Well , it's all sorted and I'm happy again. Davieravie wins the prize, it was the fuel pump relay that had gone duff. Just replaced under the last 4 days of warranty. I'm now gonna try and wrap it up in a plastic bag or similar cos next time it will be at my expense.
Incidentally I decided to have the 2 year service done while it was there. £603 if any one can lend me any money to feed the wife and screaming brats now!!!!

Us ex aircraft techies electricians know a thing or 2 about wiggly amps. Glad you got it sorted. Not long till the spring.....have faith in the beast!

Prize in the post?

[audicdl]

Yeah, I'll sort of have to save up first though!!
Cheers
