  • Just Wondering...

    Hey guys

    To be honest I don't think there's a NEED for this post, but it's always better to be safe than sorry

    While I haven't had a licence, I've still done my car the justice of starting it up a few times in the week. I'll usually start it up about twice a week; sometimes I've noticed that it takes a bit of effort to start, like the car really doesn't want to; it will gradually splutter to a start, and it feels quite lumpy before it warms up.

    I've disregarded this because I'm just not starting it very often, and because I think my fuel filter/timing chain replacement will improve it. So, I'm just wondering if there's anything I'm overlooking by not worrying about it? My stepdad has said he was a bit worried, but I have just used the excuse of fuel/timing and the fact that the car isn't all that new either.

    Thanks guys
