Yes, late to kick in - when it does, it seems fine. Doesn't seem to kick in until 2,500 - 3,000 revs though... 2nd gear is particularly noticeable, though not sure why that would be the case...

I've cleared out the intake manifold and cleaned the butterfly valve; some sticky stuff but not that bad considering. The MAP sensor seemed a little gunked up, but I only have brake cleaner spray in my kit so didn't want to try using that. Good idea to get some proper cleaning fluid and try that...

Thanks Monks, great stuff. Just a case of ordering the right parts then ;)

Fantastic write up, thanks! Has actually given me the confidence to give it a go - once I've bought a few extra tools... :D Thought I'd at least pull everything apart, check the condition of pads & discs and give it all a good clean... Can't hurt eh? Only thing - any differences between Saloon...

Thanks guys, I'll check these out.

Hi everyone Couldn't find another thread on this. Wonder if anyone has any experience repairing scuffed (black) leather?? The driver seat has a fairly deep scuff mark (down to the creamy-coloured leather underneath, probably 8cm by 4cm) from previous ownership... I don't want to spend any...
