You know I think that someone, somewhere, is sending you lots of little hints, that you really need to go out and buy another Omega....  :-\  ;)  ;D

Aye , but ive been cleaning the throttle body . Short trips say about a mile or so a day , maybe the battery needs a good charge from a longer run as it could be zapping all the juice out of it with all the short runs  :-\
