Awesome … thank you ! The battery was the first thing I replaced when I got her, so it's just over 12mths old - however I've not checked the other end of the battery cables. I keep coming across the 'PCM' when trying to trace through and de cypher the wiring diagram I have (not REALLY sure if its the right one for my year though) However, now I know where to find the PCM I'll check its mountings and make a close inspection of the connections. All the other things you mention make a lot of sense, so I can get stuck into some methodical investigation. I'm not afraid of hard work, but knowing where to start was my big problem. I apologise if I keep saying it, but I'm really grateful for the help - I've just placed my order for an OBDII - Scanner so will feedback any findings and will keep reading old posts, in case I find anything else that's relevant.

Regards

Stuart
