still seems strange to have ruby sized space in garage and hope all going well for you with Ruby- all the best Paul

We are undecided on whether the time has come to sell our Midas Mk3 coupe "Ruby".

We bought her in may 2010 from a well known midas enthusiast who had completed a full rebuild including:-

Complete body strip - spray in 2 pack and rebuild.
Interior retrim and full carpet
Subframes blasted and ...

thanks everyone for your guidance so far - technical people at pump suppliers have also suggested that pump struggles to lift fuel and then runs hot - Hans thanks for piccie I am going to order an uprated pump and mount it lower so less lift of fuel required

facet type pump eventually fitted but yesterday same old problem - very hot day - drove c 30 miles without issue but then after a minute or two of slow stop start running - engine when pulling away stuttered and died - luckily it was within yards of our destination so left car to cool and then later ...

sons fiesta has an electrical issue and intermittent electrical glitch on Ruby (our gold coupe) - anyone recommend an auto electrician in west sussex please - ideally a mobile one as saves taking both cars to them - thanks

confession - still not got round to fitting electric pump - one day soon then hopefully intermittent issue will become none issue !!

Hans,

thankyou - ordered

Paul

have ordered electric pump - anyone know if necessary to remove mechanical fuel pump and if yes what do you use to blank over the hole?
was wondering if once electric pump in and fuel lines no longer connected to mechanical pump if any point in removing it ?
thanks all

thanks all - am going to have a good look at either fitting ducted hose as hans and/or facet pump

heat wrap fitted but at weekend (and wow was it hot!) Jon experienced for first time the power fade - will get module first and if that doesn't solve it might tray Hans solution with air duct - Hans do you by any chance please have any photos of your ducting ?

thanks all

alternatively wait for ...
