Hiya Chris, Stafford's not far from the N/W meeting place so why not pop up when you get the car.

If you describe the cars symptoms to us, we will endeavor to diagnose the cause, and tell you how to fix it.. good ere Innit.. lol...

Hi guys yeah from what I've read so far on here it sounds like plenum troubles but my dad says that's all been checked, personally I don't like the place and would not be happy with little bits that's happened on it.

I have put a thread up in the technical section of anyone would like to have a look entitled 75electrical gremlins
