Well I'm phoning up the tyre garage tommorow thats for sure.
New pair of Falklens on the front today - great stuff - out with the misshaped tyre, more grip, good stuff - light at the end of the tunnel?
Pffff....your kidding.
After the garage finished I backed it out of the bay onto the single road with the mekki behind to guide me out. Stall 1 - thought nothing of it, I wasn't exactly reving enough for the reverse to drive properly - started up again and hey presto we're off up the hight street and back to work. Stall 2 - this time I thought it must be the wet so out came the choke to get some bumph into the engine. Out of work, and Stall 3 - this is getting rediculous. A further 5 stalls on the way home with slowing traffic, traffic lights and not using the accelerator.
So im at home thank god, after using far to much fuel keeping the engine in high rev. From what I could muster, these are the features of my current serious problem:
- Stalls under 30MPH if theres no acceleration.
- 2nd and first gear need choke.
- When not using accel. pedal, engine can be felt "stuttering" sort of pulling and pushing the car in short sharp bursts. This isnt a pump failure as such- I have had that before the engine simply wont budge.
- When stalling, used the chocke to push the engine to catch - when it does, just the slightest choke (1/4" out) gives a very high rev - almost like theres excess fuel in the system.
- Spots will go out when stalling regardless of light system being on, then come back on when car begins to move again.
- From standing to moving, or any gear change for that matter, clutch seems slower to catch than normal.
Any help would be great folks, and quick!

I doubt the tyre change has caused these symptoms, I suspect it is coincidental more than anything.
It sounds like your car needs a tune up, what general condition is it in under the bonnet?
Like Dave has said ^^^^^, it is 'possible' that the battery lead has been caught with a jack and is now shorting under the car, check that. Check that it hasn't had a fuel pipe crushed too (I guess that's possible, if some one was really careless with a jack)

I intend to change them over tommorow - could it simply be all the wet weather?
MiniMadMe - heh coincidental is a word George uses a lot - fix one thing, the next thing goes - its like he's playing games with me!

Changed them over at lunchtime today what a result! Sounded more like a sewing machine than a dying animal
One lead in-particular - think it was the coil to dissy lead was severely corroded and absolutely drowned in grease and muck no wonder George was having trouble!
