Right, best bet is to check the oil levels first make sure they are ok, remove the plugs and then remove the fuel pump relay (i guess its an injection) this will then stop fuel going to the engine. Next is to remove the connection from the coil pack so it doesnt try to spark either.

Get in the car ...

Right it did it again yesterday, today i fitted all new ignition components, found out one of the leads were broke and nearly at the end of the life (so much for being replaced at service, charged me too!) Going to see how it runs now with the new plugs and things.

Wish me luck!

Well at the weekend if i get time (My mini is coming home from paint yey!) i shall check the timing and all the ignition components, hopfully it wont be too far out, was set by a garage awhile back so shouldnt be too far out.

Can you use a AFM from any other VW or are they polo specific?

So it could be the AFM and the timing.

Where did you get the AFM from? There are no polos in the scrappers near me so im quite stuck for spares, ive heard they are expensive new.

Yeah wouldnt take long, especially if the lights are on, wipers, heater, rear screen, radio etc, especially in the weather we are having.

Would drain pretty quick if battery wasnt in good condition.
