cheers celes i have just changed all injectors and the car is still the same so it looks like a strip down to take the valves out the car still runs but is a pig when it is cold on low revs but ok on high revs do u know what goes wrong with the valves and is it clearly visable on removal of valves

Does your engine knock when going uphill in 4th at 1500rpm? Mine does if I apply a substantial amount of throttle...sounds like a bag of spanners being kicked around

I'm not sure what needs to be checked on the valves themselves...maybe corrosion? I emailed autovaux about the repair kit for £84...I'll see what they have to say about it.

Hope you get it sorted mate. It's a very good car when working well. How many miles has yours done, if you don't mind me asking?

46.000 miles not a lot for the type of engine and to have these problems so early in its life span
