2 but immediately due thereafter.
