Got it wrong car had done 73 or 76 thousand miles
Shame really as like u said low mileage was very gutted noone could find the problem
Where you based? How many bits is it in?
I bet you anything it was dodgy wires to the stop solenoid. Mechanics generally know shit-all about idi engines cause "it doesnt have a plug to read the fault codes". Seems you need a degree in electrical engineering and no practical knowledge these days....
That or the timing's way out, but I've had the camplate in the pump 180degrees out before and it still ran when we turned up the fuel enough!!
Only other thing it could be is air in the fuel lines. which is more than likely a perished priming bulb. Either way all of the above are ridiculously easy fixes, and imo it'd be rude not to!!
Also, the car can almost be in its constituent parts and you can still have it back together in a couple of days if you put your mind to it!
