Ok thanks....Did you have the emissions light on aswell Da?
I've bought a new cat and map sensor now so hopefully one of them will fix it.
I've had the emissions light on and off all through winter which I thought was the norm....so it's probably un related.
I've got exacltly the same problem ...just waiting on a map sensor which I'll get next week.
Is it ok to run the car with a dodgy sensor?
I've just been out , car was fine for about 2 miles then started spluttering and trying to cut out.
Could this damage the engine at all?
I've got home and...

I've just drove home from work with no probs...I've just gone to start the car again and it's struggling to start ....will start but is struggling to run trying to cut out+ black smoke from exhaust and smell of eggs.
The lights been on and off on the dash for a while now.
Are these the...
hmmm ...Ive even got the old cambelt here he took off.
Cant see that hes done the aux belt then.....it goes in for a service soon though so ill get it changed if not.
Edit: Just checked again it was £195 for the cambelt kit supplied and fitted.
Ill have to give them a call and ask...Ive just checked the receipt and it says cambelt kit...So its probably has been done.
Whats making me think not is i only paid £175.
