Ok my 20XE in my corsa is running extremely rich- took her to the Pod from Wycome and back and used just over half a tank of fuel! And the idling is odd as well as a really bad petrol smell....
So any ideas if I can correct it or how much work would be involved if I take it to a garage?
Cheers!

Is it black smoking?
ECU light on?
Is the car "chipped"?

Oh sorry, thought it was running rich not lean. Oh well technical lingo aside...  LOL
