Hi. The light comes on, the power drops straightaway then it will sometimes totally cutout! don't know if it has an actuator. (its a 53 plate?)

Sometimes if i nurse it very gently it will not happen (sometimes even giving some power it doesn't happen)
Starts fine
no smoke
runs well when cold. gets worse when it reaches temp.
no codes. Even drove to the garage with the light on. He had to turn it off to plug the reader in and no faults in both parts of the reader!

ggrrr If i didn't have so far to drive to work i'd take my 1975 vw camper... more bloody reliable but 19mpg and no heater!!! lol
