Hi Robin,
This sounds very much like the problems I have had.
I will be very intrested in the outcome.
If you need to move/start the car I will put money on that it will
bump start by pushing or towing.
If this is the case both our cars seam to have a similar fault.
This problem has even stumped the very experanced race mechanics at
work.
Its a very frustrating problem, I checked everything and had the
multimeter out as well testing components.
Regards
Nick H
