geoff - I can definately say it wasnt cold as were in mid summer here (South Africa):cool: Hopefully it was just once off. I have to go out at lunch, so Ill have a nice gentle drive;) ;) and see what it does.

No all I did was change from 5th to 1st whilst doing a 180 handbrake turn. That wouldnt cause it would it;) :o No really, I didnt do anything different to every other morning.
