Laine!!

Got the same problem on mine - mine isnt dead - but not working as it should , currently getting about 250miles for £32 of petrol - but thats taking it reasonably easy and motorway/A road mileage.

Am planning on getting this sorted asap.

Also, i can smell the fuel on more than one occasion.

According to Nick Hill, My lambda sensor only playing up wen idling - wen throttle pressed its working....IIRC

Hence the decent Mileage.

Duly noted bout the Bosch Replacement.
