Two months ago the dealer said that the DI Cassette was ok and they blamed a wiring break from a relay to the ECU ??? At least thats what they charged me for !! This time I deciderd not to go to the garage until I replaced the DI Cassette .THat decision has paid off. Any ways now that this problem is solved I have to see about replacing the washer bottle before the MOT in a couple of months. I have a Haynes so I will start by reading up in that .. Any tips or pointers welcome. -- From the desktop of Peter C Galway Ireland
