CHEERS FOR THAT
RAC Richard stuck new leads and coil and no joy he also took plugs out and said they looked fine / a good make and newish (car has full service history on 160,000 miles)
what do you think on directing me to the ECT sensor I think he was scratching his head on the temp gauge coming up to half so quick. (was wondering if there was more than one fault going on)
would this sensor effect the power to a big degree
