Hey Mark,
How did you get on with that fuel pump issue buddy??

[RSmark]

still not sorted, might have to leave it for a while. no power to the pump.

Looks sweet mate, takes me back, I had 3 of these damn things lol.

First was a 90 spec, and it broke everytime I drove it, 2nd was an 88 spec, and other than gearbox going a few days after getting it, it was pretty reliable.

My last was an 86 S2 non custom (no sunroof, no electric windows, no central locking and the best bit, no recaro's).

However it had 1.9 conversion and was leathal but fun to drive.

I eventually fitted 90 spec front bumper, spoiler, Recaro's, and wired up central locking and electric windows.

Oh and the repairs on it, £29 for a new water return pipe from the turbo, that was all that ever broke on it lol.

if its not got no power to the pump it will be the purple relay under dash common for going down... try replacing this or bridge the relay

 

[RSmark]

ive changed that last monday, nothing changed. was the first thing i thought off.

someone has said i should wack the pump with the butt of the screwdriver to unsezie it.

 

[quakes]

well the famous sayin goes if in dowt give it a clout

quality mate ! i do like a white series 2, reckon you should leave the side mouldings off though

a rare d plate too

 

[RSmark]

Sorry post wasn't that clear, in the front bumper ive got on, its been smoothed, but the standard one has the black moulding, which i want back, not having the side moulds, that only looks good on the 3DR Sierra Cosworth.

sweet car mate what bhp is it running roughly? just out of curiosity

ah yes, i see now. yes your right mark the smothed bumper needs to go and the black moulding needs to return.

reminds me of my black s2 i had many years ago, kin rust bucket :sad:

 

[Wayne'o]

Its running 190BHP, that was before the front mount intercooler was fitted,so dropped a few ponies since then, will need re-seting up to make the most of the intercooler.
