I have 1998 mpi Paul Smith it's my first winter with her. Recently it's had a new fuel pump fitted. It's been generally struggling in the cold weather so I put a new battery and also changed the spark plugs and leads, topped up the antifreeze and oil and it seems to have got worse. It's now making a rattling whirring noise and it sounds like I'm in a washing machine on spin whenever I drive it. Also it's started stalling constantly and still struggles to start. Does anyone have any experience of this?

Had a look on the intake side? Could be something troubling getting air into the engine.
