Cheers for that vr6turbo. I'm based down in Northamptonshire but thanks for the offer. Much appreciated. The garage I use here had it on a diagnostics system and couldn't find any fault. The only thing they could come up with (which happened to another VR6) was that the ignition key was faulty or the barrel. So I'm using the spare key and no problems this morning on the way to work. !lol
