Get it scanned as a 1st step, saves a lot of wasted time.

it doesnt sound like its misfiring, but il have a bobbies tomorrow morning when i get it up to temp, ive changed the maf sensor, did that about 4 months ago replaced it with a bosch part so i know there wont be a fault with that, ive done all service requirements aswell just as a safe guard, but il have a look and see if the cat is f***ed , another costly expense to sort out haha ,

thats why we all love dubs.
