Hi all,

To wrap this one up, it turned out to be a faulty crank position sensor. It failed in such a way that it intermittently caused the DME to think that the engine was being turned over when...

I didn't realise you could swap just the foam and leather. That gets around the problem of the driver's seat only having the folding handle on one side. Could you post any tips you have on getting...
