Chris Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 The cutting out sounds to me like your fuel pump relay or pump is playing up(relay is the pink/purple one under the dash drivers side).. It may be over heating and shorting out. Can you here the pump prime (buzz when you turn the ignition?) By fitting do you mean its reluctant to go into gear or to stay in gear?.. this could be down to a few things but id start by checking the cluth cable.. need more info Roof wise you can adjust the windows on there regulator to get them to track up to diffrent hight but other wise its a pretty common cab folly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 fuel pump is indeed just up behind the rear wheel arch.. just check it for a good constant 12volts when its running Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
