Hi Iain,

I didn't speak with QV about it because I was pretty sure it was a separate
issue.  The work QV did was first-rate and wasn't related to the
starter/fuel system.
In the end I called out the rescue service that is affiliated to my
insurance policy to see if they could at least diagnose the fault before I
had to have any work done by a "real" garage.

Anyway, after 2 hours the mechanic said it was the fuel pump and arranged
for a flatbed truck to pick the car up and whisk it to the workshop.  By
this time I was resigned to the fact that it was going to cost me big bucks
again so I popped off to the bank to draw the green.  As I was walking out
of the bank I got a call from the garage to say I could come and get the
car(!) In the end it turned out to be a darn fuse!  The chaps at the garage
were great and didn't charge anything so I just gave them something for some
beers and went my merry way.  A happy bunny.

That is to say, until that evening, when the "imminent brake failure" light
came on......  Waaaaah.  I closed the garage door and haven't gone in since.
