after refuelling and a much longer drive to and from london all appears to have returned to normal.
an odd one this and although i hope to not see it again i will have wait and see.
I'm sure we've had a case like this before. Keep searching (if I'm bored tomoz I might even search for it myself). Wish I could remember what (if any) conclusion there was.
