ye I was reading that colm earlier on but no one seems to have a definitive cure :banghead hope this is not the start of problems or ill burn it
 
I was driving the sh*t out of it yesterday from my house up to c&c then back down to joes house and it was when I came out onto the main road leaving joes I launched it hard and up through the gears then it came on ??????
 
it probably isn't I think I will run an engine flush through it incase, could be deposits in the oil galleries feeding the ocv's and change the oil and filter take it from there then
