Re: 2.8 cutting out on idle

No he was saying it was not the idle screw/valve. The person I spoke to was Phil at capri care in mk but he wldnt b able to act as a mobile mechanic ie wld have to take car to his garage. He said to wait til engine was got n then adjust it.

Re: My Old 280

I had this car briefly in 2008 with 54,000 miles on it before getting my 10,000 miler, both from Dr B. I wonder how much a 10,000 miler from Dr B would be these days? Andrew.
