Cheers Isaac,

As I knew would happen, drove back to the b**** today, put the jump leads on and she started first turn of the key )o( Grrrrrrrr....

Anyway, got her home, turned her off. Left 15mins. Tried to start. Nope.

Soooo, I think you could be on the money with the temp sensor - I assume whats happenning is that the temp sensor is telling the choke the car is cold, and it`s flooding it immediatly I try to start it when it`s hot/warm.

A new sensor is about £30 - peanuts if it fixes the problem - am I right in thinking this is the one that prodrudes at about 45% towards the block from under the inlet manifold? How would I check the resistance? I have an all-singing multi-meter, but what would I be looking for?

Cheers

Sinbad
