Thanks for the link nik i shall look into it later.It is also coupled with engine cut out at around 2000 rpm and just a little lack of power.chnged the maf and no difference.so just trying to eliminate things

There are a lot of mobile diagnostic in swindon, one place i would avoid is scorpian engineering in swindon itself, i know the mobile ones charge anthing from 50 quid upwards.Best garage i ever used was laughing horses in wootton bassett, they are near sainsburys( if its still called that), down a little dirt track on the left hand side...he will give you free quotes and is a marvel..helped me a lot when i got stuck on my car and sometimes did work for free or for a pittance...His name is Keith.If you ever go there..tell him i sent you.He will remember me as i was always going there for help and advice.LOL.He is very well recommended and doesnt bullsh1t you either.

If you just need help with diagnoseing a prob..he will help you.He will fit parts that you get yourself aswell.
