Thanks will check that again. As for the fuel I always keep it full.

Thanks.As stated its a diesel. The problem arises whilst going uphill under acceleration.

The filter was a bit dirty as was the lift pump glass bowl which I cleaned as well. What is confusing me is that if left idle on an uphill she's fine. Its only when I accelerate to go uphill this is happening. Than I get it to flat ground and it starts again as if nothing is wrong.

Thanks Turboman. Its a diesel

Hi all. Allow me to introduce myself. I am the proud owner of a 1978 series 3. I acquired the vehicle three years ago in its original state. Apart from a re spray the vehicle is still original as it left the factory. I mainly use it during the weekend for picnics and never for off road use...
