Just a thought I've not long since had front pipe fitted when they took lambs sensor out they said it looks ok, should the have disconnected battery?

Thanks

Oh the fuel smell seems to come from the exhaust

The plugs were black when I've just changed them, you can slightly smell fuel, coolent level is to maximum not using more than normal. When temp reaches 90 it runs fine no juddering or spluttering, white smoke seems to have gone now too

Just abit of an update, I've done service cleaned all leads cleaned most connections I can see, not got round to temp sensor yet but now when I start car up its totally over fuelling it stinks white smoke coming out of exhaust, plugs showed over fuelling too. It's got worse on start up proper kangar...

Thanks I'll give it a go

Hi all me again.....
Took car (Bert) for mot today good thing is he passed yeay, but when they revved it right up engine management light was on. Once switched off it disappeared but on my way hom it came on again for around 10 seconds have you any idea what this could be thanks

It's fine when I ordered new cat last yr had to get it for 2 litre & same with front pipe tried telling me car had been messed about with but it's been in family since around 98. It's the concept one I've got just thought that with it being one a last ones off production line that the fitted wha...

Lamber is fitted to front down pipe off manifold, the sensor with spade in was green till I cleaned it up. I'll definitely check all other connections still give em a clean tho . No leaking inside the rubber around window is fine, had to have a new screen other year & all metal work around windo...

Think you could be right with those wires because now I come to think when I first had it done the temp gauge in car didn't move at all until I wiggled the wire with just the spade on it then it started to move again, so I'll check them others that lamber plugs into... Thank you

Ok thanks for replying to me. I'll try doing what I've said in going to do & fingers crossed it works lol. Got to be sorted mot time soon..... Ooh another thing I've had front pipe changed recently and they put the old lamber sensor back in as they said it was ok you don't think they could have ...

It's just a normal 1.6 injection, got some more oil n filter so going to change that & change rocker gasket again cos that's started leaking again. While I was at it I was going to check plugs, clean distributor. Do you think fuel filter could cause this problem? Thanks

It's a 1.6, after cars been running about 5 mins or so it's fine that's why I'm scratching my head lol it's just strange

Help! Our Bert has a slight problem on start up juddering low revs, smelly exhaust & when I put my foot on gas it kangaroos but the thing is its not all the time. Any ideas thanks

I had a new windscreen a couple of yrs ago cost me excess £75 fitted by auto glass hat dug job sheet out glass was £89.45 & rubber trim was £91.36 total for job if I didn't claim would have been £236.95 with vat! Then to top it off only had the screen in a week went to dip interior mirror cos a ...

Thanks for your reply Rob,
