Drove from Telford to Coventry this morning no problem. Jumped in tonight at 6.30 to come home, started first time. Drove 100m round the corner to drop the keys off to the house i was working on, came back out and thats as far as i got :-[ Turning over ok but its having none of it, trying to go,plenty of fuel in it, so where do i start. I put V power in it this morning which it doesn't usually have, I wonder?
Any clues chaps [smiley=cry.gif]

Cheers Jamie. Just wanted to get home tonight and see what people thought, wasn't in the mood and it was starting to get dark. Will have a better look tomorrow and do paperclip when i go back down to cov and post results. Back to the Volvo for a few days then and 18 mpg :o

My money is on crank sensor, but let's see the results first. :)

I remember Mark asking me that when i had the same problem, and it wasn't. Sure enough it was the crank sensor.
When i changed it i checked again, and sure enough when it starts cranking the light goes out, meaning it's ready to start. ::)

My money is on the rubber thing that holds the exhaust on....
Either that or the crank sensor.

Funny you should mention the rubber thing because one unhooked itself and i had to rehook for the MOT, must be option 2 :D
