  1. Hello Paul, Thank you very much for your detailed reply. A step by step guide is just what someone like me needs. I was speaking to a mechanic yesterday and one of the first things he said was fuel pressure. What is needed now is another very hot day as it is more likely to fail then. I’ll post again with news about progress. Nicholas - Ghia man.
  2. Thank you very much. I’ll get that checked. I think that I read somewhere in the club site about earth faults so your suggestion adds to the possibility of electrical problems. I originally wondered if it might be fuel related - vaporisation or something similar that used to happen with old cars with carburettors. If it is a wiring fault that will hopefully be easy to find. I’ll let you know. Thanks, Nicholas.
  3. Can a knowledgable person help with this one? My 1997 mk 6 1.8 ghia cab does not want to restart in this hot weather. It starts first time from cold but will only fire and then cut out straightaway if the engine is hot and the air temp 75+ degrees(about 24degrees celcius). It did this last year in a hot spell. When the key is turned to position 2 the lights on the instrument panel come on but I do not hear the momentary whirring and click that you get when cold. So, is it a relay and if so which one. I recall thAt I had this years ago on a Rober 216 but cannot remember how we fixed it. Any help would be much appreciated as I am worried about the car packing up somewhere such as a junction. Thanks, Ghiaman.
  4. The pictures from Sunday are in Community, gallery, shows, club shows 2016 ( it would not let me add anything for 2017) - Simply Ford. Depending on what headers you see, the date may state May 1st for the show, I do not know what happened there. Maybe my fingers slipped. I really enjoyed the day, although it was rather wet from about 1 p.m. Let me know about the photos - good or bad. If I can find any other pics of cabs from other shows etc, I'll see about uploading those in my gallery.
  5. I have pictures from the day. 114Mb. How do I upload this much data, please? I am Nicholas who was there with the P registered Ghia parked at the end of the row.
