Check the radiator before driving/running the car. I have broken 2 Autogearboxes because the radiator leaked water to the gearbox cooling side and mixed with oil. Hard lessons.. Now running a external cooler for trans. :)

That looked stunning fair play going down the road and coming back🤩🤩 and its a Ghia X executive !!! Sounded brill.... the running issues will be fuel pressure not right.....id check the delivery pressure from the pump to engine bay....from memory its about 6 bar... (90 psi)... accumulator might to be holding the pressure steady...and lastly...if all that checks out.. the metering head may need a refurb... the lifting pin in the distributor head might be seized.

Great work once again, as it’s cutting out when you put it in gear, I would check the vacuum from the inlet manifold to the gearbox. As it’s an auto, do not rev it above 3000rpm when stationary, doesn’t do the clutches any good. Next video, can you align the spotlights pretty please, 😀😀😀😀👍👍👍 When it’s up and running, you’ll really enjoy the Granada, such a comfortable and luxurious car, goes really well too! Should have never sold mine…😔😔

Nice Executive. Being injection, and with trip computer, the sender is quite special. It actually just has the float and a load of wiring on it. I have a feeling there is no actual fuel outlet connection to it (its crimped and brazed closed) , as that is instead out the bottom of the tank direct to the fuel filter and pump.
