    Reason i say fuel filter. Occasionally my car would start then die, start it again no problem. Then the other day crank nothing, crank nothing after about 6 times all the other warning lights came on. Had less than 10L of fuel, i put 20L in so now had roughly 30(see i can add up).
    Anyway this time it was cranking better, longer but still not turning over. Changed fuel filter and she started perfect. The little bit of fuel in the filter was literally like mud.

    thats allright, my car was started to gradually idle rougher, pulled the filter out and water was in it, new filter, good for a week, started getting worse, but now its getting better again, so im guessing it was just getting flushed through the lines lol

    Funny you say that andyman, That night after i changed it i was getting flat spot on take off and little bit rough idle now better. Im tempted to run this filter for say 2 to3 thousand kms, then change it. Pays to fill up before it gets to the redline.
