Ok, I think i may have panicked yesterday. Managed to have a good look at my engine today when it was in the daylight and have found the following after a 20 mile drive:

Dont seem to be losing much water if any, could the cold weather have made the water in the expansion tank drop just a little??

The oil on the dipstick is clear with no signs of emulsification

The oil filler does have some emulsification but not as much as i first thought

The anti-freeze in the expansion tank is clear with no oil on the top


does anybody think that the emulsification in the filler neck could have been caused by the colder weather we are having in the UK at the moment, and that the restarting problem could be due to a seperate fault like the fuel pump or a sticking DME/Fuel relay.

your thoughts would be appreciated and thank you for all your responses so far. By the way a 20 mile drive never caused the temperature gauge to go any higher than halfaway (normal)

thanks
