Ok, sorry my mistake, I thought there was fuel in the bowl but there wasn't. I have just put on a new fuel pump that i had knocking about, still no fuel. There is 100% fuel in tank. Any ideas please guys?

Gauze filter is spotless, cleaned up but still no joy

Marked in yellow is what I removed and cleaned

Good morning Please can anyone advise. I have a 1982 2lt manual mk5 estate, at the end of the summer she started to play up. Now she will only start with juice poured into the webber carb and then only runs for 2 to 4 seconds. It has a new fuel pump and the fuel is getting to the card. I have just taken out and clean the two side jets and no difference. Please can one of you lovely people shed any light on this problem. Cheers

Woo, amazing. I will need to look in the morning but I whole bonnet, I think it's about 12 or 15 little push in clips.

That's so helpful John, a nice job for next weekend. cheers

Hi all Any one know of a new (or in very good nick) bonnet for a 1982 mk5?

I'm def going start posting pics of the old girl on the owners car forum, Martin who rebuilt her I know had pages of pictures of her on this site but I'm buggered if I can find em. Thanks for the wise words guys about keeping her, I guess once she's gone she's gone.

That would be awesome. Please email me when you know. joe@bost.org.uk

Thank you guys, sat down with Wife last night and come to the conclusion that she is now one of the family and isn't going anywhere. I would never forgive myself nor would the kids. Guess I will just be doing alot of over time for the next 7 years.

DTM470Y Hi All With my family growing even bigger and our wonderful mayor hating cars more and more, the very sad idea of letting my beautiful Tina go to another good home has started to seem a possibility. The older members will remember that my Tina was a floor to roof rebuild that took 8 years by Martina the Club Vice president. It was the best rebuild I or most club members had ever seen and I was lucky enough to by her from Martins brother after Martins sad death after a very short illness (he is greatly missed by us Tina lovers) She is as stunning as the day she rolled onto the forecourt, apart from I have had two upgrades made since holding the keys, She now has Power Steering and a nice 5 speed ford box. I know she is priceless to many who watched the magic Martin worked but money is a horrible thing to talk about but as I know have 3 lots of school fees to cover I thought it would be best to ask you guys just what would be a good price if i did put her on the market?
