just thought i'd update you - everything ok, no problems -starts stop and more importantly starts again - has not missed a beat.

Thinking back, when it let left me stranded i remember touching the earth terminal on the battery and noted that it was very hot - i am thinking that the connection was poor or not making 100% and effectively the connector was acting as a heater thus draining the battery ????? not sure if this is feasible or logical - Anwya, i will see how it goes over the next few days and do some voltage checks - standing, at tickover and at 2k rpm.
