Bloody unlucky mate have you been smashing mirrors or sumet
Because ivw not had one problem with mine

Real bummer mate, I feel sorry for you. Some T's have loads of trouble, others are ok.
If its causing too much grief get shot of it.

if it was mine it would be at the road side smouldering now

Just home after a two and a half hour wait for the recovery truck...Don't know what to do with it!!
Need to try and find out what's wrong. Anybody any ideas, getting a spark,power to the injectors but the plugs are dry after turning over,will it be ecu problems?

Sounds like a fuelling problem, is the fuel pump priming / working ?

windaelicker · Sep 3, 2012

Fuel pump is making all the right noises,injectors are getting power too...must be electrical somewhere...just died no cough or splutter.There was fuel in the hose after the tank coupling but with that fitting on i couldn't check if it was pumping through ok..Had the bloody thing about in bits at the side of the road.
On a positive note it was nice being asked by a lot of people if i was ok and needed any help or a lift anywhere.

Fuel pump was the cause even though it was making the right noises...Took the chance to fix the bodged wiring under the tank whilst it was off.
Not been further than 2 miles from the house just in case!!!
