Thanks Martin, Just didn?t want to take the chance. Got the lumpy ride tracked to a cracked spark plug which I had a spare of so all sorted for tomorrow now. Can you throw one of those switches into your luggage and Ill get it off you next week. Cheers mate.

They leak on just about every car that comes through the door :-( It -may- be running down the wire from the cam cover behind the ac pulley tensioners. In our engine section, although mail order will get a bit slow in the next week! (and I didn't just write the caption BTW :-) This will not prevent the car running properly unless the leak gets silly bad, which is unlikely. I've seen worse.
