BE VERY CAREFUL :shocked:

THE VERY SAME THING JUST HAPPENED TO ME LAST WEEK! :embarassed:
I CHANGED THE SWITH AND BUZZER, WENT OUT FOR A TEST DRIVE AND THE ENGINE DIED ON ME,

got a friend to bring his trailer, just cos i knew there was something wrong major,
i got home checked the oil level which was fine, and then i took the oil filler cap off, which to my shock and dismay i found a custard cream liquid equaling head gasket! :cry:

get your head checked dude!!!!

hope you dont have the same problem as me!

That creamy liquid is a b*****d.

Still more likely to be the switch - if not the damage is probably already done dude!

Good luck.
