Check for air leaks around the carb, adjust mixture and check pipe for any blockages which may have got in during changing.

Registering the car as SORN is pathetic mate. It will take you a day at the most to get it sorted! :tongue:
Im not sure how much fuel line you need, Wheather its right from the petrol tank or not.
But get yourself on
www.minispares.com
www.minisport.com
Or any other mini website.
Get yourself a new fuel line. It will be delivered within a day or 2.
Spend a day fitting it properly.
And while your at it. Why not buy yourself a Haynes manual and learn the basics of a car!

Maybe nothing but all of the above could well mean that it's shorting out against the body/exhaust and would cause all of the symptoms you are describing...

i will definatly have to try that. i'll take my car to college one day and use the life of just jack it up when the wethers a bit nicer. because it bloody freezing today. althought the car started. i used one of those battire things. er...don't know what thier called but you use then to jump start. ran fine. ahtlough it did die once when i took off the handbreak which makes no sence what-so-everThis may seem off the wall, but check your battery cable from the battery to the front of the car, especially the point where it goes past the exhaust at the back of the front subframe...
