Tell me about it, I'm still waiting on the builders coming back to finish my roof off, I've been having the damaged tiles and ridges replaced but they can't do cement because of the sodding rain.

Thanks for that gaz, I never thought of that;), I think i will change the spark plugs as a precaution, wheres the cheapest place to buy them, (iridiums)?

me too

I'm no expert but I have had some old bangers pass MOT's with oil leaks

very good

Cheers mate, yeah the battery is sorted now, same goes, if you ever needed to borrow parts for testing if you get problems, just give me a pm

I think you've hit the nail on the head Ian, there are definately no fault codes, my brother told me to take the plugs out and leave them off over night as they would be fouled up from trying to start it with the throttle down and apparantly this will evaporate the remaining fuel. Got it started after cleaning up the plugs with a wire brush, I took off all the electrical plugs I could see around the engine bay and sprayed them with wd40 which probably did nothing but I was getting desperate. It fired up straight away once the plugs were back in but was idling very low about 300rpm, I've took it for a spirited blast for a few miles and all is back to normal, I guess it was just flooded. Thank f*ck it wasn't an immobiliser problem. Thanks to everyone for the advice, much appreciated
