Dunno how much you've investigated. Mine stopped and found out the inline fuse holder was pants and kept popping open. Slight mod later and its all good now :)

Ok, lets play nicely, even better lets be nice to each other. I have a ban stick and we all know I'm not afraid to use it.

Also, we don't call people retards, that's not clever and it's not polite.

Well I am currently rebuilding the engine so when cleaning the deck of the block I saw the low spot between cylinder 3 and 4, then on closer inspection there is a 8mm crack between the cylinder and down the bores absolutely gutted as I have spent about ££350 so far and no I need to get a new block. Pictures are in my project thread.
