Background, this s a car I've had for about 5 years and early one with the pop up headlights. It gets started about every 2 -3 months until a couple of years ago when it refused to start. Eze Start (or the Oz version "Start ya bastard" worked and it would briefly run - so a fuel problem.)
To date, well, I think I know the problem and it was the in-tank low pressure fuel pump (having gone through everything else including the immobiliser first!) but the last two (secondhand pumps) will start the car, then when I try a couple of months later, they appear to have siezed up (they are immersed in the petrol).
It now hasn't been looked at for about 12 months and I'm about to have another go. So, have I just been unlucky with the last two replacement pumps? (I'd rather not buy new and I'm not even sure they are available!)
Cheers
Peter
