Hmmmm well its pretty much mine its just a daily driver for me anyway.
Even if I run it for a year and c how it goes.
What's the problem with it being an auto, or is it just better to have a manual coz its a manual?

Buying a manual is far better than buying an auto and converting. If you like the auto I would keep it as it is, unless you want to go mad and rip the whole car apart - which I do and several here are already doing lol.
Anyway, piccys or it didn't happen.

are you sure its the fuel pump??? i would expect it to have more probs if it was that.

personally id look more to the fuel pressure reg, i think most of us on here have had to change one sometime or another.

if the fuel pump was sticking, id expect idle to be ok, and driving to be an issue??

Well im only going on what ive been told by this guy am buying it from.

This is roughly whats happening with it.

You start it it and it catches but it idles rough so it just kind of bubbles the revs sort of like how a subaru impreza sounds ..bah bah bah bah (black sheep) not a smooth idle like you would expect from a verticle piston engine.
As you squeeze the accelarator it struggles to get through the revs.

But if you lift the fuel pump cover and hit the top of the pump it'll idle fine.

Any ideas?

Its sitting in the yard at work at the moment (no tax) so im gonna borrow the works trade plates to get home and try and fix it at the weekend.

The guys givin me the workshop manual for it so that should help me along the way
