Thanks for the offer GlenHenry, I may well give you a call to pick your brains, car is a 1995 4.6 HSE with 260000 on the clock, it was taken in part x by a' private trader' who then found he couldn't shift it, so it's literally been sat in the paddock for 6 months, still trying to work out the message center, got all the windows and sunroof set now so on to the next message!

Suspension goes down at the back in about 24 hours so valve block will get new seals, and the trip computer recons 46 litres to 100 kms, I'm hoping that will improve, 200 kms out of a tank full seems a bit thirsty!
