http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260795917327&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT#ht_758wt_1130 if its rubbish... may i draw your attention to this :)

right, little update, problem still stands after the garage 'thought' they had done it by changing the throttle actuator. its clearly not that, it comes on and stays on... but every once and a while it decides to go off and be fine, turn the car off and start again, it can come up.... any ideas...

cheers for the replies, its not spluttery at all, sounds sweet, just the revving goes up down etc, i initially think its lambda sensors but not sure which one, ^^^ as you say pre cat sensor... took it to the garage today anyway so will have to wait for the hefty bill!

right, heres the deal, i have a clio 172 (facelift) and basically the emissions light comes and goes, when the light is on, it revs by itself and if i put my foot on the throttle it wont pass 3000rpm. i think its a faulty lamba sensor(s) but would like a second opinion before i take it to a...

18, ph2 172, student also.

^^^ Thats no bad, direct line have killed me though, built up a years no claims and because I moved insurance they wouldnt transfer my no claims over. Hence why ive gone temporary cover.

I have just brought new car insurance on a ph2 172 as a temporary driver (as im at uni) its £365 fully comp.
