I bought the proper key for the sump bolt £2 , old plugs were not in bad shape but replaced anyway .. oil was long overdue a change as well , all 3 litres of it  ;D Think it needs a few more to back on track so will do another in a few months . Should get 45-50 mpg now  :D

If its been abused in a former life - sounds like it has - worth changing all the brake fluid as well.

When do you get the ecu ? Is it the upgraded one  :)

Post by: martin42 on 21 January 2013, 18:46:40
well its 115 bhp,the old ecu was just a generic ecu for any 1.8,should be here by the 24th,now to get windscreen sorted out within the next couple off weeks,will wait for the better weather  :y
most of the ecu's i found didnt have a key with them,so would have had to take to stealers and get wallet raped by them,was easier to get an ecu with key so plug and ply  :y
