catflap Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 Sorry for all the newbi questions, but im simply over the moon with my car, and want it to stay that way I have just come in form a lovely back lane drive/flight and on the way home allowing the car to cool down i put my hand on the tunnel and noticed it was quite hot, is this normal? My drive is noisy as heck and i am paranoid its on its way out, a few of you have told me its normal for them to be noisy, but have not compared it to another’s car. Problem no 2 J Before the drive I washed the car, to get all the squished flys off ewwww!!!, and 10 min after driving I gave it some welly on a open road, the car stuttered and coffed for a few seconds and then launched in its usual way. Petrol was full (optimax), pulled over and air filter was dry (thought I had let water drip into carbs)!!!!! Any suggestions?

stu999 Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 Catflap, dont worry about the tunnel thing. Especially noticable with bare ali panels. As for the stutter, I reckon like you say probably a bit of water somewhere. If it hasnt done it since theres a good chance thats all it was.

Blatman Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 If it wasn't water/dampness in the carbs, then it'll be the fuel filter needs changing. Is it a BEC? As Stu says, hot tunnel is nothing new. Coming back from Le Mans in both 2000, and this year, the tunnel on both my cars (I took a different Westfield each year) was almost too hot to touch........
