Hi there, We've tracked down Flopsy's problem to being a knackered thermostat, so that will be sorted tomorrow, new throttle body should be fitted on Wednesday. Verity and me took the intake manifold off, checked the hoses and sorted the wiring for the idle out this afternoon/evening. Finished around 10pm! We actually left the industrial unit just before 10pm yesterday as we were waiting for James' car to go back together before hitting McDonals for some grub before going home. Still, at least the AA Flat Bed saved me another £20 in petrol :o) (cheers for that Chris Hawes!!!) Nite nite!!!
