So I got sent to McUpchucks to get her a McChicken Slimewitch and a couple of shakes,
On the way and the way back I put my foot down and it wouldnt rev up, sort of hesitated as if somthing was lacking then it went fine,
It did it from the lights a couple of times.

I have recently replaced , Plugs, leads, dizzy and arm as well as used injector cleaner to get low emmisions for the MOT

I have a feeling that the injector cleaner has losened some crud from the fuel filter and that is coming through causing the hesitaion.

Any other Thoughts on what this is please?

Fantastic, Thanks.
I knew it would be hiding somwhere.

I just did it, not a difficult job just annoying as I had the car jacked up onto blocks and it started pissing down and I got soaked.

Tools needed
10 mm socket to remove the 3 nuts that hold the panel in place.
17 mm, 19mm spanner to remove the nuts from each end of the filter, dont lose the washer,
+ screwdriver to losen the bracket holding the filter in place
Remember that petrol will dribble out so have a handy container ready, I used a empty 4 pint Milk carton with the side cut out, its not much about 1/2 a cup

Difficulty 2/5
Time 1/2 hour
Crap in eyes 5/5
Stinking of petrol and geting told off by ones Wife/Girlfreind/mother 5/5
