Thanks for the comments, guys. Sorry to have mussed Backy's moment of glory
too.

Have you got the brake hoses, Martin? If so, could yousend them please. I
ll check the Q clip but the plit was not from the belt, I'm pretty sure. 
The garage say they didn't actually replace all the hoses, just the ones
that looked bad. This one looked OK on the outside but I think may have
gonbe very soft. A lesson for me I think.

I've also got some intermittent slow running which feels like fuel
starvation. Has anyone been having problems with water in the fuel in this
weather (from condensation?). Is there a dispersant avaiklable or do I have
to empty the tank?

Can't remember when NEC is but I'll come if I'm free, even if not on the
stand.

Tony
ps We had no lightning or storm down here.

Hi Tony

Are you by chance missing the "q" clip that holds it away from the ac belt?

These hoses seem to be dropping like flies at the moment!!!
