Step away from the vehicle ! Walk away while you still can ! ...is my advice; another 1.3 which hasn't got such severe problems will be along in no time at all, see gumtree or ebay.

Yeah I saw that on ebay, I dropped out after 600 though, glad you're getting it sorted (Y) Got any plans for mods ?

Here's hoping your next birthday will be happier mate - so are you off to Rosie's to drown your sorrows ?:p

That's tough, Frank :down: my sympathies. Did the neighbours not see anything ? No-one notice your car being loaded up ?

Yeah 9/2000 so a coilpack to make things a bit more difficult :glare:

Thanks, so using the meter to find the signal and ground wires will tell me which others are heaters then, perhaps I can sort this #### hesitation out at last...

I've found lots of useful info re: 3-wired lambdas (thanks Frank) but the 4-wire fitted to my Micra is a bit of a mystery - should it still give the same readings ? shall I just keep poking with my mulitmeter :o until I get similar results too ?

So has anyone tried fitting a driver's airbag onto a pre-95 model ? Y'see, since my last-but-one RTA I won't drive without one, although my chest has now recovered...:doh: thanks in advance, G.

That's a whole lotta readin' thanks Frank, this may take a while...

Thanks Shaun, but the MAF sensor was new, though I did choose the cheapest I could find (£27 from AutoSense off ebay)... Oh yeah Frank, I recall you did say something about the lambda sensors when you took a look under the bonnet for me, though I can't remember what it was you said... Would...

whenever I see someone write about the new Z series, or even rarer, see one on the road, I remember these originals as things of beauty.:blush:

So now I'm a bit confused with this BOSCH throttlebody... On fitting a new MAF sensor I got the engine management light to go out, and the hesitation issue stopped; :) for about a week/100 miles, then - on Tuesday I could feel it start to go again (though nowhere near as bad as last time)...

Someone had taken a hacksaw to the screws holding the MAF sensor on my Bosch model, so all I needed was a stubby flat-head and £30 on ebay. After about 100 miles the engine management light has come back on once again, so I've got a code reader off ebay for £25, half the cost of a trip to a...

This one's not quite so expensive yet... http://bit.ly/hY9CYj

that is, according to gumtree: http://sheffield.gumtree.com/sheffield/09/72862809.html I think Harlen was looking, but I can't post in the buy & sell section...
