Fuel leak in the carb input line thingy.

Anyway, sounds like a fuel problem to me. Sounds like your flooding the thing, not enough air. Or something. Is it injection? Does it have an automatic choke that might be sticking? Does it have a carb thats got a sticking butterfly valve?

I once had the misfortune to have a car with a busted starter motor and the misfortune to be unable to afford a new one. So i got a replacement from a breakers yard.
And then another when that didnt work.
And then another.
When that didnt work I applied the science of violence and munted the fucker with an axe (the car bodywork that is). Made me feel so much better, but my mate nearly did himself an injury running away from the screaming psychotic axe-wielding monster.
In the end I used the axe on the starter motor and it fixed it. Sticking brushes I was told by a mechanic contemplating the destruction before him.

Fords = teh evil!!1!

why?

 

[Trem]

Never ever had any luck with Fords, I have had a Mark 2 Escort/Mark 3 Escort/Escort RS 2000(j reg)/Fiesta Turbo/Sierra estate /Escort RS Turbo, all of which have been a pile of shite. The Fiesta Turbo was scary quick though.

We deduce that you have a pink Astra and are therefor a bit of a sissy

 

[Me²]

Brand spanking new, back of the net!

Hub caps disguised as alloys... own goal

 

[legendario]

ladies car...another own goal

 

[S-Gray]

heh, my Dad rang a few Garages or somethin around today, to see if they could get hold of a Engine for my Car, think the Prices ranged from somethin like £80 - £120.

Maybe it will finally solve my problems...

 

[Trem]

Think again, there is no need for a new engine, does it grind? Does it thump? Does it chuck out loads of black smoke? Does it tap? If it doesn't do any of these thing just get it fixed you muppet, a new engine is a bit overkill on the repairage!!!

 

[PR.]

Good god, why would you pay £120 for a new engine to a car that only cost £500 ?!

 

[S-Gray]

Still early days yet, and yes...

The Car Engine rattles, it chucks out blue smoke, i have noticed tapping every now and then.

 

[Trem]

Hmmm blue smoke = fuel I think, white is condensation or fuel, black is oil and I'm quite sure blue is fuel as well.

 

[S-Gray]

Well it recently had a new Oil change / Oil Filter so there shouldnt be any problems with Oil...

Fuel im unsure about

 

[legendario]

FFS .... my service today cost £300
