Well, second time in my ownership on a lowloader..
Not bad at all in eight years of ownership !!
And in all honesty, my car is super reliable.
Anyhoo, started to splutter on the M25....figured out of fuel and managed to get to a station.
Fill up.....but no startee.
Let her cool, pulled fuel line away from regulator, put it into an empty bottle and cranked..........no fuel coming up.
trailered back home and suspect fuel pump problem. (probably the original)
Any ideas fedders ?

There is a red pektron steering relay that controls the pump, although these rarely fail...I would systematically pull each relay and give it a light clean with some 1500 grit or a finger nail board and replace ...When the car is running lay next to it and just move the wires going to the pump as I have had these work loose due to them being spade connections instead of eyelets bolted on....
It might also be worth changing the post fuel filter while you are at it...

Thanks fedders, got her up at the back......ran her and jiggled wires to no effect.
Darkness fell, so next weekend for some testing.
Neil, terrific to meet you too.
Nice to know you are local and soon as I get back in shape will contact you for a meet up with me and Dave (chimp on gas )
Happy to meet up with the club boys too so will keep an eye out.
Mange tout fellas

got a pre filter guys thanks.
Rudimentary question:
If i disconnect the pipe (from below) which enters the pressure regulator. Upon cranking, i should get a stream of fuel....right ?
Not the pipe which connects regulator to Plenum, nor the breather tube.
I get fuel coming out of the regulator......backfeed ?
Perhaps that's the way the flow runs.........fuel "supply" comes in on the other side.( i mean otherside of the plenum.....passenger side)

Hi all,
get one of these, they will clean dirty/corroded contacts, pins, connector and pcb edges etc.
Dont use above you as the fibres are fine glass but really effective. Should be an essential in a TVR tool kit.
