    1) Do you pen-push (trade invoices) or just look at DK?
    2) Fact no go with easy start sounds like mechanical fault
    3) Have had one where the loom was ROTTEN 'by the battery'
    4) Thinking reno megane, (think early astra - alternatr at back with earth strap), had them where the wire snapps as your trying to crank
    5) Check the oil level, does dash say "oil ok" or "--------" (no oil)
    jack the front up so oil 'fills' the sensor

    Seem to think it one of them french cars that has NO timing marks, at all, no key way noting!

    Just rip the rocker cover off.

    OFF TOPIC:

    Oh don't tell anyone about this BTW, otherwise people will be taking the piss.

    About two weeks before xmas i dreamed was at some horse racing track, swinging from a light pole like a monkey, This bloke comes up and says hello Meat-Head, i'm Sminoff_Rules, with that i dreamed i fell off the pole and woke up. (surpised who it was, more surprised about knowing user name!)

    A few days later was at fat unemployed friends and a rare one off 'time team' was on tv, the guy on there (time team guy), not seen him before or since was the image had in head of what you look like!!

    If somebody can find list of photos of time team staff will try and point the geezer out!

    Thanks

    Using lots of oil? Could be the dreaded cracked inlet manifold gasket. Dont supose the engine is covered in oil? Well more than it should be!!!
