Typical, car has worked fine for the last 2-3 weeks no issues. Have kept tank with over half. Put £30 (25ltrs ish) this morning and the tank nearly full. Did about 40 miles and then all of a sudden loss of power will not rev over 2k in idle just chugs along even with foot hard to floor.
After about few hundred yards pulled over opened bonnet and checked throttle cable pull. Sounds like it seems to rev OK but not being able to see rev counter properly not able to say. Ticks over with not issues. Stopped engine and checked the hand pump and it was 'soft' gave it a few pumps until it hardened up a bit.

Started car again left it for a minute and tried to drive along road still no power. pulled over to let cars past and then tried again and all was well again. After another 20miles it then started, as best I can say, 'surge' and then stop. Kept throttle position in the same place but felt like it had power then ran lumpy and then OK again.
Difficult to fix as not near home, commuting car, and do not trust garages that much.
Begining to wonder if a fuel line issue? I assume manual fuel pump before injectors. Hoping not injector fuel pump not issue got told its arounf £400+vat to fit
.
Any other thoughts?
