It progressively got worse until on a warm summer's morning it wouldn't start at all. Currently being repaired, but they tell me it is the air inlet sensor which needs replacing. Not exactly sure what this means as I live in Belgium, and am having to translate on the phone from French into Haynes manual English. Could be the Air Inlet Temperature Sensor (Fig 15.8 in my version), but I'm not sure. When I know I will mail again. -- John
