This is driving me potty now. One moment I will boot my car and it will fly Then a couple of moments later I can boot it and it pinks so much it sounds like the cam is about to jump out the top of the engine.

Any ideas of things I can try before Steve and the SCC boys get lumbered with my car again?

Any help gratefully received

I'll have a play tonight and see if I can suss it. Cossie map sensor may need to be added to my shopping list

Ginge !

steve a cossie should be added next to the shopping list

Oranoco

Don't want one

Getting a house has ruled out Cossie ownership and it's touch and go whether I'm even gonna be able to keep my beantin

Ginge !
