Hi All,
just started recently. When cold my car starts fine and revs fine but when you try to take off it almost cuts out. After a minute or two it's warmed up and runs fine. Anyone else see this issue? Is it a sign of a bigger problem? I checked the oil and topped it up but it's still here.

Fueling problem perhaps, air fuel ratios or filters (not great w/injectors, more of a carb man)

A quick diagnostic session will find it , possibly a sensor OR high pressure fuel pump , we have fitted a few recently .
give me a call and we can discuss .

Was planning on giving you a call next week. Think I might need another de-coking treatment too, the amount of oil it's burning is on the rise again. That and new tyres!

I thought may need another treatment alright , it was one of the worst we have come across , might be related to the 'new' problem . give me a call and we will sort something .

Just got a call from Keary's saying they think i need my brake fluid replaced...
By god did they get an earful off me... from the coking problem to timing chain to the failure of ABS on my bike with only 30k km's! I had to apologise to the poor girl they asked to call me after i'd finished my rant!
