    Default VR Statesman trouble running

    Hi. I have a 94 VR Statesman. Was running fine until a few days ago, then it started to chug a lot whilst driving, like it was having trouble getting fuel. It still starts every time, but when you put your foot on accelerator, just chugs a few times and eventually stalls. There is a high pitched whistling sound coming from car ( I'm guessing fuel pump ). Do you guys think if I replaced fuel pump / filter that would solve problem ?

    No, thats a check brake light. Must likely you just need to top up the brake fluid. And from the sounds of things you might need a fump pump
