also dis cap might be issues with stalling when going through puddles so might be worth changing this anyway to rule that out.

cheers for all the helpful advise
I have read on here problems associated with puddles and a sensor which plays up. Apologies, can't remember which engine though or more about the sensor. Might be worth searching the forum a bit.

=D> Thanks Mike, I was on a phone and being lazy. I see it relates to the V6 which is nice and relevant.

update guys

changed battery as looks like this was very close to going completly flat. since we have put a new 90 amp battery in all works fine. my mechanic has changed the spark plugs but said they looked ok and full service. changed the dizzy cap and found they the king lead was not in great shape so ordered a new one of these.

should sort the puddle issues and no start up issues since.
