checked all fuses and relays but can't see any fault with them.
Its had a new throttle body fitted but whilst on the subject of soldering the poor joints we actually did this on the old unit before buying anew one.
Fuel pressure was checked the 1st time we had the car in the workshop and over a 10 mile trip (back home) the pressure dropped around 8 psi but the car never had a fault in that distance.
fault code led flashes a code which is not even listed in autodata and i can't remember the code now but i'll have a look again in the morning and report back the code (flash code).
