Had to pt a new front tyre on mine last week cause i drove it home with about 10 psi in it and fecked it good and proper :roll:

In better news, filled my fuel filter this morning, got the Focus into jump starting mode, and cranked the feck out of the Tango machine, and.......

It Started :D :D Left it running for about 10 mins, then stopped for some lunch, then about 3 pm, went out to start it to go and pick up the valve from the stealers and it started first crank :D :D :D Looks like it's fixed :D

So it was that d1ckhead who didn't tighten the connection into the back of the PRV who caused the problem :oops: :oops: :oops:

Thanks for all the help guys :D :D

Hi guys,
I believe i have a earth problem,
When i start her up in the mornings & turn on the heaters or wipers etc, Everything seems to run slow for a minute or 2 & then everything seem to go on high power if you know what i mean. Everything seem to run normal. i have replaced the battery with a brand new one as it was needed. Also have just a single battery. My guess is a bad earth. Is there 2 earths on my van. All my electrics are mk6 as i have mondeo engine. What one would you look at first.

Many thanks

Tony
