Well done Steve. I "think" that's the only F125 problem that actually "kills" the car.
Everything else is variations of annoyance up to permanent "Limp mode" in the gearbox. But even then it's driveable.

She behaved herself tonight so hopefully the workaround will stick until I can get it sorted permanently

2. Unscrewed the (aftermarket) access panel - apparently this one is not one of Sean's, but not OEM either, so not sure what Mark did here
FYI, Steve, Mark made the access panel has his was badly affected by water ingress

Thanks both for the info, I'd spoken with MJ about it previously, she was sure it was one of Sean's
 That and Mark tackling Botang's hole has done the job, it is bone dry in there
