Can anyone stop me from tearing my hair out! Don't know much about mechanics. have intermittent problem with my Talbot Express, which when under load, starts kangarooing, backfiring and eventually cuts out. my friendly mechanic(who knows I don't have loads of dosh) has changed HT leads. rotor arm, spark plugs, distributor cap, fuel pump and ignition coil. Has cleaned carburettor. Says he doesn't think it's muck in the fuel, as filter is clean, also says it doesn't have fuel return pipe(or something) which I have read other people have problems with. He says it should be process of elimination, but not much more to eliminate and is looking at prices for new distributor. Any ideas anyone? I keep thinking problem is solved and it starts again
