Hi Ian,

Welcome to the Midas forum. I hope you find all the info you need here!

It would be great if you could put some info on your car in the live or dead section!

Kind regards,

David

heh heh, the one and only time it happened to me it was due to large parts of the gearbox making a break for the fresh air.
