The guy chopped out the worn out bits of cable and somehow reconeected it,
and all was well.

Again, sorry about my vagueness.
Thanks for that. It sounds good. We've taken the car back round the
corner for the garage to have another look at it tomorrow but if they
don't have any luck I'll take a look at that. Chopping in a few new
lengths of wire is within my abilities, it's discovering what is
actually wrong that isn't!

No problem - hopefully the garage will sort it out, let us know how it
goes.


Thanks for all the advice, chaps. Well, the garage couldn't find
anything wrong, nor did they get any misfiring when driving or
starting it! However, they did dismantle the fuel pump and relay and
that seems to have sorted the problem. It's run absolutely fine since
we got it back so I'm guessing there must have been some dirty
contacts somewhere and this must have stopped the fuel pump working at
times. I must admit that when it wouldn't start there wasn't a strong
smell of fuel which I would have expected.

Anyway, fingers crossed...
