Problem fixed

charged the batter on tuesday night to take it round work in case it didnt start in the morning and work checked the timing that was ok then they let it run thill temp was in middle switched it off and it started. turns out the car was never overheating (not a good connection on the temp sensor in the head) workshop even drove it for miles in hot weather and they said its ok. So they going to check all the circuts for power drain.

lucky i didnt do head gasket and starter again. im happy as a pig in sh!t gonna do a complete strip and rebild after christmas good excuse for a 2.1 zvh turbo.
