Iv'e bled the system and alls well. Only one bleed as well. Thanks for all the replies fellas, Merry Christmas!

Hi Paul, Problem solved. The expansion tank IS seperate. I removed the air filter housing, moved over the power steering reservoir and the small round reservoir that attaches to the rad housing next the top hose. I then un-clipped the hose thats fits in the bottom of the expansion tank (there is only one) The tank is now free. I then very carefully wiggled the tank around and it finally came free. It was stubborn to get it out. To fit the new one, just reverse the process. The only trouble I had was the top house kept leaking, but all in all wasn't difficult. Once again thanks mate.

Thanks Paul, That was really helpful, its given me a few tips. Thanks for taking the trouble to find that clip. Cheers. Merry Christmas!

Expansion tank has split. Questions: Can I just replace the tank without taking the rad out.While its out of the car is it worth changing anything else? Is it easy to replace? Any advice? Cheers Fellas

Okey Dokey, ill have a look. Cheers!

Cheers Dabsy, What relay and any idea/number where it is? And yea ignition switch/barrel did spring to mind. Any thoughts of the problem being the key itself?

Turn the ignition key to position one. Service light and radio comes on. Turn to position two and no ignition light comes on. After turning the on/off a few times ignition light comes on but will not fire the engine. Keep turning on/off and suddenly it all works normally. Any ideas, chaps?

Tried spraying into keyhole and catch, no success. I can't see how it can get inside as it seems to be pretty well sealed. I'm going to take off the door card at the weekend and spray everywhere! Something else, the door open display isn't working or the open door alarm.

Cheers, will do

Thanks Gav, Can I just spray from outside without removing the door card? Cheers.

Cheers mate, will do.

Hi All, When I open the drivers door, the interiors lights won't come on. When any other doors open all the lights come on. I can't see any switch on the drivers door. Any ideas Chaps?

I tried another ECU and it still had the same problem. I can't think of anything else to try and so I'm selling it to my mechanic. Both of us have been trying for nearly two months to solve this but now Iv'e had enough. Shame, that was my pride and joy. Anyway, thanks to everybody who tried to help me, I really appreciated all your suggestions. Cheers All Steve

Yea could be as I have had a few backfires when trying to start it. Iv'e got someone trying to borrow another ECU to see if that makes any difference. When I took it out, there was some water in the compartment but the ECU looks dry, terminals look OK. I tried to test for continuity between the ECU plug and the coils but get a reading on nearly all the terminals. No pattern at all. I'm just going to wait to see if I can get the borrowed ECU.

Ill give that a go. I'm getting 12v at all the coil plugs with the ignition turned on. Iv'e taken out the ecu and will test to see if I have continuity to the coils (when its stops raining) on the other terminals, there are three on each plug,
