Change mass air sensor better but still not right.
Change dizzy cap, rota and leads to try and cure the 5k limit (it happened all of a sudden one day).
Clear codes Hall sensor fault ok will replace nXt week when I get paid.
Yesterday cluch went all dodgey no first, its done it before and kind of fixed itself not now though, new clutch cable now ok.
Oh forgot to mention replaced power steering pipe from pump to steering rack in the first week and also front engine mount (mount snapped pipe fractured, powersteering fluid all over road)
