  1. It is possible that it is just c**p from the bottom of the tank and a good clean through would have sorted it,wish id done that first...you might do well to just run her n see if she does it again...just maje sure you got AA cover...
  2. ...not until you left stranded and its proper busted!!!
  3. You mean like check engine lights?? Naa nothing,both times nothing thats what makes it even worse me n my mate worked for suzuki and he said its common some things wont throw a light or show on a diag coz its intermittent....
  4. Just checked it out n il be there,good luck wit B'ham,mine went to Manchester n back with no probs...thats the thing when its intermittent...you can go ages with nothing then it gets you when you least expect it....tempremental beast!! Let me know how it goes.
  5. Mate i was the same...it eats away at you wondering when its gonna happen again... Yeah its in the tank the fuel pump is behind the passenger seat underneath of the "glove box You have to remove the interior plastics back there to get to it. Im in sidcup,meet up if you want?
  6. I just put a oem off ebay on,flush with wynns first,left if for a week the thought sod it n just changed it over...easy job. Mad thing is she was sweet for 2 months b4 she did it the second time but id rather know the pumps good than take a chance n be left at the side of the A20 again!! If it does happen again least ive cleaned the injectors and changed the pump so it wont be those....fingers crossed. you in kent then?? Where??
  7. It will do it again then it will leave you stranded!!!...FUEL PUMP!!! About 2 months ago mine did that..left ne at the side of the road,after the AA took me home i sat in the car and thought il just try it and she fired into life..went to Abbey,no codes no explanation...she was fine for ages drove from kent to manchester used her everday not a blip then last week she did it again in the morning just leavin the sevices accelerating into 3rd she died...sat on the hard shoulder thinkin il just give her a minute and bang shed fired up...75 miles later and a visit to my mothers in bucks no probs...came out to go home turned the key and she was spluttering away barely running..brink of stalling!! She did this 3 or 4 times then the next turn of the key she was fine..running sweet...75miles home and not a blip,spoke to my mate been a mechanic for years n works for suzuki now told him what happened his words were "you lucky ***tard dont mess about change you fuel pump,next time you wont get home"

  13. Went to abbey today,big shout to scott and the boys they checked for codes cleaned up ground points she got a clean bill of health....60miles of stop start n motorway and shes been fine...Weird!!?? Ohhh and i love my milltek!!!!
  14. 'Check engine light' got it,nope no lights no codes she just fired then died with a splutter it wasnt till about an hour and half later when she was back at home that she started....i distictly remember that the pump wasnt priming for the first couple of key turns then it did and she started.
  15. Yeah thanks for that alex,any advise greatly recieved.
  16. Ok so i go and have a lovely full milltek system fitted at 9am yesterday...a blast through the countryside to my area quick stop then a blast home stop for an hour then a blast for lunch...so gettin on for 2pm and into another £20 of fuel (theres more than just 20 in there but i just topped up) and after the last stop of the day as im powering up the a20 she just cuts out...no power...im hitting the throttle and nothing...revs are going down...shes slowing and theres nothing i can do,so i give her 5 mins and try turning her over...fires up,one rev and dies with a splutter...waited tried again and the same i try agin over the next 20mins to no avail.So after the Aa turn up and i have to watch her dragged on to the back of the truck we go to my mates garage where he kindly says "sorry mate no room at the inn" So i end up havin it taen to mine where the guy very kindly helps me manover her to what i think is her final resting place,i say thanks,we shake hands and he goes,so im sitting in the drivers seat thinking how the dream has turned to a nightmare and give it a turn of the key...not a sound,my foots not on the clutch so i wasnt expecting anything but something is different,i turn the key again and silence...i give it another turn and there is that sound...the engine priming!!! I hit the clutch and she fires...purring like a kitten,joy ensues i go for a drive and shes fine...has been all day today. So my question is this ...WHAT THE HELL MAN????
