Answer
Hi Simon, did you repair the cracked pipe you found? A couple of questions for you 1. when it starts again will it continue to run?
2.do you have any orange lights on on the dashboard(engine with a lightning flash through it)? 3.When it does run does it mis-fire or skip ? If you can answer these questions I will be in a better position to help you - thanks Paul
