Dixie you heard owt from crasher yet?

We'll get to the bottom of this fault. Have faith  :cool:
Yeah he seems to think it maybe either coil or crank sensor.Crank Sensor is only about 3 months old so i hope it aint that.Coil is about 18 months old and was fitted by AA when last one packed in on me.

Can't see it being crank if its 3 months old. Plus they are a pain in the fecking ass to fit because of the location. Could be coil pack I suppose, but not worth spending to find out when it could cost you 30 mins and 5 quid for some wire lol.

I dunno y, I'm getting the feeling you may need to re-align the throttle body again.

Try what vdubninja has suggested and then try aligning the throttle body and take things on from
there.

No reason, just a gut Feeling, coz this is what your car was doing before, until you had it re-aligned and it fixed it. It's not going to cost you owt to have it done is it?
Worth a try, take 2 lol
