have a look at cylinder 1 injector mate my bro in law had the same problem. cylinder 1's injector is inside the rocker cover and the rubber of the lead gives way to the hot oil and disintegrates after time making it miss fire at low rev's

worth a try ??

thanks for the quick reply ozzydan iwill give it a bash tonight and post how it went, do you know if any special tools are needed ?
I have also noticed that when i start up engine first gear seems to be a bit stiff to select i hope its not the gearbox rivet problem,i will keep you posted cheers

i dont know about the tools mate his went to the garage to be fixed cost him about £120 big ones.

£120 to fix it must be a few hours labour, not to worry i have a good selection of tools at home

i've that trouble with mine n has only happened since i changed the throttle body. my gearbox went when i first bought it, n got the "fix" to solve the pin problem

[crazycalum]

nt bin about for ages i'm sorry but still no closer to gettin to the route of this, mines now doing it in every gear, plus its redlining at 5200 instead of past 6, only when in gear tho, if in neutral the engine still revs to 6, it cud b tht many diff things i dnt knw where to start. idling up n down AGAIN as well.

list of probs being:

idling up n down
redline at 5200 when in gear bt nt in neutral
when driving acceleration stops when foot dwn n then shoots off wit all power in one go n then slows again
stiff to go into 1st gear
any ideas??? its past being embarrassing and shouting at the dashboard doesnt work lol
