Thanks for that, the van lives at my work so I'll try and skive out some point during the week and have a nosey. Fingers crossed it'll be an obvious frazzled wire - will let you know how I get on

Does anyone have a simple 'to do' list which shows what we should do and when? Its got a recon engine which does kick out ...
