hello again ,
another problem i am experiencing at the moment (probably due to the weather ) i do a fifteen minute drive to work in the mornings and the bus doesnt seem to warm up enough, every time i stop at lights ? junctions it cuts out and i have to restart which i think is taking its toll on the battery, I cannot let it prewarm by starting it a few minutes before i leave as it wont idle on its own ,any advice please ????

cheers for the advice, i have ordered one will be here next week ,hopefully that will do the trick, And i can pick the van up from work where i had to leave it because it wouldnt start the other morning due to the freezing fog.
(fingers crossed). Alfie.

Hope it sorts it.
Sounds like a service and good battery charge might be in order?
This fault shouldnt affect the starting ability. :)
