Drove it for 12 miles appeared ok. Stopped to fill tank to brim. Car started, then stop, start, stop, start, stop! Did show a code 045 at some point!! No idea what that was??

I have this, not sure if it's the right code though....P0450 Evap Emiss control system press sensor malfunction.

Hi Pete,

OK on tick over, but cuts out and no power. Had it recovered to local garage. 2 hours later they called to ask if AA added any additives as fuel was cloudy. I didn't know. Later today they had drained all, refuelled and run car ok??? As cam belt is due, they will change before completing full test drive. Appears a little odd to me and them.

Thanks

Well if the AA "drained" the tank by sucking from the front then they will only have emptied half the tank leaving several gallons in the left hand side of the tank which when the engine is started gets transfrered to the right hand side and mixed with your nice fresh diesel ... That would explain it .

Yeah, that sounds about right.
