I've just completed a 2 year mechanical restoration on my Coupé, was doing the finishing touches getting it ready for it's mot next week... and the swine's just decided to stop running. Injector light is on, idles almost perfectly but if you blip the throttle it cuts out. Raise the revs very slowly, it gets to 2k rpm and cuts out. Then to top that off, the flippin' water rail to turbo coolant hose just split. frown

I'm off to sit in a dark corner and cry.

Keep your chin up! It'll be an easy fix and a hose is just a hose!

Check the hose to the fuel pressure regulator.

Thanks chaps, not to worry, I'll be fixing it on Sunday.
Just fed up fighting the swine.
Thanks for the tip, Neil. I'll check that first.

That's a monumental effort, and it sounds like the final hurdle! Get plenty of photos up when you're all done!
