   Okay so for the past few weeks now that the rain is here, the Saxo has been playing up a bit...
   It's a 1.1 model and today it started jumping / spluttering and was having troubles running, I'm assuming it's something to do with taking on water somewhere and was wondering if anyone knew what might be causing it?
   It happened a few weeks ago but managed to clear itself, but today it was doing the same and wouldn't re-start again :'(
   
   I left it sat for a good 5 minutes and managed to get it started but didn't want to move it again cause I know the same will happen 2 mins down the road...
   
   Any help would be great.

   Not a complete fix but spray all of your sensors in the engine bay with damp start mate.
