A manual gearbox or an AR35 autobox

Its a manual  :y

Whoohoo....don't even think about it. Just chip it  :y

I chipped mine last month and got much better fuel consumption and mucho more Oomph, and that's with an existing suspected injector pump issue, which will probably be confirmed in a full diagnostic on Wednesday.

Seriously, if it's now running right and it's a manual...just do it !!  :y 
While in my experience the mpg is considerably better, calculate manually, as the chip causes the MID to be over optimistic

 well done Ali,
 you had a lot of problems to work out , but you stuck with it and got there, lots of diesel magic it may be but it all helped to sort the problems , sincerely hope Syd now rewards you with many miles of economical motoring!!
get it chipped as said and you will enjoy the car a lot more than you do presently!!

Thanks guys and girls. To be honest Im not sure what sorted it, but think the second new battery helped, have done 2 oil changes on top of the glow plugs and other filters, think it just needed a good going over and lots of blasts down the A1m :D :D :D I did buy a hot fix kit but didnt need it after all.
As for my white bits I have been slowly blending them in ;) but with lots of sun tan lotion on, so not sure they will do the job on your neighbour Nick ::)
If Pete's lucky I'm going to fiddle with him next week ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Good stuff Ali, glad to hear it's fixed! (What did I say to you regarding the battery?)

The next 'must do' is to get it chipped.
'PM' TheBoy or Omegatoy in the first instance. Cost is around 70 quid - whoohoo!
