carb cleaner all over the engine! once you hit the air leak the revs will drop for a bit!

yea i did cheers mate, and no, only saw the 1 key in the ignition but the guy that worked in the garage just said to take the key it wont be needed, if you've got the other key any chance you could stick the chip in an envelope and send it me please?
oh and just spoke to the lad who's trying to sort my car out while im at work, he said it looks like me icv was knackered so thats getting replaced tonight, so deffinately looking like it wasnt your fault

which bit did you mean, your mum and dad did say if theres anything you need just take it, but didnt want to take the piss lol, just took engine gearbox, chip transponder ecu and shafts, we were going to leave the shafts aswell but the guy that was there (the guy that runs the garage i think) said that they'd be no use so take them, and you have a u2u mate
