Its working again!
Some of you may have heard my plight with charging & battery faults, well hopefully fingers crossed its all sorted!
Its been a long, expensive and extremely frustrating time.

After the fault was finially rectified it started smoking from the engine quite badly, this happened on the drive home from the garage so was again fearing the worst.

a few more quid and everything seems perfect (touches wood!)


Charging fault - turned out to be a soaking wet immobiliser box so affected central locking, alarm and generally drained the battery.

Smoking - rocker cover gasket on left bank, leaking oil onto manifolds.


All this just in time for Tax & MOT, great!
