Thanks Dave, I will do! It seems pretty arbitrary at the moment but will see what I can deduce. It ran fairly well this morning but I noticed that it was producing a bit of grey smoke on startup and for a few mins whilst I was clearing the ice from the screen, rather than the crisp white smoke I am used to seeing from Redblocks on a cold start.

It wasn't blue in any way, so it isn't burning oil, but it looked to me like it was the symptoms of running a bit rich...quite the opposite problem to what the plugs seemed to indicate at the last change!

I'm going to keep an eye on it, new CTS arrives tomorrow and Bougicord leads the day following, so will see how they fare.
