I'm thinking it was the plug, although the wires aren't the neatest I've seen.
If it's died on me again tomorrow I'll sort it, if not... Meh. :pac:

Thanks for that.
1. Its ok
2 linky no work
3. Fantastic, love the original too.
4. Liked this already, never knew who it was.
5. Bad link.
6. Not bad
7&8 dont like, what video game is that tune in 8 from. Its driving me nuts.

My eldest daughter (17) thinks that the alfa/tattoos/wakeboarding/motocross is all a giant midlife crisis she's gonna go mental.:D

She hates the alfa anyway (mainly coz her mates all love it) and thinks i should buy a passat/some skoda yoke and be normal.
