Hi Chaps.
I've just completed a 670 mile round trip to pick up a mates TVR with a trailer. While the old girl performed admirably for the most part she really struggled with the longer motorway hills.
At one point I was running on the hard shoulder in 3rd at 25mph on the M2 which was scary to say the least.
I could feel a very slight hesitation when she was under load but she goes like a little rocket normally ie. without the trailer.
On Monday I'll talk to a local Bosch service centre about the injectors. And I'm trying to find a new boost diaphram (anyone know the part number?) so we can strip the pump and replace it as a matter of course.
And I'll replace the fuel filter today.
She has a K&N air filter.
I don't think there is an immediate problem as such. She did the 180 mile run from Gt. Yarmouth to Nottingham at a steady 55mph without hiccup.
But as she is 25yrs old and I've had her for 16 of those years and never touched the fuel side I wondered if I could do anything just refresh things that might be a bit tired now.
Thanks chaps.
