Nelly the Cabby gets a box & a booty

......is back from the garage!!! New 5 speed box fitted (£75 for the box, £170 to fit it & new engine mounts). Its going ok but not perfect, overfueling now seems intermittent. Annoying!! Started it at the garage & ran like dream on the 3 miles home. Let it idle & #cough....sputter# here we go again. If the new injectors & new ECU dont cure it when they arrive then its bloody off to renault!!!
Also, nelly now has a rear spoiler (thanks matt). sure im going to get mixed opinions but we think its cool

also check the wires on the throttle position sensor. The insulation tends to go brittle and break off.

not yet, however, sometimes the car runs perfectly for 10mins at idle, then wiothout touching it it will start to run rough & start overfueling, you can smell it from the rear pipe.
