whilst at IanD house one day ian detected a noise & thought it may be the alternater pulley. but the car was getting hard to start - starter motor issue. i cleaned it & and up till yesterday its been great. i had the intake manifold off at that time. i retightened the intake/m yesterday & that cured the screech that i thought was coming from the turbo(earlier post) bringing it to my present prob - did a few short journeys yesterday, the last one being 200mts or so before it dying - battery dead - at home discovered i had air in fuel system. ian,s told me to check lift pump & work forward. the starter/m is playing up again so cranking is a nightmare + batt is losing power

since posting this iv,e managed to get it running. had the lift pump out & there is a two wired plug that is connected inside may have but cant be certain but it may have had a bad contact. the fuse under the bonnet that feeds it was blown (discovered by Ian) after it went back in situ i cranked it (when the starter motor allowed) & it started quite easy. Ian is calling round later so the battery & alternater will be checked out. :)
