Have you gassed up someplace different lately?? You may have gotten a tank of bad/old gas which would give some of the symptoms you mention. JIM

Any further thoughts on this, Gaz?
None really! I did get a couple of puffs of blue smoke when I started it yesterday, forgot to check today...

Sadly not, I use the same petrol station and usually the same pump too.

To be honest I sometimes get a small puff of blue smoke from mine, which has only done 20,000 miles, but this is only the first start of the day and always after parking overnight after an "enthusiastic" drive home from work.
