I've had a check and there doesn't seem to be any "leaks", however I did notice that there was a bit of oil or fuel in a puddle next to thecar this morning, might just be coincidence?

I will check the ignition AMP (any clues on what it looks like lol?)

And I serviced it at the end of October, so not that long ago, and not done many miles since either.

Gonna try and get it hooked up to a fault code reader on friday.

temp sensors are common fault as they can put to much or not enough fuel in and cause running issues
