Hi Brian,
Thanks for the help and guidance.

My Husband has looked at the car for me today and he has checked the carb jets (2 were loose). He did notice that there was not a lot of petrol in the float chamber so reset the float.

He checked the plugs.

Some people have told me that it is fuel pump trouble but the filter is clear and clean and petrol is spurting out.

Yes it is a Renault 1.4 engine so it rather looks like this could be my problem.

I must admit that the car is old but i have really not had any trouble until now.

So rather looks like i will have to start saving my pennies for a new carb!!!!

Cheers

Sandie
