Hi Mat,

Thanks for your reply,from what you say it could well be fouling the crank.I might check the oil with the engine running i should be able to feel something rubbing or some vibration on the dip stick.and maybe move the guide tube round as it dose go in at a tight angle to get it past the battery.I will have to drop the sump at some stage to get all the ends out.:}
