Hi Guys,

I read every message in the forum to try and find a clue to my problem with my JTD. Your problem sounds similar and I hope you might have a solution that you would share with me. Our car has been in the (French) garage for 3 months now. each time they tell us its fixed we go to colect and its not!
I am an ex mechanic who no longer has time, tools or inclination, but it looks like I am going to have to sort this myself.
So I hope you might have some news for me.

Many thanks,
Ted
