Go straight to dealer, do not pass Go, do not collect 200 pounds (or any speeding fines). <g>

This problem has been mentioned before on this forum but I don't think it was resolved here.

The old girl is on her third engine...
* first ran a bearing (design failure in original engine)
* second had a failure of the water outlet on top of the engine (pls check yours)

I had this. Corrosion on the metal plate in the switch, which keeps the metal 'handle' that presses the microswitch pressed all the time. The switch needs to be taken out (clip at left and right), and then a bit of wd40 fixed it for me. Alternatively, bring it to the dealer. Wink IE - 05 D3 TDV6 HSE - Zambezi Silver
