Carb freeze ?
Get the car up to temp before using it would help , a wise man told me putting cardboard infront of the intercooler to keep the cold air off help too
i dont know to be totally honest
my cars in the garage and its coming bak soon
its totally freezing up here and was told i myt have problems as iits an old car
???
do you mean starting the engine from cold?
Full choke and a couple of stamps on the throttle before turning the key always works for me
a new set of plugs, leads and dizzy cap will help if it's a starting issue, at least that way you kno you've got a good spark
cheers lads
well i just replaced the plugs/dizzy and leads so it should be ok
cheers
A well mainteined / looked after 5 will have no problems in any weather ( Well maybe carb freeze if youve got a big I/C !).......i do 40 + miles to work a day in mine, as do afew other member i know...the worst bit is the car getting caked in ****e !!

same here ive just been out in mine.when i comes to the winter the starting can become a issus but round about the 2nd or 3rd time it will start.in the summer its fine.just let your car warm up for a bit nothing worse than driving a cold engine and sometimes juddering everywhere
I'm having similar issues when trying to start my R5.
It can take upto 5 mins to start. Also, when I've pumped petrol into a container to confirm that the pump was working, the petrol went cloudy after a couple of mins.
Apart from the cardboard trick, does anyone have any ideas on how I can resolve this cold starting issue?
