stu1966 Member 4 Member For: 15y 1m 8d Posted 19/10/09 05:05 AM Author Share Posted 19/10/09 05:05 AM No modifications to car at all.I have had the car since brand new.Ford Dealers said it was spark plugs.Been replaced and no change.Then they said it may be the fuel pump or relays.They swapped the fuel pump relay and said they cleaned the fuel lines...fault still there.The problem is getting worse and today it took over 5 hours of trying to start the car before it finally did start.

Ford Service may be ummm missing something (trying not to slander). HPF and Nizpro I think generally have a good standing amongst forum members here. Alot of members take their cars there for servicing because they know what they are doing and see XR6Ts day in day out.Let us know where you are and some other forum members might be able to suggest other similar places.
