Hi guys ,
Iv recently brought a r5 gt turbo which I’m totally in love with , the guy I brought it off has done extensive work on the car ( engine rebuild)
I was told that it had an issue with cold starts and it does , once the car starts it drive lovely, I drove it 200 miles home after purchasing it without an issue but when parked up overnight it won’t start even with the chock on , I have to put some fuel in the lobster manifold then she starts up , the tick over is abit high on idle aswel . The guy I brought it off said he thought the carb needed a rebuild most likely. Any help would be great guys . I would love to find some one who has the skills to sort the problem out and also do other repairs . I live in Wolverhampton area and I hope there’s help on this forum, thank you

If its a carb rebuild you need I would not hesitate to recommend Mark Branston , He’s just done mine and has done a first class job , He’s in Birmingham so not far from you , hope this helps 👍
 
Hi guys , I’d just like to say thank you for all the help with my carb refurb , I got in touch with mark (sparkie ) and he was extremely helpful, he came to my house and took my carb off my car / refurbed it and refitted it . He also spent time diagnosing a no start issue which turned out to be a broken fuel pump relay . This guy is really the best and so so helpful. He is priceless to me and I’m definitely going to seek his help again . Keep up the great work mark , thank you
