Afternoon
As some of you may know I caused myself a problem last week when I had a flat battery as the ignition light was incorrectly fitted.
Now this may or mayn't contribute to my problem.
The car has been running a bit strangely this weekend, when you start it and drive off when you pull up at lights etc it stalls.
Once warm, the revs dip right down when off the throttle to almost stall, then recovered to give a slightly hunting scenario and then returns to normal, I think I may also have noticed it pops and bangs a bit more on overrun but this may OK.
Apart from that the boost is ok and it still goes like the preverbal

Any ideas?

Yep, as the boys above. Mine has been running like that for 6 months! I've assumed there's an air leak somewhere and the lamda is messing about with the engine management. Unfortunatley for me I've got too many priority jobs on the house first. (Obviously if I wasn't married it'd be the other way around!)

Berhund do what I did her indoors kept winging about all the time I spend with my nob so I got rid of her. It's quite nice having a bachela pad once again.
