These were then replaced and had no further problems.

Don't know if this helps

All the best in getting it fixed

Thanks Andy that does help The control box sounds a more likely cause to me. I know you had it fixed under warranty but have you any idea if this was an expensive job?

Not sure whether to just take it to my local (and very reputable) garage to have it checked over?
